Old survey number to new

The pre-resurvey number your deed cites, turned into the parcel it is today in any town or village, with the owner and extent the register records.

Free to run. Sign in once and use it as often as you need.

What we need

One thing at a time. Fill it in and press Run.

As the deed prints it: 59/1, 59/1PT, R.S. 59/1. Part markers and prefixes are handled.

Pick the register, then the district, taluk and place. An old survey number means nothing outside the town or village it was given in, and several places share a name.

No credits are used.

The answer

From the register, with its date and source.

Nothing run yet. The answer appears here with everything this mini adds:

  • One old number often became several parcels: every one is listed, not just the first
  • A register field holding several old numbers is split, so 59/1 is found inside "59/10PT,56/1PT,59/1PT"
  • The owner, extent and street come from the same register entry, so nothing is inferred

How this works

What it reads, what it needs, and how to read the answer.

What it does

Town survey replaced the older survey numbering in urban Tamil Nadu, so a deed written before it cites a number no current record shows. The town survey register prints the old number on every extract, which is what this reads.

What you give it

The old survey number as printed, and the town or village it was given in, picked from the register so the right place is searched.

What it adds beyond the portal
  • One old number often became several parcels: every one is listed, not just the first
  • A register field holding several old numbers is split, so 59/1 is found inside "59/10PT,56/1PT,59/1PT"

What it costs
Free every run

Run it as often as you need. Nothing is deducted.

How to read the result

Each result is a current parcel: ward, block, TS number and sub-division, with the old numbers its own entry carries. Several parcels for one old number is normal, because one old survey was usually split.

Where the data comes from

The town survey land register (TSLR) old survey number field, held offline. Urban parcels only.

Questions people ask

Short answers, no jargon.

My deed says R.S. 59/1 and nothing is found.

Try without the town to search wider, and check the town spelling. About 7% of urban parcels have no old number printed in the register at all, and rural land is not covered by town survey.

Why do I get five parcels for one old number?

Because that old survey was divided. Each current parcel is a separate holding with its own owner, and each one lists the same old number.

Does a part marker matter?

No. 59/1PT, 59/1pt and 59/1 are treated as the same number, which is how the register itself writes them.

Still unsure? Ask LandLens One, it can reason about this parcel with you.
