In Tamil Nadu, the patta—a land revenue record—establishes the title and ownership of land.

The Patta Register, which is kept at the Taluk office, contains information on who owns each piece of land.

The Patta contains entries describing who owns what land and how much of it.

For village properties, patta is always issued in hectares or acres.

The ownership information for the land that belongs to a person or persons is provided in the Chitta, an extract from the Patta register.

The specific data in a patta/Chitta extract includes the village, taluk, district, father’s name of the landowner, patta number, survey number, and information on the subdivision.

In Tamil Nadu, the VAO (Village Administrative Officer) office maintains a register of the land that is under their control.

It contains information about the property, including its classification, tax assessment, and owner’s name.

The “A” register listed information about the land, while the “Chitta” record listed ownership and the “Adangal” record listed tenancy and cultivation information.

Information needed for the issuance of documents like Records of Rights (ROR) to the public is contained in the “A” register and “Chitta.”

Adangal is an excerpt from the VAO office’s A- Register.

Adangal records give more information about the type of land and its intended use.

The Adangal extract includes data on holdings broken down by Survey Number, field area, tenancy information, and more.
