The sixteen fields on the sample
The redacted government extract on the A-register record page has sixteen numbered fields. Its heading identifies the district, taluk and revenue village; the numbered rows then separate the parcel reference, tenure, classification, soil, extent and assessment. Reading those labels separately avoids treating a land-type entry as an answer to every question about the parcel. See the redacted A-register sample
- 1–4: survey number, subdivision, old survey/subdivision reference and part.
- 5–8: Government / Ryotwari, land type, irrigation source and double-crop entry.
- 9–10: soil description and soil class.
- 11–13: assessment per hectare, extent in hectares–ares and total assessment.
- 14–16: patta number, remarks and the name field, blurred in the sample.
Compare the old reference and the patta
The sample’s current subdivision differs from its old survey/subdivision reference. Keep the labels with those values when comparing an older deed with a current lookup. The patta number also matches the patta sample on this site, and both record an extent of 0–2.22 hectares–ares. That is a comparison between these two specimens; a missing or different reference on another property needs its own check. Find the number on your documents
Read the classification and assessment separately
The specimen records Ryotwari in field 5 and நன்செய் (wet land) in field 6. Soil description and soil class have their own rows, as do assessment per hectare and total assessment. Those are different recorded attributes. The footer names eservices.tn.gov.in as the place to verify the extract. View Patta’s A-register lookup asks for a subdivision; copy it as printed, including letters or an explicit 0. Read the land-classification fields
What it does not prove
An A-Register extract is an administrative revenue record. It does not by itself establish legal title, possession, exact physical boundaries or planning permission.
