What is my land record called in my state?

Every state keeps a record of rights, but the name changes. In Punjab and Haryana it’s the jamabandi (a certified copy is called a fard); in Uttar Pradesh the khatauni; in Maharashtra and Gujarat the 7/12 extract; in Karnataka the RTC or pahani; in Tamil Nadu the patta and chitta; in West Bengal the khatian; in Rajasthan the jamabandi.

The official portals include PLRS in Punjab (jamabandi.punjab.gov.in), UP Bhulekh, Mahabhumi in Maharashtra, AnyROR in Gujarat, Apna Khata in Rajasthan, Bihar Bhumi, Bhoomi in Karnataka, Banglarbhumi in West Bengal, Meebhoomi in Andhra Pradesh, Bhu Bharati in Telangana (it replaced Dharani in April 2025) and Ente Bhoomi in Kerala.

Which number do I search with?

Most portals search by the plot’s identifier: khasra or gata number in the north, killa number within a mustatil in consolidated Punjab and Haryana villages, and survey number in the south and west. Many also let you search by khata or khewat number, or by owner name.

If you don’t know the number, an old sale deed, a previous record copy or a property tax receipt usually has it. A family member can also ask the patwari or village accountant.

What is mutation, and why does the local name matter?

Mutation updates the revenue record when land changes hands by sale, inheritance or gift. It’s called intkal in Punjab and Haryana, dakhil-kharij in UP and Bihar, and ferfar in Maharashtra, among other names.

Mutation is not proof of title by itself — it records who pays revenue and is treated as owner for revenue purposes. Still, an unexpected mutation in someone else’s name is a red flag worth acting on quickly.

Is an online copy enough?

An online copy is great for checking. For court, banks or sale, you’ll usually need a certified copy from the tehsil or an authorised centre, and some states now issue digitally signed copies online.

Check your record at least once or twice a year. Changes in the ownership or cultivator column are easy to miss from abroad and hard to undo once they’re old.

Questions people ask

Most states have an official portal you can use from anywhere. Choose district, tehsil and village, then search by khasra or survey number, khata number or owner name. This tool tells you which portal and number to use.

They are the same kind of document — the record of rights — in different states. Jamabandi is used in Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan, khatauni in Uttar Pradesh and 7/12 in Maharashtra and Gujarat.

An online record shows what the revenue record says, but it is not a title document. Ownership rests on your sale deed, will or other title documents, supported by the record. Use certified copies for official work.

Get a certified copy, check the mutation history for when it changed, and talk to a local property lawyer quickly. Objections and appeals against mutations often have time limits.
