Pallavaram taluk is a taluk in Greater Chennai City, formed from the bifurcation of Alandur taluk in 2015. It also included some areas from Sriperumbudur Taluk. Its headquarters are in the town of Pallavaram near Pallavaram–Thuraipakkam Radial Road. It comes under Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA). It shares its boundaries with Alandur Taluk in Chennai District on the north, Kundrathur Taluk in Kanchipuram district on the west, Sholinganallur Taluk in Chennai District on the east.

Later in 2018, Areas under Alandur Taluk (which also comes under Greater Chennai Corporation) were annexed with Chennai District. Villages that are not under Greater Chennai Corporation in Alandur Taluk were moved to Pallavaram Taluk.

Pallavaram Taluk has four revenue blocks: Pallavaram, Pammal, Kundrathur, and Mangadu.[1]

Since 2019, new Chengalpattu district has been carved out from Kancheepuram District. Kundrathur is formed as new taluk with Kundrathur and Mangadu revenue blocks. Kundrathur taluk comes under Kancheepuram District and Pallavaram Taluk is moved to newly formed Chengalpattu District.[2]

The total area of Pallavaram was 100 km2 including Kundrathur and Mangadu Firkas forming a largest taluk. Since 2019, Kundrathur and Mangadu Firkas are carved out from Pallavaram Taluk to form the new Kundrathur Taluk under Kancheepuram District. So, the total area of Pallavaram Taluk was shrunk to 62 km2 covering Pallavaram and Pammal revenue blocks.

Currently, Pallavaram Taluk will have 2 firkas: Pallavaram and Pammal revenue blocks.

Pallavaram taluk have its own District Munsif Court.[3]
