Its headquarters in located in [[Pallavaram - Thuraipakkam Radial Road|Pallavaram–Thuraipakkam Radial Road]]. It shares its boundaries with [[Alandur taluk|Alandur Taluk]] in [[Chennai district|Chennai District]] on the north, Kundrathur Taluk in [[Kanchipuram district]] on the west, [[Sholinganallur taluk|Sholinganallur Taluk]] in [[Chennai district|Chennai District]] on the east.

In 2018, when areas under Alandur Taluk, were annexed by [[Chennai district|Chennai District]], revenue villages that were not under [[Greater Chennai Corporation]] were moved to Pallavaram Taluk.

Pallavaram Taluk has four [[revenue block]]s: Pallavaram, Pammal, Kundrathur, and Mangadu.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://cdn.s3waas.gov.in/s31543843a4723ed2ab08e18053ae6dc5b/uploads/2018/04/2018040545.pdf|title=Revenue Villages in Pallavaram Taluk}}</ref>

In 2019, [[Chengalpattu district]] was carved out from [[Kanchipuram district|Kancheepuram district]]. Kundrathur taluk was created with [[Kundrathur]] and [[Mangadu]] revenue blocks. Kundrathur taluk remind under Kancheepuram District and Pallavaram Taluk was moved to newly formed Chengalpattu District.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/new-districts-in-tamil-nadu-boundaries-redrawn/articleshow/72034946.cms|title=Pallavaram Taluk moved to Chengalpattu District}}</ref>

The total area of Pallavaram was 100 km2 including Kundrathur and Mangadu [[Revenue block|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.
