Muthu from Thanjavur district wanted to apply for a crop loan. The bank asked for his Adangal — a land record showing which crops he cultivated last season.
He had never downloaded it before. A friend told him: “eservices.tn.gov.in — it’s free, no login needed.” He entered his district, taluk, village, and survey number. Adangal appeared on screen. Downloaded. Bank accepted it.

AAVOT kya hai? — 4 Documents Explained
“AAVOT” = Tamil Nadu land records system = 4 key documents:
| Document | Tamil | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| Adangal (A-Register) | அடங்கல் | Crop cultivation details, land use, water source |
| Patta | பட்டா | Land ownership record |
| Chitta | சிட்டா | Revenue classification — merged with Patta in 2015 |
| FMB Sketch | தள வரைபடம் | Field Measurement Book — land boundary map |
| TSLR Extract | நகர்ப்புற நில பதிவு | Urban land ownership — Town Survey Land Register |
Patta + Chitta = merged into one document since 2015. Adangal = different from Patta — shows crop and cultivation details, not just ownership.
⭐ Adangal (A-Register) — For Farmers
Most searched AAVOT document — competitors miss:
Adangal = annual record of each land parcel = who cultivates it, what crops, irrigation source. Farmers need Adangal for: crop loans, PM Kisan verification, crop insurance (PMFBY), government subsidies. Different from Patta — Patta shows ownership; Adangal shows cultivation.
