This law provides a legal mechanism for issuing patta pass books to land and house site owners across Tamil Nadu. Issued by local Tahsildars, these pass books serve as official, prima facie evidence of land ownership and details prior encumbrances or mortgages. The Act applies to private landowners, credit agencies, and revenue officials within the state. It matters because it simplifies property verification, prevents fraudulent real estate transactions, and streamlines access to financial loans by requiring banks and registering authorities to record transfers and encumbrances directly into the pass book and official state registers.
