Chitta - Chitta is a register kept by the government in villages specifying the lands owned by individuals. It carried details such as name of the owner, Patta numbers, the type of land, whether it is in use, and whether related payments have been made.

Padhivedu - This register contains details such as the name of the owner who was given Patta, the old land measurement data number, clause number, and the type of land – Sarkar (Sa), or Inam (I), Nanjai (Na), Punjai (Pu), Manavari (Ma) Un decided open, Poromboke Land (Open land).

The activity is not complete with the Patta chahange. If it is a normal Patta change, the changes must also have been registered in above-mentioned registers like Chitta and Adangal. If the Patta change involves clauses, the details must also be entered in Adangal, Chitta, A register, and the Map. So, immediately after the Patta change is completed, it is better to obtain copies of the records registered in the above-mentioned documents through RTI (Right To Information) Act. This will provide extra safety.
It is also better to check whether the Patta change order is registered in the village office registers regarding this change.
