The Patta/Chitta is a crucial document for landowners in Tamil Nadu, serving as the official record for both ownership and land classification. Patta represents the land ownership record, while Chitta indicates the classification of the land, such as wetland or dryland. These documents are necessary for various purposes, such as property transactions, legal verification, and applying for land-related services.
Patta is a land ownership record issued by the Tamil Nadu Revenue Department, detailing the landowner's name, survey number, and extent of the land. Chitta, on the other hand, classifies the land as either wetland (nanjai) or dryland (punjai), indicating its nature and permissible uses.
