States are currently under the process of making their land records digital for reaching the goal of Digital India Programme. States have made their land records available online. The land records can be viewed and even apply online. There is digitisation of land records by the states. The land records of Tamil Nadu i.e., Patta Chitta documents are also available online through their official e-Services website.
Patta is a legal document issued by the Tamil Nadu government in the name of the actual owner of the property. A patta can be obtained from the Tahsildar’s office of the particular district.
A patta consists of the following details:
It is a land revenue document maintained by the Village Administrative Officer (VAO) and the Taluk office. A chitta provides the relevant detail of the ownership, area, size, .etc of the land. Most importantly it classifies the land into nanjai (wetland) and punjai (dry land).
As of 2015, the government of Tamil Nadu does not issue a Chitta. The Patta and Chitta were merged into one document with all the relevant details mentioned in the Patta.
After the Patta and Chitta got merged into one, the Tamil Nadu government has now made the process of filing Patta Chitta online. You can follow these steps:
Step 1: Log on to the Tamil Nadu Patta Chitta website, the website is available in two languages – English & Tamil.
Step 2: Select the ‘View Patta & FMB / Chitta / TSLR Extract’ under the head ‘View Patta Copy/A-Register Extract’.
Step 3: Select the District from the drop-down menu. Select the ‘Urban’ or ‘Rural’ option in the ‘Area Type’. Click on the ‘Submit’ button.
Step 4: Select the ‘Taluk’ and ‘Village’ from the drop-down box. Select the option ‘Patta Number’ or ‘Survey Number’ in the ‘View Patta/Chitta using’ bar. Enter the ‘Survey Number’ and ‘Sub Division Number’ if the ‘Survey Number’ option is selected in the ‘View Patta/Chitta using’ bar. If ‘Patta Number’ is selected in the ‘View Patta/Chitta using’ bar, enter the ‘Patta Number’. Enter the ‘Enter authentication value’ and click the ‘Submit’ button.
Step 5: Upon submission of the property details, a certificate from the Town Survey Land Register will be issued online with details of the property. The certificate will contain details such as the type of construction on the property, the municipal door number, locality, type of land, survey number etc.
The status of Patta Chitta can be checked online by following these steps:

Step 2: Enter the ‘Application ID’ and the ‘Enter Captcha Values’ and click the ‘Get Status’ button.
Step 3: The status of your Patta Chitta will be reflected.
The validity of the issued certificates can be checked online here. All you need to do is add your reference number. You can validate/verify your Patta Certificate by following these steps:

Yes. The Tamil Nadu government merged the Patta and Chitta into one document known as ‘Patta Chitta’ in 2015. Now, the Patta Chitta contains all the relevant details regarding the land.
Patta Chitta can be checked online by logging into the Tamil Nadu Government official website of land records. Patta Chitta can be viewed and verified on this website.
Patta transfer status can be checked by logging in to the e-District website. By entering the Application ID and the Captcha Value, you can view the status of your Patta application.
There is no online process for changing the name in Patta yet. It has to be done offline by visiting your respective Taluk or Village Administration Office and submitting the filled Patta Transfer Form along with necessary documents. The new Patta is usually issued within 15 to 20 days along with the changes.
Patta is the legal document that a person owns the land. If Patta is registered in someone’s name, it means that he/she is the legal landholder of the area. The Tamil Nadu government is thinking about making Patta legal for land registration to increase the security of the process and prevent scams. However, currently, properties or lands in Tamil Nadu can be registered by furnishing either with the Patta document or the parent documents of the land.
