A-Register

ஏ-பதிவேடு

The settlement register holding the original ownership of every survey number in a village.

The A-Register (settlement or original village register) is the master ownership register of the survey and settlement department, naming who originally held each survey number in a village.

For genealogically old holdings, the A-Register is where the name transfer history begins, before modern patta records. It is maintained at the taluk office and quoted in partition and inheritance cases.

Land officers use the A-Register together with the FMB to reconcile who owns what and how the survey number was split over time.
