Settlement / Re-Survey

சீர்திருத்த தீர்வை

The government's periodic re-survey of a village, renewing survey numbers and FMB records.

Settlement (or re-survey) is the government's cycle of re-surveying a village and renewing every survey number, FMB sheet, and village map with new measurements.

After re-survey the old survey numbers are carried forward or replaced, and holdings that were never properly surveyed are brought into the record — which often surfaces old boundary issues between neighbours.

When a village is re-surveyed, landowners should verify their new survey numbers and FMB records and reconcile them with their patta, because old and new numbers are cross-referenced at the survey office.
