Patta is basically a revenue record. It is an extract issued from the Register of Land holdings maintained, usually at the office of the Tahsildar. This is issued in the name of the person or persons in whose name the records relating to the holdings are maintained.
Patta is an instrument showcasing possession of property. Rights to property may arise in three ways:
(i) Through voluntary act of parties – The transactions which fall within this classification are those covered by the Transfer of Property Act.
(ii) Inheritance or bequest – Laws relating to succession covers this type of rights of properties.
(iii) By orders of courts, tribunals, State action, etc.
Similarly, there are three levels of documents supporting claims to the title – title documents, approvals or other municipal records and revenue records. Depending on the nature of the property and the nature of its possession, Patta can be obtained in respect of the above mentioned three transactions.
The issuance of Patta signifies that you have lawful possession over the property. It is issued in the name of owner or in the case of joint holdings, in the names of the joint owners.
If there is any problem or title conflict with the Government or any third person regarding the land, then the Patta can be given in as useful evidence.
Even if the Government wishes to acquire land, it has to pay compensation to the Patta holder, since the Patta holder has the first right to title over that property.
If there is any sale of the property, the Patta will be the main determinant of the ownership of the property.

The concerned officer may hold an enquiry or conduct a survey of the land/property before granting the Patta.
