In Telangana’s land and revenue administration, “Faisal Patti” is an important term. It is essentially the annual land revenue demand statement prepared by the revenue authorities (earlier by the Village Patwari / now by the Tahsildar office).
Here’s a breakdown:
It is the official record of land revenue assessment and demand for agricultural lands in a village.
The document lists:
Survey number / sub-division number
Name of the landholder (pattadar)
Extent of land (in acres / guntas or hectares)
Classification of land (wet/dry, irrigated, etc.)
Rate of assessment (tax rate)
Annual revenue payable
Serves as the basis for land tax collection by the government.
Used by banks and government departments to verify ownership and revenue payment obligations.
Helps in preparing Pahani / Adangal (another land record showing crop details, cultivation, tenancy, etc.).
Under the Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) Land Revenue Act, 1317 Fasli (corresponding to ~1907 AD) and subsequent updates after the formation of Telangana, Faisal Patti is treated as an authoritative revenue record.
It is not a title deed, but a fiscal document showing revenue demand and liability. Ownership is separately recorded in Pattadar Passbooks / ROR 1-B extracts.
Farmers and landowners often ask for a copy of Faisal Patti during bank loans, subsidy applications, or land disputes.
It shows government’s assessment of land for revenue purposes, but not absolute ownership rights.
👉 In short: Faisal Patti = Annual land revenue demand register, maintained survey-wise for each village, forming the fiscal backbone of Telangana’s land revenue system.
