Meebhoomi Adangal and 1B Online: AP Land Record Guide (2026)

You can see your Andhra Pradesh land record online at meebhoomi.ap.gov.in: sign in with a mobile number and SMS code, choose district, mandal and village, and search your khata or survey number to view the Adangal or the ROR-1B. Both are free to view. This guide shows the exact steps, explains every column, and tells you what to do if something on the record has changed without you.

What are Adangal and 1-B, and what do they prove?

The Adangal is the village account of every parcel of land: its number, extent, classification, water source and who is in enjoyment of it. The ROR-1B (Record of Rights, Form 1-B) is the list of holders, called pattadars, with the parcels each one holds under a khata (account) number.

Both are kept by the Village Revenue Officer (VRO) and updated when the tahsildar approves a mutation: a sale, gift, partition or inheritance.

What they do not prove is title. They record who the revenue department has on file. Ownership comes from a registered sale deed, gift deed, partition deed, a will or inheritance under law. A correct record backs up your title; a wrong one is a warning, not a transfer.

What changed with the AP resurvey and LP numbers?

Andhra Pradesh has been remeasuring all land with drones and GPS since 2020. The scheme started as YSR Jagananna Saswatha Bhu Hakku mariyu Bhu Raksha Pathakam and the state has since renamed it the Andhra Pradesh Resurvey Project.

In villages where the resurvey is finished, each parcel gets a new LP number (land parcel number), and the old survey number is kept only as a reference. Many records also carry a ULPIN, the 14-character national land parcel ID. If your family's papers only show old survey numbers, expect the online record to look different.

How do you check Adangal or 1-B on Meebhoomi, step by step?

Meebhoomi now asks for a short sign-in before it shows any record. Have the khata number ready; it is printed on the pattadar passbook and old 1-B copies, and it is the most reliable search.

1. 1

   Open meebhoomi.ap.gov.in

   Type the address yourself and check it ends in ap.gov.in. Look-alike sites copy the name.
2. 2

   Sign in with a mobile number

   Enter a 10-digit Indian mobile number and request the OTP. Type the SMS code and the picture CAPTCHA shown on screen, then verify. The session lasts only a short while, so have your details ready.
3. 3

   Choose the record

   Pick ROR-1B or Adangal from the menu. Labels appear in Telugu and English.
4. 4

   Choose district, then mandal, then village

   Pick the district where the land lies. Districts have been reorganised since 2022, so if your village is missing, try the neighbouring new district.
5. 5

   Search by khata, survey or LP number

   Enter the khata number, or the survey number (LP number in resurveyed villages). Some screens also let you search by pattadar name or Aadhaar-linked details.
6. 6

   Answer the small sum and view

   The record pages show a simple arithmetic CAPTCHA. Solve it, view the record, and print or save it as a PDF with today's date.

If you are not sure which record or portal applies, our land record finder points you to the right one for each state.

How do you read every column of the 1-B and Adangal?

Read the 1-B for who and the Adangal for what and how. The sample below is invented, but the columns match what Meebhoomi shows.

• Khata number. The account that groups one family's or person's parcels. A joint khata lists every co-holder; if a row says joint, open the joint holders list too.
• Pattadar name and father or husband name. The recorded holder. Names are usually in Telugu, so compare carefully with the family tree.
• LP number and old survey number. The parcel ID. After resurvey the LP number is the one that counts.
• Extent. Usually in acres with decimals, where 1.50 means one and a half acres (150 cents). Convert to hectares or local units with our land unit converter. Resurvey can slightly change extents, so compare with your deed, not with memory.
• Classification and nature. Wet or dry, patta (private) or government, assigned or inam. Assigned land has transfer restrictions, so a sudden change here deserves a question.
• Mode of acquisition. How the pattadar got the land: purchase, inheritance, partition, gift or government grant. A new "purchase" you never agreed to is the clearest red flag.
• Enjoyer (anubhavadar) and nature of enjoyment. In the Adangal, who is actually using the land and in what capacity. Watch for a name that is not the family's.
• Water source, land use and remarks. Borewell, canal or rain-fed; crops or fallow; and the VRO's notes. Remarks often mention disputes, court orders or pending corrections.

How do you get a certified or signed copy?

The online view is for checking. For a bank, court, sub-registrar or sale, you usually need a certified copy issued by the revenue department.

Ask at any MeeSeva centre or the village or ward secretariat for a certified copy of the Adangal or ROR-1B. You pay a small service fee, which can change, so ask at the counter. Bring the district, mandal, village and khata or LP number.

Pattadars can also get an e-passbook (the digital pattadar passbook), which usually needs your mobile and Aadhaar linked to the land. For registered transactions like a sale or mortgage, the encumbrance certificate from the registration department is the second record to check.

What are the common Meebhoomi errors, and how do you fix them?

Most problems are about the sign-in, the number you search, or the village list.

• Site will not load or keeps timing out. Meebhoomi is busiest in Indian working hours and often unreachable from foreign networks. Try early morning or late evening India time.
• No OTP arrives. The code goes only to Indian mobile numbers. Check the SIM is active and roaming SMS is on, and wait a minute before asking for a new code.
• Wrong CAPTCHA. The picture code changes after each failed try. Reload it and type the new one exactly as shown.
• Village not listed. Districts and mandals have been reorganised since 2022. Try the new district your mandal moved to.
• Survey number not found. In a resurveyed village, search by khata number instead, or get the LP number from the village surveyor.
• Name looks wrong or in Telugu only. Search by number, not name. A real spelling mistake is corrected through the VRO and tahsildar with an application and proof.

How do you spot a suspicious change, and what should you do at once?

Compare today's record with the last copy you saved. Three changes matter most: a new pattadar name, a changed extent or share, and a new mode of acquisition such as a purchase or gift you know nothing about. A stranger appearing as the enjoyer year after year is a quieter warning about possession.

If you see one, move quickly but calmly:

1. Save evidence. Print or save the record with the date, and keep your older copies.
2. Ask the VRO at the village secretariat what entry changed it and when, and request the mutation proceedings.
3. Go to the tahsildar (MRO) office. Mutations are decided there. If a mutation is still pending, file a written objection with your title documents.
4. Appeal if it is already done. Under the AP Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971, a tahsildar's mutation order can be appealed to the Revenue Divisional Officer (RDO), with a further revision before the Collector. Time limits are short, so speak to a local property lawyer within days, not months.
5. Check registrations. Pull an encumbrance certificate to see if a sale or mortgage was registered. If a deed was forged, a police complaint is also an option.

You can also raise the grievance with the district administration's public grievance system. If you need the paper trail behind an entry, an RTI request works well; our RTI generator for land records drafts one. Our guide to mutation explained covers the process in more depth.

How can NRIs use Meebhoomi from abroad?

You can do most of this yourself if you keep a working Indian mobile number. The sign-in sends an SMS code, so a dormant SIM or a foreign number will not work. Many families keep one Indian SIM on roaming just for land, bank and tax OTPs.

The portal also tends to block or time out on foreign internet connections. If it will not open, a relative in India can look it up in two minutes and send you the PDF.

For a certified copy or a visit to the VRO, you do not need to give anyone a power of attorney. A relative can collect copies and ask questions with your khata number and a signed authorisation letter for that one task. Keep the POA for genuine transactions, and read our note on power of attorney risks before signing one. For state-specific risks, see our Andhra Pradesh guide.

How do you keep watch on your AP land without checking every week?

Checking by hand works if you are disciplined: sign in every month or two, save a dated PDF of the 1-B and Adangal, and compare names, extents and the enjoyer column. The weak spot is the gap between checks, and the OTP step when your Indian SIM has lapsed.

PlotPehra does this for you. We check your official Meebhoomi record every week and flag any new pattadar, changed extent or new entry, and we watch the ground itself with Sentinel-2 satellite imagery for digging, building or new cultivation. A real person reviews every alert and explains it in English and Telugu, by email and WhatsApp. No documents and no power of attorney: just your village and khata or LP number.

Whichever route you choose, keep your title deeds, a recent certified 1-B and a dated online copy together.
