Overview
A-Register Extract overview
An A-Register Extract (அ-பதிவேடு) is the village land register maintained for revenue administration in Tamil Nadu. Its columns follow the register’s official layout: survey and subdivision number, old survey number, government or ryotwari status, land type, soil and irrigation details, extent, assessment, Patta number and owner names. It is useful when a Patta Chitta entry needs to be compared with the village register or when a land classification question needs more context. An A-Register Extract is an administrative record and does not itself transfer title. viewpatta helps you request the extract for the selected location and survey reference.

Questions
Before you start.
Including the two most people ask: whether we are the government, and what happens if the record is not there.
What is an A-Register extract?
An A-Register extract is a village-level Tamil Nadu revenue record that can show survey details, holder information, land classification, extent and assessment.
How do I view an A-Register extract online?
Choose the district, taluk and village, then enter the survey number and subdivision. viewpatta asks the village register, usually under 30 seconds, and shows you what came back. A price is quoted only once a complete extract is in hand, so an entry that is not found costs nothing.
What is an A-Register used for?
It is used to compare village revenue details, review land classification and understand assessment information for a survey parcel.
Is an A-Register extract a title deed?
No. It is an administrative revenue record and does not itself transfer ownership or establish legal title.
Why does my A-Register differ from Patta Chitta?
Records may reflect different update dates, fields or administrative sources. Compare the identifiers and reconcile the difference with the responsible revenue office or a property professional.
What details does an A-Register extract contain?
The register follows a fixed column layout: survey and subdivision number, old survey number, government or ryotwari status, land type, soil and irrigation, extent, assessment, Patta number, owner names and remarks.
What does a government or poramboke entry mean?
It means the register records the parcel as government land rather than a private ryotwari holding. Treat it as a stop condition: verify the classification with the revenue office before relying on any private claim to the land.
