Land Classifications in Puthalam

The land in Puthalam is classified into various categories, which significantly influence the guideline values. Here are the different land classifications:

• Wet Land (Nanjai): This type of land is irrigated and has an assured water source, making it ideal for agricultural activities.
• Dry Land (Punjai): Rain-fed agricultural land, which relies on monsoon for water, typically has lower values compared to wet land.
• Garden Land: This category includes orchards and lands planted with plantation crops, generally fetching moderate to high values.
• Commercial: Designated for business activities, this land classification tends to have the highest guideline values due to its potential for revenue generation.
• Residential: Land used for housing and dwellings, often evaluated based on proximity to amenities.
• Industrial: Reserved for manufacturing and industrial use, these lands also carry significant value due to their commercial viability.

Each classification impacts the guideline value, with wet and commercial lands typically commanding higher prices than dry or residential lands.

Understanding Survey Numbers

The survey number system in Tamil Nadu is essential for identifying and verifying land parcels. Here’s how it works:

• Assignment: Survey numbers are assigned by the Revenue Department, helping in the identification of specific land areas.
• Main Survey vs Subdivisions: Main survey numbers are whole numbers (e.g., 1), while subdivisions are indicated with fractions (e.g., 1/1, 1/2).
• Finding Your Survey Number: You can locate your survey number on your patta (land title deed) by checking the details mentioned.
• Verifying Boundaries: To verify survey boundaries, you can refer to the Field Measurement Book (FMB) available at local revenue offices.
