Importance of Patta form

• The Patta form indicates the legal ownership of the land. The form is issued either in the name of the owner or the names of the co-owners (in case of joint holdings).  
• Patta could be used in the case of any disputes to the entitlement of the property. 
• In case of sale or transfer of the property, Patta will be the main determinant of the ownership of the property. 
• And if the government wishes to ascertain land, then it has to pay the compensation to the Patta holder (since it signified the first right to the title over that property). 

What is Chitta?

It is also a government document maintained by the Village Administrative Officer (VAO) and the Taluk office pertaining to immovable property. A Chitta has the classification of the land between Nanjai (Wet-land) and Punjai (Dry-land) along with the details of the owner of the property.
