What Is Patta & Chitta?
These two documents form the foundation of land ownership proof in Tamil Nadu. Today they are merged into a single digital record under the Tamil Nilam system.
Patta
A legal document issued by the Revenue Department. Contains survey number, village name, land area, and classification. Proves who legally owns the land.
Chitta
Shows land type — wetland or dry land — and usage status. Indicates whether land is agricultural or non-agricultural. Now merged with Patta digitally.
Both Patta and Chitta are now integrated into a single digital document under Tamil Nadu’s Tamil Nilam system. One record gives complete information.
