How to Verify Patta and Chitta Before Buying Land in Dindigul

Buying land in Tamil Nadu requires careful verification of government land records. The two most important documents are Patta and Chitta. Here is everything you need to know.

What is Patta?

Patta is a Revenue document issued by the government that establishes the legal ownership of land. It contains the owner's name, survey number, land extent, and Patta number. If you are buying a plot, the seller's name must match the Patta.

What is Chitta?

Chitta is a subsidiary record that describes the type of land — whether it is Nanjai (wet land, used for paddy cultivation) or Punjai (dry land). This classification affects land use and conversion requirements.
