To check Delhi land records online, open Indraprastha Bhulekh (dlrc.delhi.gov.in), choose Khasra Khatauni Details, click View Records against your tehsil, then pick your village and khata number. The khatauni opens on screen, free and with no login, and it loads fine from outside India.
The catch is coverage. Delhi's portal lists only a limited set of revenue villages, so this guide starts with how to tell whether yours is there, then walks through every screen and column, and ends with what to do if an entry changes behind your back.
What is the Delhi khatauni, and what does it prove?
The khatauni is Delhi's record of rights for agricultural land in its revenue villages. Each khata (holding account) lists the recorded holders, their shares, and every khasra (field number) held under that account, with its area.
Most Delhi village land is governed by the Delhi Land Reforms Act, 1954, which is why the portal calls this record "Khata details under DLR Act". A few villages still keep a jamabandi under the older Punjab Land Revenue (PLR) Act instead.
What it proves: who the revenue department records as holder, with what share, over which khasras. What it does not prove: ownership on its own. Title comes from a registered sale deed, gift deed, will, partition or court decree. Our khasra, khatauni and jamabandi explainer compares the records across states.
Which Delhi land is on the portal?
When we checked in October 2026, the DLR Act page listed about a dozen tehsils across districts such as South West (Matiala, Najafgarh), North East, Outer North (Narela, Bawana, Mundka) and others, each with a short list of villages. The PLR Act page listed five more: Chak Chilla in Kalkaji tehsil and Bakoli, Hamid Pur, Palla and Tajpur Kalan in Narela.
If your land is a colony plot, a flat or in a lal dora (old village abadi) area, it usually will not have a khatauni here. Your registered deed and municipal tax records are the evidence there. See the Delhi state page for more on these cases.
How do you check your khatauni on Bhulekh Delhi, step by step?
The whole flow is four screens and has no CAPTCHA. Keep your khata number handy; an old copy, a sale deed or a property tax receipt from the village often shows it.
Open the khatauni page
Go to dlrc.delhi.gov.in and choose Khasra Khatauni Details (under DLR Act). If your village is one of the five PLR Act villages, choose Jamabandi Details (under PLR Act) instead.Find your tehsil and click View Records
The page shows a table of districts and tehsils, with the villages each covers and the tehsildar's contact. Find your village in the list and click View Records on that row.Pick the khata type and village
Choose the khata type: Land held by Bhumidars for most private land, or one of the Gaon Sabha and asami options. Then choose your village.Search by khata number
Set the search to By Khata No. The khata list for that village and type loads. Pick your number.Open and save the khatauni
Press View Khata Details. Save the page as a PDF or screenshot with today's date in the file name. That copy is your baseline.
If your khata is not in the list, switch the khata type. A khata held from the Gaon Sabha will not show under Bhumidars.
How do you read every column of the Delhi khatauni?
The top of the page names the district, tehsil, village, khata number and the base year of the record, such as 2013-2014. Below it sit three blocks: owners on the left, fields on the right, remarks underneath. The example uses invented names.
| Part | What it shows | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Base year | The settlement year the record is built on | 2013-2014 |
| Khata no. | The holding account in the village | 7 |
| Owner name | Each holder, as written by the revenue staff | Owner A |
| Relation and father | Son of, daughter of or wife of, with the father's or husband's name | son of B |
| Address | Where the holder lives, often just "resident of the village" | resident of village |
| Share | Each holder's fraction of the whole khata | 1/2 |
| Mustatil (rect) | The consolidation square the field lies in | 32 |
| Khasra no. | The field (killa) number inside that square | 18/2, written 32//18/2 |
| Area | Size in bigha-biswa | 0-14 (0 bigha 14 biswa) |
| Remarks | Intkal (mutation) numbers and other notes | Intkal no. 4521 dated 01-02-2020 |
A few reading tips:
- Shares are of the whole khata, not of one field. Two holders at 1/2 each jointly hold every khasra listed.
- Mustatil//killa is how consolidated villages number land: 32//18/2 is killa 18/2 inside square 32. Fields in unconsolidated areas show just a khasra number.
- Bigha-biswa. 20 biswa make a bigha. In Delhi a bigha is usually reckoned at about 1,008 square yards, close to 4.8 bigha to an acre, but confirm with the record room before relying on it. Our land unit converter helps with the sums.
- Remarks is where change shows up first. An intkal number with a date means a mutation touched this khata.
How do you get a certified copy of a Delhi khatauni?
The portal itself says its information is displayed for informational purposes only and points you to the revenue offices for more. So for a bank, court or registration, you need a certified copy from the tehsil that keeps your village's record.
The DLRC tehsil table names the tehsildar for each group of villages, with an office address and contact. Apply there, in person or through a family member, with the village, khata and khasra numbers. Fees and turnaround are set by the revenue department and can change, so ask the office before you go.
For older records, or a copy of the mutation file behind an intkal, the tehsil record room is the place. If a request stalls, an RTI usually moves it; our RTI application generator drafts one in minutes.
What goes wrong on Bhulekh Delhi, and how do you fix it?
- Your village is not listed. Coverage is partial. Check both the DLR Act and PLR Act pages, and check the neighbouring tehsil, since Delhi's districts and tehsils have been reorganised more than once. If it is genuinely not online, ask the tehsil office.
- The khata list is empty. You probably picked the wrong khata type. Most private land is Land held by Bhumidars.
- Names are in Hindi. The record is in Devanagari. Search by khata number rather than by name.
- The page times out. It runs on full-page reloads. Go back to the tehsil table and start again rather than pressing refresh.
- The record looks old. The base year is the settlement year, not the date of the last change. Later changes appear as intkal entries in remarks.
How do you spot a suspicious change, and who do you contact?
Compare today's khatauni with your saved copy. Four changes need attention: a new name among the owners, a changed share, a khasra added or missing, and a new intkal number in remarks that nobody in the family applied for.
Then act in this order:
- Save evidence. Download the page and note the intkal number and date.
- Ask the tehsil office. Request a copy of the mutation order and the documents behind it, such as a sale deed or power of attorney.
- Object or appeal. If the mutation is pending, file a written objection with the tehsildar. If it has been sanctioned, an appeal usually lies to a higher revenue officer, and time limits are short. A local property lawyer can confirm the route.
- Check the deed side. A forged sale is registered before it reaches the khatauni. Our guide on how to check if your land has been sold covers the registration search.
Our explainer on mutation, intkal and dakhil-kharij shows how a mutation moves from entry to sanction.
How do you manage Delhi land records from abroad?
Delhi is one of the easier portals for NRIs: no login, no CAPTCHA, no Indian mobile number, and it loads from abroad. Check it yourself, from anywhere, on a schedule.
What needs someone on the ground is the tehsil office: certified copies, mutation files and objections. A trusted relative can collect copies and ask questions with the village and khata number. They need no power of attorney for that, and you should never sign a general one just to make errands easier.
How do you keep watch on your Delhi khatauni?
Checking by hand works if you never miss a month. The risk is the gap: a forged sale can be registered and mutated while nobody is looking, and in Delhi a vacant plot can be fenced or built on within weeks.
PlotPehra checks your DLRC khatauni every week and flags any change in owners, shares, khasras, area or intkal entries. A real person reviews each alert and explains it in English and Hindi by email and WhatsApp. For the five PLR Act villages, our weekly record check does not cover the jamabandi page yet, so please check that one by hand. We also watch the land itself in Sentinel-2 satellite images everywhere in Delhi, so clearing, digging or a new structure at field or building scale shows up even when the paper has not changed. No documents and no power of attorney, ever.
Find your village on DLRC today, save a dated khatauni, and read the remarks box every time you check. That one box is where a mutation behind your back first shows up.

The portal lists only some revenue villages, grouped by tehsil. Urbanised villages, lal dora areas and colony plots are often not there at all. Ask the tehsildar's office for the record, or rely on your registered deed and property tax records for colony plots.
No. The portal says its information is displayed for informational purposes only. For official use, get a certified copy from the tehsil office that holds your village's record.
Under the Delhi Land Reforms Act, 1954, a bhumidhar holds the land with full rights of a tenure-holder, while an asami holds it under someone else, often the Gaon Sabha. The portal splits khatas by these types, so pick the right one before you search.
Yes. The khatauni is a public record and the portal needs no login, so anyone with the village and khata number can look it up. They do not need a power of attorney.
