Patta Chitta Overview
For each piece of land in Tamil Nadu, a Patta Chitta is a single combined document containing the Patta (Record of Rights) and Chitta (land records held by a village and Taluk administration) (TN). The Patta and Chitta were two separate documents until 2015 when they were combined into a single TN Patta with all related material.
The Chitta is no longer available on its own. The government of Tamil Nadu proposed in 2018 that all traditional Patta Chittas be phased out and replaced with digital TN Patta Chitta [ePatta] to provide greater connectivity to its people.
