Overview
FMB Sketch overview
An FMB Sketch (புலப்படம்), or Field Measurement Book sketch, is a survey drawing for a parcel in Tamil Nadu. It shows the surveyed shape, boundary points, measurements and adjoining references recorded for the field. Owners and buyers use it to compare the government survey with the land on the ground, especially when boundaries or subdivision lines are unclear. An FMB Sketch is a measurement record, not a title deed. viewpatta helps you request the relevant sketch using the location and survey details available for the parcel.

Troubleshooting
Why might the result not appear?
- The survey number or subdivision does not match the village record.
- The selected village is different from the one printed on the document.
- A rural FMB sketch is being requested for an urban town-survey parcel.
- The sketch and the physical boundary require a surveyor to reconcile them on site.
- A whole-village map is expected, but an FMB sketch covers a single survey number.
What this record cannot establish
An FMB sketch is a survey reference showing recorded measurements and boundaries. It does not by itself establish legal title, possession, current occupation or planning permission.

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 FMB sketch?
An FMB sketch is a Field Measurement Book drawing that shows the surveyed shape, measurements, boundary points and adjoining references of a parcel.
Can I view an FMB sketch online in Tamil Nadu?
Yes. Enter the district, taluk, village, survey number and subdivision printed on the land document, and viewpatta checks whether the drawing can be prepared.
The check is free. A price is quoted only once a complete sketch is in hand, so a survey number with no sketch on file costs nothing.
Is an FMB sketch proof of ownership?
No. It is a survey and measurement record. Ownership and title must be checked against the registered deed and relevant revenue records.
What is the difference between an FMB sketch and a TSLR sketch?
An FMB sketch generally relates to rural field measurements, while a TSLR sketch relates to an urban town-survey parcel.
Is an FMB sketch a village map or Bhu Naksha?
No. An FMB sketch is a parcel-level drawing for one survey number and its subdivisions. A whole-village map is a different record and is not what a field measurement search returns.
Can I download an FMB sketch as a PDF?
Yes. When the sketch can be prepared for the survey details you enter, viewpatta shows the availability first and delivers the FMB sketch as a PDF download.
