Question 1

How do I find the survey number of my land in Tamil Nadu?

Accepted Answer

On the 1acre map, search your village or drop a pin on the plot — the boundary and survey number appear. Or, on TN e-Services (eservices.tn.gov.in) view the Patta / Chitta by survey and subdivision number.

Question 2

What is the difference between Patta and Chitta?

Accepted Answer

Patta is the ownership/title record issued by the Tahsildar. Chitta is the land account showing classification (wet/dry) and extent. Both are keyed to the survey number.

Question 3

How do I view Patta / Chitta by survey number online?

Accepted Answer

Use TN e-Services → View Patta & Chitta / A-Register, then enter district, taluk, village and the survey (and subdivision) number.

Question 4

What is Adangal and how is it different from Patta?

Accepted Answer

The Adangal / A-Register lists holdings and cultivation by survey number; the Patta records who owns the land. They serve different purposes.

Question 5

Is Patta the same as an Encumbrance Certificate?

Accepted Answer

No. Patta (from e-Services) shows ownership of a survey number; the Encumbrance Certificate (from TNREGINET) shows the registration/transaction history.

Question 6

How do I get an FMB sketch for my survey number?

Accepted Answer

The Field Measurement Book (FMB) sketch is available on TN e-Services for a given survey number.
