When dealing with land transactions in Tamil Nadu, you may come across two key terms — Patta and Chitta. These documents are essential for establishing legal ownership, applying for loans, paying land taxes, and verifying property details. With land records now digitised, citizens can conveniently access Patta Chitta online through the official Tamil Nadu e-Services portal. 

In this article, we explore what Patta Chitta means, its relevance for property owners, and how to apply for it online easily.  

 What is Patta Chitta?  

Patta is a government-issued legal document that proves ownership of land. It is issued by the Tamil Nadu Revenue Department and contains key details such as the landowner’s name, survey number, classification of land (wet or dry), and area of the plot. 

Chitta was traditionally maintained by the Village Administrative Officer and detailed the revenue and classification status of land. However, since 2015, Patta and Chitta have been merged into a single document, now referred to simply as Patta. This unified format allows property owners to access all relevant land details from one document. 

 Key Details Found in a Patta Document 

You will find the following details in Patta:  

  • District, taluk, and village name 
  • Patta number 
  • Landowner’s name 
  • Survey and subdivision numbers 
  • Land classification 
  • Land area and tax information 

 How to Apply for Patta Chitta Online?  

The Tamil Nadu government offers a convenient way to apply for Patta Chitta through its official portal. Here is a step-by-step guide: 

  1. Visit the Tamil Nadu e-Services portal. 
  2. Click on ‘View Patta & FMB/Chitta/TSLR Extract’ under the ‘View Patta Copy/A-Register Extract’ section. 
  3. Choose your district from the dropdown, select ‘Urban’ or ‘Rural’, and click ‘Submit’. 
  4. Choose your taluk and village. Select either the Patta Number or Survey Number option. Enter the chosen number along with the Subdivision Number, if applicable. 
  5. Enter the CAPTCHA shown on the screen and click ‘Submit’. 

The portal will generate a certificate containing details such as survey number, classification, construction type, locality, and more.

Proof of Identity 

  • Aadhaar Card  
  • Voter ID Card  
  • Driving Licence  

Proof of Residence

  2. Enter your application ID and the CAPTCHA code. 
  3. Click ‘Get Status’ to view the latest update. 

 How to Verify Patta Certificate Validity?  

You can validate or verify the authenticity of your Patta certificate using the reference number provided during issuance. This can be done directly on the Tamil Nadu e-Services platform under the certificate validation section. 

 Why Patta Chitta is Important?  

Whether you are purchasing land, applying for a loan, or resolving a dispute, having accurate land records is essential. Here is why the Patta Chitta document holds significance: 

  • Proof of Ownership: Required for legal transactions and property transfer  
  • Loan Applications: Essential for applying for a Home Loan or Loan Against Property 
  • Dispute Resolution: Useful in settling land disputes and verifying ownership  
  • Tax Assessment: Helps the revenue department assess and collect land tax  

The digitisation of Patta Chitta has simplified land record access for residents of Tamil Nadu. Whether you are purchasing land, applying for a Home Loan, or simply validating ownership, understanding how to apply online for Patta ensures your documents are in order and legally recognised.
