Transferring the name on a patta (land ownership document) is a crucial process when buying property, inheriting land, or updating records after a court verdict. This guide provides 12 essential insights into the procedures for full field and sub-division patta name transfers, helping you navigate the complexities with ease.
12 Key Insights
1. Definition of UDR Patta: UDR (Urban Development Records) pattas refer to land ownership documents issued based on surveys conducted from 1982 to 1985 under the Land Ownership Development Scheme.
2. Scope of UDR Pattas: Note that UDR pattas do not cover village natham lands, their associated pattas, or town survey pattas in municipalities, city corporations, or town panchayats.
3. Mandatory Name Transfer: After purchasing a property and registering the sale deed, it is mandatory to apply for a name transfer in the UDR records to reflect your ownership.
4. Court Orders: If you gain property ownership through a court verdict, you will need to apply for a patta name transfer based on the court decree.
5. Inheritance Transfers: When a landowner passes away, the heirs must apply for a patta name transfer based on inheritance documents.
6. Classification of Transfers: The revenue department classifies name transfers into two categories: full field patta transfers and sub-division patta transfers.
7. Full Field Patta Transfer: If an individual buys the entire extent of land in a survey number (e.g., 2 acres and 80 cents in Survey No. 75/2) and applies for a patta name transfer, it is termed a full field patta transfer.
8. Online Application Process: When applying for a patta name transfer online, you will need to select either “Full Field” or “Sub-Division” on the application form. Selecting “Full Field” routes the application to the Village Administrative Officer (VAO) for verification and report preparation, which is then forwarded to the Deputy Tahsildar.
9. Deputy Tahsildar’s Role: The Deputy Tahsildar issues the patta transfer order based on the VAO’s report. The name change is then updated in the online records, completing the transfer process.
10. Sub-Division Patta Transfer: If you purchase a portion of the land (e.g., 1 acre and 40 cents out of 2 acres and 80 cents in Survey No. 75/2), the survey number is split into sub-divisions (e.g., 75/2A and 75/2B). The land is then re-surveyed and mapped accordingly before the patta name transfer is processed.
11. Online Sub-Division Application: For sub-division patta transfers, select the “Sub-Division” option on the online application. This application is sent directly to the surveyor, who will inspect the land, conduct the survey, prepare the maps, assign sub-division numbers, and forward the details to the Tahsildar for final approval.
12. Final Steps and Online Update: Once the Tahsildar approves the sub-division, the updated patta details are uploaded online. Understanding whether your patta transfer falls under full field or sub-division will streamline your application process and ensure accuracy.
Conclusion Navigating the patta name transfer process requires awareness of the specific type of transfer you need. By understanding the differences between full field and sub-division patta transfers and following the outlined procedures, you can efficiently manage your land ownership documentation.
