A "Pattayam"is a land ownership document in Kerala, India, also referred to as a Thandaper certificate or land title deed.

  • Getting a certified copy online:
    You can usually visit Kerala's official land records portal, register or log in, and navigate to the section for certified copies. Provide details of the property (survey number, village, Taluk, etc.), pay the applicable fee, and download the document.

  • Getting a new Pattayam (title deed):
    If you are applying for a Pattayam for the first time (e.g., under land assignment or regularization schemes), you must apply through the Land Tribunal or Taluk office. The process generally includes:

    1. Submitting proof of land possession or ownership.

    2. Providing a survey sketch of the property.

    3. Filling and submitting the prescribed application form.

    4. A property verification and measurement by a government surveyor.

    5. Issuance of Pattayam after approval by the revenue authorities.

  • Getting a duplicate Pattayam (if lost/damaged):
    Apply for a certified copy at the Taluk office or through the online portal by submitting property details and proof of identity.

Usually when a title deed (adharam) is lost, we have to register an FIR regarding loss and also a paper publication asking if somebody got it specifying a time limit to return if received. Then obtain a certified copy from the Sub Registrar's office and again make a paper publication stating the details of the said certified copy (stamp paper number etc) and informing the whole public that since the original is irrecoverably lost, the said certified copy will be treated as original for all purposes.

You can file an application before the Land Tribunal Court for the certified copy of the original pattayam. You have to submit the photocopy of your title deed and the basic tax receipt along with the application.If your original title deed is lost you won;t get the duplicate copy of that . However you can get the certified copy from the SRO.

It appears that the query is based on incomplete understanding of the issue. A pattayam is grant by the Government whereas an adharam is deed of transfer by way sale or gift. The particulars of these documents could be available with the village office based on the mutations (pokkuvaravu) carried out. The duplicate of adharam could be obtained from SRO and that pattayam (if available) from the Village/Taluka Office.
