Kadambur SRO

About Kadambur Sub-Registrar Office

Kadambur Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) is the official property registration authority serving parts of Thoothukkudi district under the Thirunelveli Registration Zone in Tamil Nadu. This SRO plays a key role in legally recording property transactions such as sale deeds, gift deeds, partitions, leases, and wills, ensuring that ownership transfers and related rights are properly documented.

The Kadambur SRO jurisdiction covers 33 villages and includes a large land record base with approximately 23,227 survey numbers. For buyers, sellers, and landowners, knowing the correct SRO is essential because deeds must be registered in the SRO that has authority over the property’s survey number and village. If your property falls under Kadambur limits, all registration and related services (like Encumbrance Certificate extraction and certified copies) are typically processed through this office or via the TN Registration Department’s online systems.

Documents Required for Registration

Keep the following documents ready to avoid delays during property registration at Kadambur SRO:

• Sale deed / title documents: Drafted sale deed (or relevant deed type) with correct property details, boundaries, and consideration value.
• ID proofs: Aadhaar and PAN are commonly used for identity and tax compliance (carry originals and copies).
• Photographs: Passport-size photos of buyer and seller (and witnesses, if required).
• Encumbrance Certificate (EC): Recent EC to verify prior transactions and check for registered encumbrances.
• Patta copy: Latest Patta/Chitta or relevant revenue record showing ownership and survey details.
• Property tax receipts: Latest paid receipts (as applicable for the property type and local body).
• Previous sale deeds (chain of title): Prior parent documents to establish clear ownership history.

Tip: Ensure survey number, subdivision, village name, and extent match across Patta, EC, and deed draft—mismatches are a common reason for objections.

Registration Process at Kadambur SRO
