Check a patta by its patta number

A patta number names one holder's land account in one village. Pick the village and type the number: the live chitta comes back from the revenue register with the holder and every survey and sub-division under that patta, with its extent and land class, so the patta number alone leads to all the land it covers.

Sign in with your phone to run it. You see the price and approve it before anything runs.

The basics

Patta, chitta and the patta number

The number of a holder's land account in a revenue village. Every survey the holder owns in that village is listed under the same patta number in the chitta and the A-register.

One number covers
Every survey

All the holder's surveys in the village sit under one patta number, so one search lists them all.

Unique within
One village

The same patta number exists in every village, which is why the village is asked first.

Read from
Live register

The chitta is fetched from the revenue department's register at the time you run it.

How it works

How to view a patta using the patta number

  1. 1

    Pick the village

    Choose the district, taluk and village printed on the patta.

  2. 2

    Type the patta number

    The number on the patta or chitta, digits only.

  3. 3

    Read the holdings

    The holder as the register writes them, and each survey under the patta with its extent and land class.

Where it helps

When it helps with land

You hold an old patta

A family patta gives the number, not always every survey. This lists what stands under it today.

Find the survey number

Many owners know the patta number but not the survey. The answer gives every survey to take to the EC or the FMB.

Check a seller

Ask the seller for the patta number, and see whose name the register holds it in before you pay.

Worth knowing

The chitta shows who the register records as holder today, not title. A sale registered but not yet mutated will still show the earlier holder. Read the encumbrance certificate for the deeds behind it.

Questions

Questions people ask

How do I check a patta by patta number in Tamil Nadu?

Pick the district, taluk and village, type the patta number and press Run. The live chitta comes back with the holder and every survey under that patta.

How do I find the survey number from a patta number?

Run this mini with the patta number: every survey and sub-division held under the patta is listed with its extent and land class.

Why is the village needed?

Patta numbers start again in every village, so number 754 exists in thousands of villages. The village picks the right one.

Does it work for town land?

No. Town survey land is kept in the town survey land register by ward, block and survey number. Use the land record mini with the survey number.

When is it charged?

Only when the register returns the patta, and the plain-words reading of it comes with it. A number it does not hold costs nothing. The price is shown beside the Run button.
