The term “Land Records” is broad and can be used to describe a number of documents, such as the deed register, records of rights (RoRs), registers for tenancies and crop inspections, registers for mutations, registers for disputed cases, etc.
Management is aided by land records.
It aids in estimating revenue.
Land serves as a major revenue source for the government.
Given that it serves as the foundation for all activities, the value of land is undeniable.
In Tamil Nadu, the patta—a land revenue record—establishes the title and ownership of land.
The Patta Register, which is kept at the Taluk office, contains information on who owns each piece of land.
The Patta contains entries describing who owns what land and how much of it.
For village properties, patta is always issued in hectares or acres.
The ownership information for the land that belongs to a person or persons is provided in the Chitta, an extract from the Patta register.
The specific data in a patta/Chitta extract includes the village, taluk, district, father’s name of the landowner, patta number, survey number, and information on the subdivision.
