Before purchasing land or applying for a property loan in India, verifying the land title is the single most important step to protect your investment. Until recently, this meant running between sub‑registrar offices and revenue departments, relying on manual records and intermediaries. Today, thanks to the Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP), most Indian states provide online access to Record of Rights (RoR), cadastral maps, and mutation details through dedicated land record portals.
This guide explains what digital land records are, how DILRMP and ULPIN (Bhu‑Aadhar) work, and gives you a state‑wise directory of official portals to check land records online in 2026.
What Are Digital Land Records (DILRMP)?
The Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP) is a central sector scheme implemented across all states and union territories to modernize India’s land administration system.
Key objectives:
- Computerize land records and integrate textual (RoR) and spatial (cadastral maps) data.
- Minimize land/property disputes and improve transparency in land transactions.
- Move from a “presumptive” deed‑based system towards more conclusive, state‑verified titles over time.
Initially launched in 2008 and revamped as a 100% centrally funded scheme from 1 April 2016, DILRMP supports states in:
- Digitizing RoR and mutation registers.
- Linking land records with registration data and GIS maps.
- Introducing unique parcel IDs through ULPIN.
ULPIN or Bhu‑Aadhar: Unique Land Parcel ID
A major milestone under DILRMP is the Unique Land Parcel Identification Number (ULPIN), popularly called Bhu‑Aadhar.
- It is a 14‑digit alphanumeric or numeric code assigned to each land parcel based on its precise geo‑coordinates (latitude and longitude of parcel vertices).
- ULPIN gives every parcel a single, authoritative digital identity, reducing boundary disputes and easing integration across revenue, registration, and banking systems.
- As of 2025–26, most states have begun ULPIN roll‑out, with several crore parcels already covered under pilot and implementation phases.
In the long term, ULPIN is expected to be the backbone of an integrated national land information system, linking land records, registration, court cases, and cadastral maps.
State‑Wise Online Land Record Portals (2026)
Because land administration is a State List subject, each state has its own portal, naming conventions, and search parameters. Below is a consolidated, updated directory of major land record portals as of 2026.

How to Check Land Records Online
While the UI differs, the workflow is broadly similar across state portals.
- Identify the correct portal: Go to the official land record portal of the state where the property is located (for example, UP Bhulekh for Uttar Pradesh, Bhoomi for Karnataka, Banglarbhumi for West Bengal).
- Select location details: Choose the relevant District, Tehsil/Taluk, Hobli/Block, and Village/Mouza. Some portals also require Halkas or revenue circles.
- Enter search parameters (Depending on the state, you can search by):
- Survey Number / Plot Number / Gat Number
- Khasra / Khata / Khatauni Number
- Owner’s name (sometimes partially)
- ULPIN/Bhu‑Aadhar in pilot areas where enabled
- View and verify the record (Complete the captcha, hit “View” or “Fetch Details”. Check):
- Owner name(s) and share, father’s name, address
- Land area, classification (agricultural, non‑agricultural), irrigation status
- Whether the latest mutation entries match your sale deed or inheritance documents.
- Download digitally signed copy: Many portals now allow downloading digitally signed RoR or 7/12 extracts in PDF with a unique verification number and QR code. Use this for bank loans, legal scrutiny, and court submissions.
Key Land Documents Available Online
Record of Rights (RoR) / Jamabandi / 7/12
- The Record of Rights (RoR) is the primary ownership record containing land classification, area, cultivation, and possession details.
- Names vary by state: Jamabandi (Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan), Khatauni (UP), RTC/Pahani (Karnataka), 7/12 Satbara (Maharashtra), Khatiyan (Bihar, Odisha), etc.
- In Maharashtra, the 7/12 extract paired with 8A acts both as an ownership record and revenue ledger used for loans and legal verification.
Mutation Register / Mutation Status
- Mutation is the process of updating government land records after sale, gift, partition, or inheritance.
- Checking mutation status ensures that the RoR reflects the latest owner and prevents frauds where sale deeds are registered but mutation is pending, enabling multiple sales of the same land.
Cadastral Maps / Bhu‑Naksha
- Cadastral maps show exact parcel boundaries, neighboring plots, and survey numbers.
- Many states host these under Bhu‑Naksha or integrated GIS portals (e.g., Odisha, MP, Chhattisgarh).
- Cross‑verification of map dimensions with sale deed recitals helps detect encroachments and incorrect plot references.
Benefits of Verifying Land Titles Online
Digitized land records significantly improve transparency and reduce transaction risk:
- Eliminate middlemen and reduce dependency on manual revenue office searches.
- Provide 24×7 access from anywhere, including NRIs and out‑of‑state buyers.
- Enable faster due‑diligence for banks, NBFCs, and housing finance companies.
- Facilitate integration with registration systems, court case monitoring, and tax databases in the long run.
Legal developments:
- States like Maharashtra have granted full legal validity to digitally signed 7/12, 8A, and property card extracts, with a verification ID and QR code, replacing the need for manual revenue stamps.
- Under Section 65B of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, properly certified electronic records (with digital signatures) are admissible as secondary evidence in court, allowing digital RoRs and Khasras to support civil disputes and title suits.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How can I check my land registry online in India?
Visit the official land record portal of your state (e.g., UP Bhulekh, AnyRoR, Bhoomi, Banglarbhumi). Select your district, tehsil/taluk, and village, then search using your Khasra, Khatauni, Survey/Plot number, or owner name. The portal will display RoR details, and in many states you can download a digitally signed copy.
Are digital land records admissible in court?
Yes. Digital land records bearing valid digital signatures from competent authorities and downloaded through official portals are admissible as electronic evidence under Section 65B of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872. Courts increasingly accept digitally signed RoR, Khasra, and 7/12 extracts as secondary evidence, especially when accompanied by proper certification or server‑side verification.
What is ULPIN or Bhu‑Aadhar?
The Unique Land Parcel Identification Number (ULPIN), also known as Bhu‑Aadhar, is a unique 14‑digit ID assigned to each land parcel based on its geo‑coordinates. It functions like Aadhaar for land—creating a single, standardized identity for a parcel across land records, registration, and banking systems, and helping prevent boundary disputes and transaction fraud.
Can NRIs verify Indian land records from abroad?
Yes. Most state portals are accessible globally over the internet. NRIs can use the state Bhulekh/Bhoomi/AnyRoR portals to view RoR, mutation, and cadastral maps, and share digitally signed PDFs with banks or legal counsel for further due‑diligence.
Is portal information enough for buying land?
Portal data is a starting point, not a complete due‑diligence. Always combine it with:
- Encumbrance Certificate (EC) from the state registration/IGRS portal.
- Physical verification on ground and local enquiries.
- Legal opinion from a property lawyer, especially for large or disputed parcels.
