How to check Patta transfer application status online?

When selling or purchasing property in Tamil Nadu, one must know the many processes and legal requirements, including the Patta transfer application. 

The government of Tamil Nadu issues a document called a Patta Chitta. This document is used to prove the legal claim of a property owner on the asset. Precisely, a Patta Chitta is a land certificate that contains all of the essential information about the property. This facilitates the hassle-free buying and selling of real estate by reducing the likelihood of legal disputes and erroneous transactions. The Patta Chitta is kept up to date by the Tahsildar of each district, and it is possible to get a copy of it either through the office of the Taluk or online.

What is Chitta?

The record regarding land income, known as the Chitta, is kept up to date by the Taluk office and the Village Administrative Officer (VAO). Along with complete information on a piece of property or agricultural land, it contains the name of the person who owns the land. The ownership, dimensions, and total area of the property are all included in this description. Chitta is also used to determine if a certain area of land is a nanjai (wetland) or a punjai (dry land).

What is Patta Chitta?

Following the consolidation of Patta and Chitta documents into a single set in 2015, the state government created an online platform known as the Tamil Nadu Patta Chitta Land Records to provide digitised access to the land records for all residents. This website may be accessed in English and Tamil if that is more convenient for you.

The significance of the Patta

A patta is a legal document that can demonstrate that a person has the rightful title to a certain parcel of land. This document is essential if there is a disagreement over land ownership between the landholder and the government or any third-party landowner. If the government purchases the property, the landowner is entitled to monetary compensation. When selling a property, a vital document called an online Patta Chitta is required. In the case of undeveloped land plots, it lays the groundwork for establishing legal ownership over the property.

• Owner’s name
