Citizens who need to transfer their pattas need not visit the common service centres anymore. They can now log on to a portal designed exclusively for applying for patta transfers, which was launched by Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Friday.
Once citizens log on to the portal https://tamilnilam.tn.gov.in/citizen/, they need to register as a user through the One Time Password (OTP) sent to their mobile numbers. The users can also update their basic details.
Once the procedure is completed, the user is asked whether the request for patta transfer involves sub division. Accordingly, the applications are accepted.
The Chief Minister also launched a new feature in the Anytime/Anywhere e-Services portal of the Directorate of Survey and Settlement through which users can download the Town Survey Land Register (TSLR) sketches for urban areas.
However, when checked, the database in the portal https://eservices.tn.gov.in/eservicesnew/home.html was not complete. A rider in the portal read: "Pending TSLR sketch will be brought in this portal shortly."
Of the 183 towns across the State, TSLR sketches are uploaded for over 110 and remaining would be uploaded soon, an official said.
Minister for Revenue and Disaster Management K.K.S.S.R. Ramachandran and senior officials were present during the event.
