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. [2] These land deeds were associated with the process of land reform in India, after the colonial period. [3] A person holding a patta is known as a pattadar. [4]
