The schedule identifies the land as follows:

- Taluk: Cheyyar.

- Village: Parithipuram.
- Classification: Pattai Theru.

How can I check whether my property is covered?
Check whether the property is in Parithipuram Village, Ward B, Block 20, Town Survey Number 57, particularly subdivisions 57/2 to 57/16. The schedule's boundary survey references should also be compared with the property's records.
