Overview
Patta Chitta overview
Patta Chitta (பட்டா சிட்டா) is the combined Tamil Nadu land record used to check the recognised holder, survey number, land extent and classification. Patta (பட்டா) identifies the holder and extent of a parcel. Chitta (சிட்டா) records whether the land is nanjai (நன்செய், wet) or punjai (புன்செய், dry). The Tamil Nadu e-Services portal issues these details together for a survey number. View Patta helps you locate the record and prepares the complete extract before requesting payment. You can view and download the PDF after successful payment. A Patta Chitta is an important land record, but it is not a registered sale deed and does not by itself transfer ownership.
Record guide
What do the terms mean?
- Patta
- The revenue record for the person or persons recorded against a parcel.
- Chitta
- Land classification details such as wet, dry, natham or house-site where available.
- Survey number
- The land-parcel identifier used for village revenue records.
- Subdivision
- The split or sub-part of a survey number.
- Natham
- House-site land inside a village settlement, searched with its own Natham Patta mode.
- Old survey number
- The pre-resurvey identifier for the parcel, used to trace older documents to the current record.
Troubleshooting
Why might the result not appear?
- The wrong district, taluk or village was selected.
- The survey number or subdivision was entered differently from the record.
- A recent transfer or mutation is not reflected yet.
- An urban property needs a TSLR search instead of rural Patta Chitta.
- The owner name or spelling does not match the revenue record.
- The parcel was resurveyed and older documents carry the old survey number.
What this record cannot establish
A Patta Chitta is a revenue record. It does not by itself establish legal title, possession or an on-ground boundary. Reconcile it with the registered deed, EC, FMB or TSLR evidence and professional advice where needed.
Verification checklist

- Review the recorded holder, Patta number, classification and extent when the result is returned.
- Compare the result with the sale deed, Encumbrance Certificate and FMB or TSLR sketch.
- Resolve any mismatch before paying an advance or relying on the record for a transaction.

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 Patta Chitta in Tamil Nadu?
Patta Chitta is the combined revenue record used to check the recorded holder, survey number, extent and land classification for a Tamil Nadu parcel. Patta identifies the recorded holder and Chitta describes land classification such as wet or dry land where available.
What details do I need for Patta Chitta?
Keep the district, taluk, village, survey number and subdivision from the sale deed or existing land record ready. You can also use a Patta number when that search mode is supported.
Why is my Patta Chitta result missing?
You are not charged for a search that finds nothing. Nothing is quoted until a complete record is in hand, so a missing result, an incomplete one, or a portal that will not answer all cost nothing.
A result may be missing when the district, taluk, village, survey number or subdivision does not match the government record. A recent mutation may not be reflected yet, and an urban parcel may require a TSLR search instead.
Is Patta Chitta proof of legal title?
No. Patta Chitta is a revenue record and does not by itself establish legal title, possession or an on-ground boundary. Compare it with the registered deed, Encumbrance Certificate, FMB or TSLR evidence and seek professional advice where needed.
What is the difference between Patta Chitta and EC?
Patta Chitta shows recorded holder, survey, extent and classification details. An Encumbrance Certificate shows registered transactions and encumbrance history for a selected period. They answer different property-check questions and are often reviewed together.
What is the difference between rural, Natham and urban searches?
Rural covers agricultural revenue-village land and Natham covers house-site parcels inside a village settlement — both return Patta Chitta details. An urban town-survey parcel needs a TSLR search instead.
Can I download Patta Chitta as a PDF?
Yes. When the complete record is ready for the details you enter, you can pay to view and download the Patta + Chitta extract as a PDF.
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.
