Farm Land, Padappai
S.No. 148/1, 148/2 and 146/2, Padappai Village, Kundrathur Taluk, Kancheepuram District, Tamil Nadu
The patta and the encumbrance certificate were read, and nothing was found that must be resolved before buying. Anything still to confirm is listed below.
The report covers three adjoining survey numbers in Padappai, Kundrathur taluk, 24 ares (25,833 sq ft) in all, held by three people. The Revenue Department patta records 148/1 as 9 ares of dry land in the name of Rajesh Kumar, son of Shanmugam (patta 541), 148/2 as 5.5 ares of dry land in the name of Venkatesan, son of Ramasamy (patta 1614), and 146/2 as 9.5 ares of wet land in the name of Anbazhagan, son of Kannan (patta 6833). The joint encumbrance certificate for 01-Jan-1975 to 01-Oct-2026 holds 11 entries from 1992 to 2025, and each patta holder is the latest transferee of their survey on it; the one charge, a 2020 deposit of title deeds with Indian Bank over 148/1, was released in 2024. The three FMB sketches join into one measured sheet.

Three owners on three pattas Record
The three surveys are held separately: 148/1 by Rajesh Kumar (patta 541), 148/2 by Venkatesan (patta 1614) and 146/2 by Anbazhagan (patta 6833). Each owner has to convey their own survey, by separate deeds or as parties to one.

146/2 is wet land Record
The register classes 146/2 as wet (nanjai) land. Building on it in this non-planning area needs change of land use permission under the Tamil Nadu Change of Land Use (from Agriculture to Non-Agriculture purposes in Non-Planning Areas) Rules, 2017, for which the Director of Town and Country Planning first obtains the Collector's concurrence for wet land (Rule 5).

Survey No: 148/1, 148/2 and 146/2 (old S.No. 148 and 146) | 01-Jan-1975 - 01-Oct-2026 (51 Years)
EC covers 51 years with 11 transaction(s) found, read at Tambaram Joint 1 for 01-Jan-1975 to 19-Dec-1993 (the office that registered Padappai village until then) and at Padappai from 20-Dec-1993. The deeds before the 2017 sub-division recite S.No. 148 and S.No. 146 without a sub-division: 9 ares in 148 (now 148/1), 5.5 ares in 148 (now 148/2) and 9.5 ares in 146 (now 146/2); from 2019 they recite the sub-divisions. The 2020 deposit of title deeds with Indian Bank over 148/1 was discharged by the Deed of Receipt 812/2024, and no charge is open on any of the three surveys.

Mortgage & Release Deeds
Rajesh Kumar S deposited the title deeds with Indian Bank, Padappai Branch, for a loan of Rs. 25,00,000 in 2020, and the bank's Deed of Receipt of 2024 discharges it. Nothing is owed on the property.
Revenue Records
Three pattas, one per survey: 541 for 148/1 (Rajesh Kumar S, 9 ares, dry), 1614 for 148/2 (Venkatesan R, 5.5 ares, dry) and 6833 for 146/2 (Anbazhagan K, 9.5 ares, wet), all ryotwari land in Padappai village. The joint encumbrance certificate covers 51 years (1975-2026) with 11 entries across the three surveys, and the one mortgage in them (2020, over 148/1) was released in 2024.
Tax Receipts
The latest land revenue (kist) receipt for patta 541. The land is vacant dry land, and a village panchayat levies house tax on houses only (Tamil Nadu Panchayats Act, 1994, section 172), so there is no property tax or water assessment to check.

Seller Background Check
Items FoundA background check on the person or company selling, across the open web (enforcement action, regulator orders, insolvency, defaults, sanctions, serious press), the national court and tribunal index by name, the RERA and CMDA registers and what is reported about the area, following the leads it finds. Every finding carries its source, a date and an identity-match confidence; a name match is not proof of identity, and nothing found is not a clean chit. Optional, 6 credits, run by the owner from this row. The findings in this demo are illustrative.
Nothing serious was found under this name. Two mentions may concern the seller: a boundary dispute over an adjoining plot in 2019, since settled, and a residents' association listing. The court index holds one open case that could not be ruled out as his; eleven other name matches sit in other districts and two name a different father, so they were set aside.
1 pending case not yet ruled out in the Tamil Nadu index. 13 namesake cases set aside, each for a stated reason.
Lis Pendens
Not Yet CheckedLis Pendens is a notice filed in court indicating a pending lawsuit that directly affects the property title. A buyer who purchases property with lis pendens takes it subject to the outcome of the litigation.
Why: Lis pendens check requires SRO visit. Not yet automated.

Manual Verifications Required
- Read the plaint in O.S. No. 214/2023 with a property advocate
- Confirm the 148/1, 148/2 and 146/2 divisions with the Tahsildar, Kundrathur
- Change of land use for 146/2 (wet land)
- Site inspection for access and boundaries
Before Purchase
Have all three owners convey: Rajesh Kumar S for 148/1, Venkatesan R for 148/2 and Anbazhagan K for 146/2
Each survey stands on its own patta in its own owner's name, so a deed by one owner conveys only that owner's survey.
Apply for change of land use before planning a building on S.No. 146/2
The register classes 146/2 as wet (nanjai) land. In this non-planning area the Director of Town and Country Planning needs the Collector's concurrence for wet land (Change of Land Use Rules, 2017, Rule 5).
Get the plaint and the latest order in O.S. No. 214/2023 on the file of the Principal Sub Court, Kancheepuram, filed by Meena K (daughter of Kandasamy R) against Lakshmi Devi K, Sundaram K and Murugan P
The suit is pending and questions transfers in the chain of title. The present owner is not a defendant, so read the plaint schedule to see whether it covers this land and what relief is sought.
Confirm with the Tahsildar, Kundrathur, from the sub-division records, that the 9 ares and the 5.5 ares the deeds before 2017 recite in S.No. 148 are the land now numbered 148/1 and 148/2, and the 9.5 ares in S.No. 146 the land now 146/2
The older deeds describe the land only by the undivided surveys. The sub-division record shows which part of each survey each holding became.
Confirm at the Tambaram Joint 1 SRO, where the 1992 sale deed was registered, that the deficit duty fixed on its Section 47-A reference was paid, and obtain the Collector's order
An unpaid deficit is recoverable under the Indian Stamp Act and should be cleared, with the order on file, before the deed is relied on in the title chain.
Read the gazette notice that names other survey numbers of Padappai, and confirm with the land acquisition officer that S.No. 148/1, 148/2 and 146/2 are outside it
No acquisition notice we hold names any of the three, but one names other surveys in the same village.
Confirm on site how the land is reached and whether the access is a recorded right
The FMB sketches name a survey number on every side of the block except the east side of 148/2, and show no road or cart track.
Get the boundaries of all three surveys demarcated by a licensed surveyor from their FMB sketches
The sketches print 9, 5.5 and 9.5 ares, 24 ares in all, and join into one block; the land on the ground should match them before the price is paid.
Include in Purchase Deed
- Describe the property in three schedule items, as on the pattas: S.No. 148/1 (old S.No. 148), 9 ares, patta 541; S.No. 148/2 (old S.No. 148), 5.5 ares, patta 1614; and S.No. 146/2, 9.5 ares, patta 6833; 24 ares (0.24.00 hectare, 25,833 sq.ft) in all, Padappai village, Kundrathur taluk, Kancheepuram district
- Boundaries of the block as on the FMB sketches: North S.No. 146/1, 146/5 and 146/6A; East S.No. 146/6A, and on 148/2 a side its sketch does not name; South S.No. 152; West S.No. 149 and 145
- Recite each title: for 148/1 from Sale Deed 2341/1992 to Sale Deed 4521/2019 and the release of the 2020 deposit of title deeds by Receipt 812/2024; for 148/2 Sale Deed 2967/1996 and Settlement Deed 1563/2005; for 146/2 Sale Deed 806/1999, Settlement Deed 1563/2005 and Sale Deed 1876/2025
- Stamp duty (7%) and registration fee (2%) are charged on the market value, the higher of the price and the guideline value of Rs 227.27 per sq.ft (revision of 01-07-2024, the same for all three surveys), which is Rs 58,71,066 for 25,833 sq.ft. On the guideline value alone that is Rs 4,10,975 stamp duty and Rs 1,17,421 registration fee.
Further Review Required
The land is three adjoining surveys held by three owners: 148/1 by Rajesh Kumar S, 148/2 by Venkatesan R and 146/2 by Anbazhagan K. Each title runs unbroken by registered deeds to its present owner, each patta stands in that owner's name, and no charge is open. Before an advance: all three owners must convey; 146/2 is wet land, so a building on it needs change of land use; the first owner's daughter has a pending suit against earlier owners of 148/1; the 1992 deed of 148/1 carries a Section 47-A reference; and the deeds before 2017 describe the land only by the undivided surveys 148 and 146.
