Understanding Property Ownership in Tamil Nadu

What is Property Ownership Verification?

Property ownership verification is the process of confirming the legal owner of a piece of land or property. In Tamil Nadu, ownership details are maintained by the Revenue Department and include information about the current owner(s), their relationship details, and the history of ownership transfers.

Importance of Ownership Verification

• Legal Due Diligence: Essential before purchasing property to ensure you're dealing with the rightful owner.
• Preventing Fraud: Helps identify fraudulent transactions and protects against property scams.
• Clear Title: Confirms that the property has a clear title without disputes or encumbrances.
• Investment Security: Provides confidence in your real estate investment by verifying legitimate ownership.
• Legal Documentation: Required for obtaining loans, property registration, and other legal procedures.

Types of Property Ownership

In Tamil Nadu, property ownership can be classified into several types:

• Rayathuvari (Ryotwari): Individual ownership where the owner pays revenue directly to the government.
• Inam: Land granted by the government for specific purposes, often with special conditions.
• Poramboke: Government land that cannot be sold or owned by individuals.
• Joint Ownership: Property owned by multiple individuals with defined shares.
