A TSLR extract places the current town-survey number beside an older survey reference, while its location includes a town, ward and block. The Madhavaram specimen below shows how to keep those fields apart and read an extent of 94 square metres. Choose a lookup from the identifiers on your document, rather than assuming every city address uses the same register.
Copy the location block with the number
Redacted TSLR specimen: the heading identifies Madhavaram town and ward; the first table columns supply the block and survey fields. The remarks below the table carry the verification reference.
The heading says District: Chennai, Taluk: Madhavaram, Town: Madhavaram, and Ward: 50 Madhavaram (Ward: A). The first row’s block column says Block: 0030 and also contains a locality description. That is more information than the T.S. number alone.
The official e-Services help describes the TSLR extract as an urban land record with town, block, ward, holder and land details. View Patta’s TSLR extract form collects those identifiers. Copy the ward and block as recorded; do not substitute a municipal door number or a nearby plot’s block.
Current and old survey numbers have different columns
Under Survey Number, the specimen has two subcolumns: Sur. Field: 15 and Sub Div.: 7. The next column, O.Sur No and Letter, contains 182/PT. The old survey value is not another spelling of the current subdivision.
When comparing an older deed with this extract, write the two references separately: current town survey 15/7, within its ward and block; old survey 182/PT. If their correspondence is unclear, the Survey and Settlement Department provides a correlation lookup. Have the office clarify a correspondence you cannot establish from the documents.
A subdivision of 0 is also accepted when the source genuinely lists it. It is a separate form behaviour, not a feature of this specimen, whose subdivision is 7. Leaving an optional sketch subdivision blank means the whole survey; it does not mean 0.
Read the area with all three unit columns
The Extent By Town Survey heading contains Hectare, Ares and Sq. Meter. The row reads 0, 0 and 94.0 respectively. Its area is therefore 94 square metres, not 94 ares or 94 hectares.
The table also contains class, soil, taram and rate fields. The separate Rate per Acre/Hectare column shows 3.09 in the rupees subcolumn, and Assessment is split into municipal and government columns. Those are register fields, not a sale price, guideline value or the cost of retrieving the extract. Compare areas only after bringing the units into the same form; hectares and ares explains that conversion.
The Adangal (UDS Details) column is visible, but its personal content is redacted. This sample cannot tell you the holders’ shares. A heading containing UDS is not enough to reconstruct a flat’s undivided share or a legal entitlement.
The signature date and print date are separate
The row’s remarks refer to a field report, and the digital-signature line is dated 18 December 2024. The footer says this copy was printed on 12 October 2026. A later print date does not say the register was freshly amended on that day.
The footer directs verification at Tamil Nadu e-Services using URB/02/15/001/001/0030/15/7. Use the reference on your own copy. The sample’s barcode and names are obscured, so the explanatory image is not a verification substitute.
An incomplete list is different from the wrong block
Town, ward and block lists may not contain every identifier. View Patta offers manual entry for an unlisted ward or block so that a known document reference can still be entered. Do not guess a convenient listed value just to complete the form.
A different refusal can identify where a T.S. number is listed in other blocks of the town. When the result names those ward/block combinations, compare them with your document before changing the selection. That is a specific correction to the lookup context; it is not a finding about ownership.
The extract, sketch and EC answer different questions
The extract shown here supplies a row of register details. The TSLR sketch supplies a separate drawing where available. The EC comes from TNREGINET and covers the registration search you request. None should be treated as a replacement for the other simply because the address is urban.
Compare the extract’s location, current and old references, holder details and extent with the deed. A rural reference that does not match a TSLR search needs tracing; an empty rural lookup does not by itself prove the property is in town survey. See the survey-number guide and record comparison for the fields to keep together. For disputed rights or boundaries, seek the appropriate legal or survey advice before relying on one table.
