Some Important Information From Comments

Comments:
1. I purchased a 2 ground plot bearing plot number 26, comprised in survey number  88/3, 88/4A, and 90/5, in Coral County, situated in 182, Vasuvasumuthiram Village, Thirukazhukundram Tauk, Kanchipuram District within the registration District of Chengalpet and the sub registration District of Thirukazhukundram and the sale deed was registered with Sub Registrar office Thirukazhukundram as Document number 2255 on 23rd April 2008. How can I obtain patta transfer in my name?

2.This has become a arduous task for common man who does not know any thing about computer. Most of the eSevice centers are not properly working. The VAOs are demanding huge money to submit report. Purchase and sale of land becomes a curse with the corrupt revenue officials and cumbersome government rules. The online applications should be given a number and people should be able to follow the status easily. Time frame should be intimated to the applicant.
