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. View Patta helps you request the relevant sketch using the location and survey details available for the parcel.
Record guide
What do the terms mean?
- FMB
- Field Measurement Book, the survey record used to represent parcel measurements and boundaries.
- Survey number
- The identifier assigned to a parcel in the village survey records. Find the number in your document.
- Subdivision
- A smaller part of a survey number. Illustrative example: 123/1 means survey 123, subdivision 1. Match the village too.
- Boundary reference
- A boundary point, measured edge or adjoining reference shown on the sketch. A line measurement describes that edge, not the total area. Read the sketch step by step.
- Scale and orientation
- Read the printed scale, units and north arrow before comparing the drawing with another record. Screen size changes the drawing, not its recorded measurements.
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.
Verification checklist
How to use this record
- Match the district, taluk, village and survey number; confirm whether you requested the whole survey or one subdivision.
- Compare the sketch shape, measurements and adjoining references with the site.
- Check whether the record is rural FMB or an urban TSLR sketch.
- Ask a licensed surveyor to resolve material boundary differences before a transaction.

What details should you keep ready?
Keep the district, taluk, village and survey number from your land document ready. Subdivision is optional: choose one for that part of the survey, or leave it blank for the whole survey. Each scope is checked separately; neither guarantees a drawing is available.

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 and survey number printed on the land document. Choose a subdivision for that part, or leave the optional field blank for the whole survey. View Patta checks the scope you selected.
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.
What if the whole-survey sketch is unavailable?
A missing whole-survey drawing does not tell you whether a subdivision drawing is available. You can check a subdivision from your document separately. The same applies in reverse: a missing subdivision drawing does not establish that the whole-survey drawing is missing.
Neither alternative is promised. You are charged only when the complete sketch for your selected scope can be prepared.
How do I read the sketch measurements?
Illustrative example: a sketch labelled 123/1 identifies survey 123 and subdivision 1. Start by matching those identifiers and the village with your document.
A value printed along a line describes that line between its boundary points. Read its units and the sketch scale; do not treat a line length as the parcel area. Use the north arrow to orient the adjoining references.
The sample above shows where these labels appear. It illustrates the layout and is not a record for your land.
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, View Patta shows the availability first and delivers the FMB sketch as a PDF download.
Is View Patta a government website?
No. View Patta is a private service operated by Quiro Tech Solutions, Chennai. We are not affiliated with any government body. Revenue-record services are available through Tamil Nadu e-Services; Encumbrance Certificates are registration records available through TNREGINET. View Patta provides separate assistance with finding and requesting these records.
What happens if you cannot find my record?
No record, no charge. Your money stays yours.
For a single record we look first and only ask for payment once we hold a complete, readable record for your survey number. If the portal has no record, returns something incomplete, or does not respond, you see exactly what happened and you are not charged.
A village report is paid for first, because it is compiled after you order. If it cannot be compiled, the payment is refunded in full, automatically.
