What are the Types of Pattas in Tamilnadu?

A Patta is a legal document used in Tamilnadu to prove the ownership of a plot of land. According to the use of the property and the type of ownership, there are different Patta types. Rishika has already provided the details of 4 different types of Patta. Let’s learn more about other Pattas in Tamil Nadu. But before that, check out the reasons for acquiring Patta.

Why do we need Patta?

The Patta document is crucial in any disagreements between the landholder and the government or other landowners. This is because it is conclusive evidence of a person's legitimate land ownership. If the government buys your property, you can be entitled to compensation if you have the latest Patta. 

Additionally, even with unoccupied plots, having a Patta in your possession demonstrates legal possession if you ever wish to sell your land. Therefore, getting this document is crucial for all Tamil Nadu landowners.

Different types of Patta in Tamil Nadu

• UDR (Updating Data Registry) Patta:

  The Tamil Nadu government created this scheme with the goal of granting Patta to legitimate landowners. 

• 2 C Patta:

  The state has implemented the Tree Patta Scheme, commonly known as 2C Patta, for many years. According to this plan, nearby property owners or other people who are capable of taking responsibility for the trees are given the right to use leaves, fruits, and other materials of the trees standing on the government-owned Poramboke grounds.

The layout Patta, which is given out for residential properties, is one typical variety. Those who own property on which residential constructions are built receive this Patta. It enables them to benefit from their ownership rights to the property. I hope you found this answer useful.

Patta is given on both permanent and temporary leases. So let me provide you with their meaning and sub-division here.

- 

patta is given to individuals who do not have any agricultural land.

Patta is given to individuals for constructing a house, but the time to build the house is also stated and must be done within that time. Also, note that the amount of the allocated land varies from one state to another.

Patta is given to craftsmen, and they are also allowed to use the soil of the plot to make earthenware.

The patta that is given on a temporary lease is given to people for constructing a pond or for afforestation purposes. The lease is given for a brief period of time. 

So these are the types of patta land.
