What is Patta Chitta?

Patta Chitta is the most important land record in Tamil Nadu. It proves who owns a piece of land and gives its details. Let us understand the two parts:

• Patta: This is the ownership document, issued by the government in the name of the actual landowner. It shows the owner’s name, survey number, land area, and land type (wet or dry).
• Chitta: This is the land revenue record. It shows the classification of the land whether it is Nanjai (wetland) or Punjai (dryland) — and other revenue details.

In 2026, Patta and Chitta were combined into a single digital “Patta Chitta” record, making it much easier to view and verify online.

You need Patta Chitta to:

• Prove you own the land
• Buy or sell property
• Apply for a bank loan against land
• Get building approvals
• Complete land registration and mutation
• Avoid and settle land disputes

Always complete the mutation after buying land otherwise the record still shows the old owner’s name, which causes problems later.
