Chitta is part of the rural revenue-record context. Availability and presentation can change as records are digitised or combined.
01

Use the current official Patta and Chitta service for the exact rural or Natham property. Do not rely on an old paper Chitta without comparing the current record.
02

- Rural or Natham land where the official service provides Patta and Chitta information.
- Do not force this record onto land that is maintained under town survey and TSLR.

- Patta or account context
- Survey number and subdivision

05
Check it step by step
Keep the property identity, source and date with every result.
- Confirm the record system
Ask whether the property is rural or Natham, or whether it falls under town survey.
- Open the official portal
Choose the current Patta / Chitta / FMB rural or Natham route.
- Use the exact village and subdivision
Match the deed schedule instead of searching only by owner name.
- Save the complete result
Keep Tamil names in Unicode and do not use browser translation for official names.
- Compare related records
Check the same survey and subdivision in Patta, A-Register and FMB.
- Ask the VAO about differences
Take the deed and current extract when the name, use, extent or classification differs.
- Stop on an unexplained mismatch
Obtain the official correction or documentary explanation and legal advice before relying on the entry.
06
Official website and office
Use Tamil Nadu land e-Services, the VAO and the correct taluk revenue or survey office.
Do not use browser translation for Tamil names in an official extract. Stop and investigate a name mismatch.
07
What this record does not prove
- Chitta is not a sale deed or title certificate.
- An old paper copy may not show the current record.
- It does not prove boundaries, access, approval or freedom from encumbrance.
- A land-use description in one record is not a complete planning conclusion.
08
Stop on these mismatches
- Old and current holder names differ
- Survey or subdivision differs from the deed
- Wet, dry or other recorded use conflicts with another record
- Extent differs
- The property is actually in a town survey area

COMMON QUESTIONS
Check Chitta with the current rural land record FAQs
One land record is not a complete property verification.
Is Chitta a title deed?
No. It is revenue-record evidence and must be compared with the registered title deeds.
Can I use an old Chitta copy?
Use it only as historical evidence and compare it with the current official record.
Does Chitta apply to a town survey property?
Do not assume so. Confirm the record system; TSLR matters in town survey areas.
