Try to obtain Pattayam.

Pattayam is treated as the title of land awarded by government to a  land holder. There are several types of pattayam.

  1. Pattayam for Government land – Occupied land - Kerala Land assignment Act.
  2. Pattayam for Government land – Non occupied land - Kerala Land assignment Act.
  3. Pattayam for Government land -  Beneficial enjoyment - Kerala Land assignment Act.
  4. Pattayam for Government land-   Special purposes - Kerala Land assignment Act.
  5. Pattayam for Private Land - Kudikidappu - Kerala Land Reforms Act.
  6. Micha Bhoomi pattayam - Kerala Land Reforms Act.

The need for pattayam arises in 3 situations.

  1. When government land is required for personal purpose.
