Understanding Home Loan
Patta Chitta is Tamil Nadu's equivalent of the Record of Rights (RoR), the primary land ownership document for agricultural and non-agricultural plots in the state. Any property transaction or home loan involving a plot in Tamil Nadu will require a current Patta Chitta.

What is Patta Chitta?
Patta Chitta is a land certificate issued by the state government of Tamil Nadu that contains all essential details of a plot: ownership, size, survey number, land type, and tax information. It is maintained by the Tahsildar of the concerned district and serves as primary proof of land ownership in Tamil Nadu.
Patta Chitta is mandatory during property sales, government acquisitions, and ownership disputes. It applies specifically to plots and agricultural land — not apartments. For apartments, the registered sale deed and occupancy certificate serve as ownership documents.
In 2015, the Tamil Nadu government merged the previously separate Patta and Chitta documents into a single combined document, simplifying the process for landowners.
What is Patta?
Patta (also called Records of Rights) is the legal document issued by the government authority confirming the ownership of a land parcel. It contains:
- Name of the registered owner(s)
- Survey number
- Sub-division number
- District, Taluk, and village name
- Land area
- Owner's tax details
- Land type: dryland (Punjai) or wetland (Nanjai)
Patta is issued by the government and maintained by the Tahsildar. It does not need frequent renewal; updates occur when ownership changes through sale, inheritance, or court order.
What is Chitta?
Chitta was a land revenue document maintained by the Taluk office and village administration, recording ownership, size, area, and land classification. It provided additional detail on whether the land is punjai (dry land) or nanjai (wetland).
Since the government merged Patta and Chitta in 2015, all this information is now available in a single combined Patta document. There is no longer a need to apply for Chitta separately.

How does Patta Chitta connect to home loan applications?
Lenders require Patta Chitta before sanctioning a home loan against a Tamil Nadu plot because it:
- Confirms the legal owner's name matches the borrower's documents
- Verifies the plot area matches the sale deed
- Confirms the land classification is appropriate for the intended use
- Shows no existing tax dues or encumbrances on the land
Patta Chitta is the foundation of any property transaction involving a plot in Tamil Nadu. Keep it updated after every ownership change and validate it before presenting to a bank or legal authority. A current, updated Patta Chitta significantly speeds up the property legal check during home loan processing. Bajaj Finance offers home loans from 7.25% p.a.** with amounts up to Rs. 15 Crore* and tenures up to 32 years. Check your eligibility today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Legal and Closure
Does Patta Chitta apply to apartments in Tamil Nadu?
No. Patta Chitta applies only to plots and agricultural land. For apartments and flats, the registered sale deed and occupancy certificate are the primary ownership documents. If you own an apartment, you do not need a Patta Chitta; present your sale deed and encumbrance certificate for property transactions and loan applications.
What is the FMB (Field Measurement Book) sketch and how does it relate to Patta Chitta?
The FMB sketch is a detailed cadastral map showing the exact boundaries and dimensions of a plot. It is available alongside the Patta Chitta extract on the official portal. The FMB is equivalent to Bhu Naksha in other states and is required alongside Patta Chitta for property transactions and home loan applications to confirm plot boundaries.
How often should you update your Patta Chitta?
Patta Chitta does not have a fixed renewal period. However, it should be updated (through mutation) whenever ownership changes: after a sale, inheritance, gift, or court order. The certificate should reflect the current owner's name before any property transaction or home loan application. Always download a fresh copy close to the date of your transaction to ensure it is current.
