Protecting your land in Uttar Pradesh, from wherever you live.

In Uttar Pradesh your land is recorded in the khatauni, which lists every gata (khasra) number held under your khata. Many NRI and Gulf-working families from UP own small, scattered plots in villages where the lekhpal and the village know far more about the ground than anyone abroad. Because a bigha is a different size from district to district, always go by the hectare figure in the record.

What to watch for

Common risks for NRI land in Uttar Pradesh

  • Small scattered plots that are easy to ‘absorb’ into a neighbour’s field over a few seasons.
  • Dakhil-kharij after a death being done in favour of only some heirs, leaving others off the khatauni.
  • Village land near expanding towns (Noida, Lucknow, Prayagraj, Varanasi outskirts) being plotted and sold by colonisers without the owner’s knowledge.
  • Boundary disputes that can only be settled by a formal measurement, which requires someone to be present or represented.

What helps

Practical tips

  • Download the khatauni from UP Bhulekh and check that every heir is recorded after a death in the family.
  • UP offers online grievance filing through its public grievance system, so you can raise a revenue complaint from abroad and track it.
  • If a boundary is disputed, ask a local lawyer about a formal demarcation (paimaish) through the revenue department.

How it works

Three minutes to set up. Then we keep watch.

  1. Step 1

    Tell us where your land is

    Drop a pin on the map, or give the village and the survey, khasra, gat or dag number. About three minutes. No documents to upload, no power of attorney, no visits.

  2. Step 2

    We watch it on two fronts

    Every clear satellite image of your plot is compared with its own history — crops, digging, new building. And in 19 states we read your official land record every week for new owners or mutations.

  3. Step 3

    A person tells you what it means

    Each month a short update lands in your email. If something changes, our team checks it first, then explains it on WhatsApp or a call — in English or your home language.

Questions

Uttar Pradesh: questions NRIs ask

The khasra (gata) number identifies a single field; the khatauni is the account that lists who owns which khasra numbers. One khatauni entry can cover several scattered fields owned by the same family.

Use UP Bhulekh. Choose your district, tehsil and village, then search by khata number, gata number or owner name to view the khatauni. For a certified copy, a local contact can collect one from the tehsil or a Jan Seva Kendra.
