What is Patta?

Patta online is basically a legal document in the name of the actual owner of the property by the Tamil Nadu government. It can be obtained from the Tahsildar’s office of the particular district or Patta online application can also be filed. Usually, Patta contains the following information:

• Name of the District, Taluk, and Village
• Patta Number
• Name of the owner
• Survey number and subdivision
• Is it a Wetland or a Dryland (Nanjai Nilam and Punjai Nilam in Tamil)
• Area of the land and Tax details

The seller of the property must have valid Patta for the land that he is going to sell for a clear property title. Whereas the buyer must apply to the concerned Taluka office for transfer of Patta to the buyer name to maintain a clear title but after the purchase of land.

Following is a sample document of Patta:

Importance of Patta form

• The Patta form indicates the legal ownership of the land. The form is issued either in the name of the owner or the names of the co-owners (in case of joint holdings).  
• Patta could be used in the case of any disputes to the entitlement of the property. 
• In case of sale or transfer of the property, Patta will be the main determinant of the ownership of the property. 
• And if the government wishes to ascertain land, then it has to pay the compensation to the Patta holder (since it signified the first right to the title over that property). 

What is Chitta?

It is also a government document maintained by the Village Administrative Officer (VAO) and the Taluk office pertaining to immovable property. A Chitta has the classification of the land between Nanjai (Wet-land) and Punjai (Dry-land) along with the details of the owner of the property.

Important note: 

Nanjai is the land with plenty of water usually with water bodies like rivers, canals, ponds, etc. On the other hand, Punjai is the land with fewer water bodies and have facilities such as bore-wells.
