Request for Online Patta Transfer System launch report
The Revenue Department, Secretariat, Chennai, issued Letter No.25146/SS-II(2)/2016-2 dated 17 October 2016, asking the Additional Director of Survey and Settlement to provide information and materials for formally launching the Online Patta Transfer System in all 267 taluks.

Purpose of the letter
The Revenue Department, Secretariat, Chennai, issued Letter No.25146/SS-II(2)/2016-2 dated 17 October 2016 as a follow-up to the Budget Speech 2016-2017 and earlier correspondence about the Online Patta Transfer System. It asks the Additional Director of Survey and Settlement to submit a report and supporting materials for a proposed formal launch by the Honourable Chief Minister in all 267 taluks.
The letter is an administrative request for launch preparations. It does not describe the procedure for applying for a patta transfer or state that the online service had already become available in every taluk.
Who is directly affected
Letter No.25146/SS-II(2)/2016-2 is addressed to the Additional Director of Survey and Settlement in the office of the Principal Secretary and Commissioner of Survey and Settlement, Chepauk, Chennai. That official is asked to collect and send the requested launch information to the Revenue Department.
Property buyers, owners and professionals are not given any duty under the letter. They may be indirectly interested because the proposed Online Patta Transfer System concerns the administration of patta transfers across Tamil Nadu.
