In property transactions and land ownership matters, revenue records play a vital role in establishing possession and usage of land. One such important revenue document is the Adangal. Understanding the importance of Adangal is essential for landowners, purchasers, and legal heirs to avoid future disputes and ensure lawful ownership.

What is Adangal?

An Adangal (also known as Village Account No. 2) is a land revenue record maintained by the Village Administrative Officer (VAO). It contains detailed information about agricultural land and reflects actual possession and cultivation details of the land.

An Adangal typically includes:

Name of the landholder or cultivator
Survey number and subdivision

Though Adangal is not a title document, it is a strong supporting record in legal proceedings.
