The process of changing the names of the landowners recorded in the village records (Thandapper Account) for the purpose of collecting land tax as a change of ownership of the land is called Pokkuvaravu or Transfer of registry. By allowing Pokkuvaravu, the land recorded in the Thandapper account of Seller or Transferor is transferred (i.e. Pokku) to the the Thandapper account of Buyer or Transferee (i.e. Varavu). It is the responsibility of the village officials to keep the village Thandapper Account updated in the most up-to-date manner so as to facilitate the collection of land tax from the actual taxpayers. To take such a move is only a means for the Government to levy land tax on existing holders. No one shall be deemed to have acquired legal rights over the land by renewing the Thandapper account through the proceedings. Moreover, if there are legal disputes over land, the officials do not have the power to adjudicate them. Only the civil courts have the power to rule on ownership in such cases. Revenue officials are obliged to make changes in the Thandapper account as per the decision of the civil courts.
