Land record online: Check if your property is in your name in minutes
Bought a plot or property recently? A registration deed alone may not be enough to confirm that the government land record has been updated. Here is how you can check your land record online using your mobile phone.
Buying land or a plot is a major financial decision, but getting the property registered is not always the end of the process. After the land registration, it is important to check whether your name has also been updated in the government land record. This process is generally known as mutation or name transfer. The good news is that in many states, basic land records can now be accessed online instead of requiring repeated visits to government offices. Depending on the state, you may be able to search the record using details such as your district, tehsil, village, khasra number, khata number or owner's name.
WHY CHECK YOUR LAND RECORD AFTER REGISTRATION?
Many property buyers assume that once the registration is complete, the land is automatically updated in their name everywhere. However, registration and mutation are separate processes.
Registration records the legal transaction of buying and selling the property. Mutation, on the other hand, updates the name of the new owner in the revenue record. So, after buying property, it is important to check whether the mutation or name-transfer process has been completed.
HOW TO CHECK LAND RECORD ONLINE
You can check the land record online through your state's official land-record or Bhulekh website. The exact website and process vary from state to state.
Look for options such as Bhulekh, Jamabandi, Khasra-Khatauni or Land Records. You may then need to select your district, tehsil and village.
Depending on the state portal, you can search for the property using:
- Khasra number
- Khata number
- Owner's name
Once the required details are entered, the available land record can appear on the screen.
WHAT IF THE OLD OWNER'S NAME STILL APPEARS?
If you have completed the property registration but the old owner's name is still showing in the online land record, it may mean that the mutation process has not been completed yet. In some cases, updating the record can also take time.
Check the status of your name-transfer or mutation application. If required, contact the concerned tehsil or revenue department for clarification.
REGISTRATION VS MUTATION: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
Registration is the legal documentation of the property transaction. It records the sale between the buyer and seller.
Mutation, also called name transfer or namantaran, updates the government revenue record to show the new owner.
This means completing the registration does not mean you should stop checking the revenue record. The name should also be updated through the applicable mutation process.
KEEP THESE THINGS IN MIND
Always check your land record online through the official website of the concerned state government. India's Department of Land Resources is also working on digitising and modernising land records through the Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP).
Avoid entering Aadhaar details, property documents or other personal information on unknown websites. If the online record contains an incorrect name, khasra number or other property detail, contact the relevant revenue department to get it checked.
