The Tamil Nadu government issues Patta, which is a legal document and it is issued in the name of the actual owner of the property. This document is to be obtained from the Tahsildar’s office from the particular district where a person belongs to. A patta constitutes of the following items: Taluk, name of the District and Village of the person who owns the land, the serial patta number, survey number, name of the owner who owns the property and subdivision of the land, whether a land is it a Wetland or a Dry land which is called NanjaiNilam and PunjaiNilam in Tamil.
Patta also contains details of the Tax details of the land and area of the land. When you want to claim that a particular land is yours, then you do have to show this Patta, and that will the proof of the legality of your ownership of a particular property. So once you apply for this legal document, and you receive it after all the necessary verification as conducted by the Government, then that particular piece of property will be registered under your name, and no further claims can be instilled on that property of land.
What is Chitta?
Chitta is kind of a document about land revenue which is usually maintained by officer of the Village Administration (VAO) and the Taluk office in the state. A chittais the one which gives all the information about the ownership, area and size of the land. What is crucially importance is that, a chitta is used to classify a land in two separate categories : one is punjai which means dry land and nanjai which is wet land. As per a survey was conducted in 2015, the TN govt then did not issue this Chitta. Then, after both Patta and Chitta was ordered by the Government to be done, a person needed to do both of these separately and naturally it took a long time for the final verification. So to avoid these problems, the government decide to punch both the legal documents, and it was then the government decided to merge the Patta and Chitta in to one document with all the necessary information mentioned in the Patta, so that the land revenue process becomes relevant.
