What is Patta Chitta – How to Apply Online, Check the status & Validity

What is a Patta?


When land is bought, a Patta is registered by the government of India. A Patta is a legal document authorized by the government of Tamil Nadu. Patta is registered in the name of the landowner. A Patta is also referred to as the Record of Rights(ROR). 

An owner has to hold a Patta if he or she wants to buy land for any purpose. From building societies to shops to anything, a Patta ensures that the property was purchased according to the legal norms of the Tamil Nadu government. A Patta can be obtained from the tahsildar officer of the district. It consists of details such as Patta number, name of all the owners, survey number, tax details, area of land, and the address. 

A Chitta is also an official document used in transactions or land deals. It is obtained from a local taluka or village administration office. Chitta contains details such as ownership, area of the land. A Chitta classifies the property into two categories. The first is Punjai, which is dry land, and the other is Nanjai, which means a wetland. A Punjai is low on water resources, while Nanjai has an excess of water. 

Tamil Nadu government decided to merge Patta and Chitta into a single official document called Patta Chitta. A patta can be obtained from the Tahsildar’s office of the particular district. A patta consists of the following details:

  • Name of the District, Taluk and Village
  • Patta Number
  • Name of the owner
  • Survey number and subdivision
  • Is it a Wetland or a Dry land (Nanjai Nilam and Punjai Nilam in Tamil)
  • Area of the land and Tax details
