Natham Land (நத்தம் நிலம்) ✔ What it means “Village house site” Government originally assigned it for house construction for village people. Many houses in villages/towns are built on Natham land. ✔ Can you buy? Yes, you can buy, but only if these conditions are true: Patta type is Natham Patta (House site patta) No encroachment issues Clear EC Proper boundaries in FMB ⚠ Risk Some Natham pattas are “recently given” or “not original,” so always verify with a lawyer. ❌ 2. Poramboke Land (பொரம்போக்கு நிலம்) ❗ Meaning Government-owned land Reserved for: Roads Lakes / ponds Waterways Burial ground Forest Public use 🚫 Do NOT buy. Even if someone “sells,” you will never get patta. You cannot build anything. Government can reclaim anytime. Poramboke = 100% AVOID. ❌ 3. Panchayat Land (பஞ்சாயத்து நிலம்) This can mean two things: (A) Panchayat land (government land under panchayat) Belongs to local panchayat Not private → Cannot buy (B) Panchayat-approved plots Layout approved by local panchayat (not DTCP/CMDA) → You can buy, but approvals are weaker than DTCP. → Risk of disputes in future. ⚠ Buy only if seller provides: Parent documents Panchayat layout approval Clear patta FMB sketch No EC issues Not as safe as DTCP, but still purchaseable. ❌ 4. Nanjai Land (நஞ்சை நிலம்) Meaning Wet agricultural land Used for cultivation (paddy fields etc.) 🚫 Should you buy for house? No. Because: It is agriculture-only land Cannot construct house without conversion to NA (non-agri) DTCP approval may never come High risk of future government restrictions Flood-prone areas often fall in Nanjai category Nanjai land = Avoid for house/investment ⚠ Which land types should NOT be purchased? NEVER BUY ❌ Poramboke ❌ Panchayat government land ❌ Nanjai (if your purpose is house construction) ❌ Land with NO patta ✅ Which land types are safe to purchase? Safe Options ✔ DTCP approved layout ✔ CMDA approved (if in Chennai region) ✔ Original Natham House-site Patta ✔ Grama Natham with long ownership history ✔ Tharam Patta (clear ancestral patta)
