Grama Natham land can only be used for residential purposes.for building houses One cannot use it for any commercial purpose at all as it will be considered illegal.
2) You will have to visit the village Administration office and follow the process shared by them.
If a Grama Natham property is owned by an individual, applying for Patta is still feasible but is not easy to obtain. It is vital to note that Grama Natham land can never be used for commercial activities.
Grama Natham' means village house site. The same can be used for residential purposes and can also be freely transferred from one person to another. The restriction is that the same can be used only for a single dwelling unit and the land cannot be exploited commercially i.e., cannot be used for construction of flats.

Dear Client,
The property that could be developed into homes was first referred to as Grama Natham. It was also designed to help separate residential areas more clearly from government-owned territory, including Badlands, Pannai Lands, Ryotwari Lands, and Inam Lands. Grama Natham is the term for the barren and underutilised terrain that is found outside of towns like Chennai. This is a plot of land that isn't actually owned by anyone. Such land is not legally proven to be owned. Grama Natham's land may only be utilised for non-commercial, residential uses. There is almost little room for future growth and no social infrastructure in the area. Land in the Grama Natham style is frequently more affordable, particularly in Chennai's suburbs. Acquiring Patta for Grama Natham land in Chennai is a difficult task. To follow their shared process, you will need to attend the village administration office. You will receive procedure guidance from the officials. Land in Natham is restricted to residential usage. Floor plans may be requested from you. You can ask the authorities any queries you may have right then and there.
- The term Grama Natham was born to define the land that could be used to build houses, and such land may only be used for residential and non-commercial purposes.
- Further, there are lengthy legal processes involved in purchasing land from Grama Natham and the verification of the documents of the seller is necessary for purchasing the land.
- You should visit the Revenue department before purchasing this land.
