About Keeramangalam Sub-Registrar Office

Keeramangalam Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) is an important property registration office in Pudukkottai district, functioning under the Tanjore Zone of the Tamil Nadu Registration Department. This SRO handles registration and related public services for a largely rural and semi-urban belt where land parcels are identified by village and survey number.

The Keeramangalam SRO has jurisdiction over 28 villages and covers a total of 16,121 survey numbers. For buyers, sellers, and legal heirs, this means most property transactions—sale, gift, partition, lease, and will-related registrations—must be completed here when the property falls within its notified limits. Knowing your village name and correct survey number(s) is critical, as guideline value checks, EC searches, and document indexing are all mapped to these identifiers.

Documents Required for Registration

Carry original documents along with photocopies. Missing links in ownership or tax records can delay registration, so keep the following ready:

• Sale deed / title documents: Draft sale deed (or relevant deed) and supporting title papers.
• ID proofs: Aadhaar and PAN for buyer and seller (and witnesses, if required).
• Photographs: Passport-size photos of buyer and seller (as per SRO requirement).
• Encumbrance Certificate (EC): Latest EC to confirm transactions/charges on the property.
• Patta copy: Current patta/UDR patta or relevant revenue record.
• Property tax receipts: Latest paid receipts (for house/plot where applicable).
• Previous sale deeds (chain of title): Prior parent documents establishing ownership continuity.
