Kalugumalai SRO

About Kalugumalai Sub-Registrar Office

Kalugumalai Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) is a key property registration authority for residents and landowners in and around Kalugumalai, functioning under the Tenkasi District administration and mapped to the Thirunelveli Zone for registration operations. This SRO plays an important role in legally recording property transactions, ensuring title transfer is recognized by the Government of Tamil Nadu, and enabling buyers to secure bank loans, patta transfer, and future resale without documentation gaps.

The Kalugumalai SRO has jurisdiction over 25 villages and covers a large revenue footprint with a total of 12,426 survey numbers. For buyers, sellers, and legal heirs, knowing the correct SRO matters because registration must be completed in the SRO that has jurisdiction over the property’s survey number and village limits. Before preparing documents, confirm that your property falls within Kalugumalai SRO limits using the village/survey details and the TN registration portal references.
