Overview
Chennai Property Tax Receipt overview
A Chennai Property Tax Receipt (சென்னை சொத்து வரி ரசீது) is a receipt for property tax paid to Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC), as GCC issued it. It covers property within Greater Chennai Corporation only: receipts from other Tamil Nadu municipalities and corporations are the Municipal Property Tax Receipt, and village panchayat receipts are separate records. You need one thing, the GCC property id on the owner’s property tax bill, in the form zone, division, bill number and sub number, such as 06-061-00123-000. Because GCC’s portal lists the owner’s name and address, you sign in before any receipt is shown. You then pick one or more receipts, up to 50 in one order, and a second order covers any more. The price is per receipt, with a ceiling per order, and it is shown before you pay. View Patta delivers one PDF: each receipt exactly as GCC issued it, newest first and unaltered, then a closing page. A tax receipt shows that tax was paid. It does not establish ownership or title.
Record guide
What do the terms mean?
- Property id
- The number on the owner’s Greater Chennai Corporation tax bill, in the form zone, division, bill number and sub number. It is the only thing this record asks for.
- Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC)
- The corporation that levies property tax in Chennai and issues these receipts. View Patta reads its portal when you order and is not affiliated with it.
- Financial year
- The year the payment was made for, as GCC prints it on each receipt. The picker lists it beside each receipt.
- Receipt
- One payment of the tax, issued by GCC. You pick the receipts you want, and each arrives exactly as issued.
Troubleshooting
Why might the result not appear?
- The property id is entered with a letter or the wrong number of digits. It is 13 digits: zone, division, bill number and sub number.
- GCC has no property with that id. Check it against the tax bill: no match is not a statement that the property does not exist.
- The property is outside Greater Chennai Corporation. Receipts from other municipalities and corporations are the Municipal Property Tax Receipt.
- GCC’s portal does not respond. Nothing is charged, so try again later.
- A receipt you picked is no longer listed when the order is placed. Nothing is charged and nothing partial is delivered, so search the property id again and pick from what it lists now.
- The receipts are expected to show who owns the property. They show that tax was paid, and do not establish ownership or title.
What this record cannot establish
A tax receipt shows that tax was paid on a property. It does not establish ownership or title, and the closing page of your PDF says the same. The receipts are Greater Chennai Corporation’s own, as issued. For the recorded holder of a town property, see the TSLR extract.
Verification checklist
How to use this record

- Pick the receipts you need, up to 50 in one order, and pay once the price is shown.
- Open the PDF and read each receipt as GCC issued it, newest first.
- Treat the receipts as evidence that tax was paid, and nothing more: they do not establish ownership or title.
Search help
What details should you keep ready?

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 happens if you cannot find my record?
No receipts, no charge. Your money stays yours.
If GCC has no property with the id you entered, you are told so and nothing is charged. That is GCC’s answer about the id, not a statement that the property does not exist, so check the id against the owner’s tax bill.
If GCC’s portal does not respond, or a receipt you picked is no longer listed when the order is placed, the order ends, nothing is charged and nothing partial is delivered. You can search again.
Where do I find the property id?
It is on the owner’s Greater Chennai Corporation property tax bill and on earlier receipts: 13 digits in the form zone, division, bill number and sub number, such as 06-061-00123-000. You can type it with or without the dashes.
Why do I have to sign in before I see the receipts?
GCC’s portal lists the owner’s name and address with the receipts, so View Patta asks you to sign in before it shows them. You confirm your mobile number with a one-time password, and the receipts for that property id are then listed for you to pick.
Does a property tax receipt prove who owns the property?
No. A tax receipt shows that tax was paid on a property. It does not establish ownership or title, and the closing page of your PDF says so. The receipts are Greater Chennai Corporation’s own, as issued.
How many receipts can one order hold?
You pick one or more receipts, up to 50 in one order. A second order covers any more. The price is per receipt, with a ceiling per order, and it is shown before you pay.
Does this cover other Tamil Nadu towns?
No. It covers Greater Chennai Corporation only. Receipts from every other Tamil Nadu municipality and corporation are the Municipal Property Tax Receipt, and village panchayat receipts are separate records.
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.
