What is the latest update on Patta ?

Please refer to Committee updates dated September 23rd 2022,  August 9th 2022 and May 13th 2022 (See 2022 Updates) for the latest update on Patta.

What is Patta? Why is it important to have Patta?

Patta is a government record containing land ownership, area of land, and the location with survey details. Verifying Patta documents will show that property is being bought from the rightful owner as per the Government records while purchasing any property. 

To have a clear property title, a valid Patta with the seller is a must for the land that he/she is selling. After purchasing the ground, the buyer must apply to the concerned Taluka office to transfer Patta to the buyer’s name to maintain a clear title. 

Can we apply Patta online?

No, we cannot.

How to apply for Patta? Who can help doing the patta?  

It is the individual owner's responsibility to get Patta done by visiting Tahsildar’s office (Refer process below). 

One may also contact an agent to do so. A list of vendors/agents who can help you getting the patta is made available on the ApnaComplex platform. This list is prepared based on previous engagements/experiences/suggestions from the owner community.

Can someone help translate the document ?

The Patta you get from your agent or https://eservices.tn.gov.in/ might be in Tamil. You may use Google Translate to translate to English. Google will only make a best-effort-translation. So the Spelling of your name after translation may not be correct.

Email MC team at concordemistvalley@gmail.com for further help.It may take time as we will engage someone to volunteer for you. 

I have different survey numbers on my Patta and Sale deed? 

As far as our understanding goes, when a new patta is issued, the area under your plot is issued a new survey subdivision number.  This survey subdivision number number will be coming under a bigger survey number that is mentioned in sale deed. So the numbers in the sale deed and patta. 

Both these survey numbers will be there in the FMB (field measurement book). FMB can be checked online but not updated regularly. What we have observed is that some issued pattas has the FMB updated online but some do not have. We are not exactly sure of the FMB update process, so cannot give more information on how to get this updated. We urge you to check with the Taluk office/agent who has given the Patta to you.

Note that on resale of a plot which already has a patta, there is no need to issue a new subdivision number as it's already there in the FMB. The patta is simply transferred to your name.

I don't see my plot number in Patta? 

Plot number will not be there in Patta as that is something CMV specific and will not be there in Govt records.

What checks must we do when we get the Patta? 

Check if the first name is the same as your sale deed. The format is 

Father Name of First Owner            First Owner  XXXX

First owner                                                  Relation Second Owner XXXX                         

If the names are wrong, immediately approach your same agent to correct without any cost.

Check whether your Patta is updated in the FMB sketch online at https://eservices.tn.gov.in/ using the below option on the site.

How do I know that my Patta document is good? 

At this point  the volunteer group thinks that if you have got the tax paid after you received patta, it is good. We have had cases where patta has been received but tax payment was denied. 

• Check that names in the patta matches names in sale deed 

• Check online at https://eservices.tn.gov.in/ by giving patta number/survey number and it shows your patta 

• Are you able to pay tax using your patta 

With the above checks we can assume that our patta has no issues.
