Patta (land deed)

Patta (Hindi: पट्टा) is a type of land deed issued by the government to an individual or organization.

The term is used in India[1] and certain other parts of South Asia for a small piece of land, granted by the government to an approved cultivator with a land revenue exemption.

The period of exemption is what is required to bring the land under cultivation.

[3] A person holding a patta is known as a pattadar.
