About Pudur Sub-Registrar Office

Pudur Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) is the local property registration authority for specific revenue villages in Thoothukkudi district, functioning under the Thirunelveli zone of the Registration Department, Government of Tamil Nadu. This SRO plays a key role for home buyers, land buyers, sellers, and legal heirs who need legally valid registration of property documents.

The jurisdiction of Pudur SRO covers 29 villages and includes a large database of 13,319 survey numbers. If your property falls within these villages/survey fields, registrations like sale deed, gift, partition, lease, and certain related services are typically handled here. Before you proceed, confirm the exact village and survey number mapping through the TN Registration portal (TNREGINET) or by checking with the office to avoid filing in the wrong SRO.
