Also called: Village account, Pahani (similar record in Telangana and Karnataka)
A village account in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh recording each survey number's holder, extent and how the land is used or cultivated.
How it works and what to check
Adangal is kept by village revenue officials and is updated for crops and land use. Lenders and buyers of agricultural land look at it to confirm the land's use and occupation.
Check that the holder and extent agree with the patta and the deeds; mismatches are worth resolving before you pay.
