Patta

A Patta is an official land ownership document issued by the government, particularly in India, confirming the legal rights of a person over a specific piece of land. It contains details like the land's location, size, and owner’s name. Having a Patta ensures legal recognition of ownership, enabling the owner to use, sell, or transfer the land legally. It also helps prevent disputes and clarifies land records. Essentially, a Patta serves as proof of legitimate landholding, providing security and clarity to landowners and facilitating smooth transactions.
