What is Patta?

Patta (பட்டா) is a legal document issued by the Revenue Department of Tamil Nadu that serves as proof of land ownership. It contains the name of the owner (Pattadar), survey number, extent of land, and classification.

Patta is essential for:

  • Proving ownership of land
  • Obtaining bank loans against property
  • Applying for building permits
  • Selling or transferring property
  • Government scheme benefits for farmers

What is Chitta?

Chitta (சிட்டா) is a revenue record that contains information about the land from the government's perspective. It shows the land classification, soil type, water source, and tax assessment details.

While Patta is owner-centric, Chitta is land-centric and maintained at the village level.
