 Investing in land in Tamil Nadu? Understand Patta, Chitta, and Adangal First

If you're considering purchasing land in Tamil Nadu, it's crucial to thoroughly understand the property's details before making any decisions. This is where documents like Patta, Chitta, and Adangal come into play. These records contain vital information about the land, including its size, rightful ownership, and legal status.

Thanks to technological advancements, accessing these records has become more convenient than ever. You can now check them online from the comfort of your home, saving you the hassle of long queues and office visits. In this article, we'll guide you through the simple steps to access these essential documents digitally.

Understanding the Differences

Before we dive into the steps, let's clarify the differences between Patta, Chitta, and Adangal, as many people confuse them.

Patta: A document maintained at the taluka (sub-district) level office. It contains a series of numbers, with each Patta number associated with multiple survey numbers, indicating the land someone owns.

Chitta: This document provides comprehensive information about the land someone owns.

Adangal: Also known as the A-register extract, Adangal offers detailed information about a specific piece of land, a survey number, or even a single plot.

In summary, Patta and Chitta reveal who owns the land, while Adangal provides in-depth knowledge about the land itself.
