Overview

Last updated: June 20, 2026
Old Survey Records (OSR) in Tamil Nadu refer to historical land measurement and ownership documents maintained by the Survey and Land Records Department (SLRD) for older periods that may not be fully available through standard digital portals. Survey Records include Field Measurement Books (FMB), A-Register entries, Patta/Chitta records, and Town Survey Land Records (TSLR) that document land boundaries, extent, classification, and ownership as recorded during original or subsequent survey operations. When you need records from older survey settlements — sometimes dating back to colonial-era surveys — those details may require manual retrieval from District Survey Offices or Taluk offices.
