Patta, Chitta & EC: documents every Tamil Nadu land buyer must verify

Patta, Chitta & EC: documents every Tamil Nadu land buyer must verify

A practical checklist of the land records you should confirm before paying an advance in Tamil Nadu.

Buying land in Tamil Nadu? Verify these before you pay a rupee:

  1. Patta — the revenue record proving ownership. Check the name matches the seller.
  2. Chitta & Adangal — land classification (nanjai/punjai) and cultivation details.
  3. FMB Sketch — the survey-field measurement book sketch for exact boundaries.
  4. Encumbrance Certificate (EC) — 13–30 years to confirm the property is free of loans/disputes.
  5. DTCP/RERA approval — for layouts, confirm the approval number with the authority.
