Banglarbhumi 2026: How to Check Land Records and Khatian Status in West Bengal

Banglarbhumi is West Bengal’s official digital gateway for land records, and in 2026, it remains the single most important digital tool for every landowner, homebuyer, and property investor in the state. Managed by the Land & Land Reforms and Refugee Relief & Rehabilitation (L&LR & RRR) Department, Government of West Bengal, the portal brings Khatian details, plot information, RS-LR records, mutation status, land maps, and revenue services into one centralized system, accessible 24/7, without visiting a government office or depending on a middleman for information that should always have been publicly accessible.

What Is Banglarbhumi and Who Can Use It?

The Banglarbhumi portal at banglarbhumi.gov.in is West Bengal’s state-managed land records and revenue administration platform. It covers over 42,000 Mouzas across all districts and serves a wide range of users, landowners, first-time homebuyers, agricultural land sellers, legal professionals, financial institutions, and NRIs performing due diligence from abroad.

Key Land Record Terms You Must Understand First

Most search failures on the portal happen not because of a technical issue, but because users misunderstand three foundational terms. Clarifying these before you search saves significant time and prevents “Record Not Found” errors.

• Khatian Number (RoR): The master ownership record ID. It covers the owner’s name, land area, classification, tax data, and may include multiple plots. All searches should begin here.
• Plot Number (Dag Number): Identifies one specific land parcel. One Khatian can hold several Dag numbers. Interchanging the two is the single most common reason searches fail.
• Mouza: The revenue village unit, not your postal address or familiar village name. Selecting the wrong Mouza from the district-block dropdown is the most frequent mistake first-time users make.
• RS vs LR Records: RS (Revisional Survey / Sabek Dag) are older survey-era records; LR (Land Reforms / Hal Dag) are the current updated records. The portal allows both RS-to-LR and LR-to-RS matching.

How to Check Khatian and Plot Information on Banglarbhumi

Verifying ownership before any property transaction is the most important step a buyer can take. The process on the portal is straightforward when the correct identifiers are in hand.

1. Visit banglarbhumi.gov.in and log in using your registered mobile number and password. Basic Khatian viewing does not require a login, but downloading records does.
2. Click “Know Your Property” from the top navigation menu on the homepage.
3. Select your District, then Block, then Mouza from the sequential dropdowns. Take care to select the correct revenue Mouza, not the postal village name.
4. Choose your search type, Khatian Number or Plot (Dag) Number, and enter the value accurately.
5. Solve the captcha and click View. The record displays owner name, land area, plot numbers, current land classification, and ownership status.

Important: Always verify land records as close to your actual transaction date as possible. A record downloaded weeks before a purchase does not protect against ownership changes that occurred after that download.

How to Check Mutation (Namjari) Status

Mutation is the process of updating government ownership records after a property sale, inheritance, or gift transfer. An unmutated property — where the revenue records still show a previous owner after a transfer, creates title complications that the buyer inherits along with the property.

1. Log in → Citizen Services → Mutation Status
2. Choose Case-Wise Search or Application Number Search
3. Enter District, Block, Mouza, and your Case Number or Application Number
4. Click Search to view the real-time mutation processing status

The ownership record should reflect a complete, unbroken chain of mutation updates from the original holder to the current seller. Any gap in this chain requires resolution before purchase.

How to Check RS-LR Plot Information

This service is particularly important when your existing documents reference older RS (Sabek Dag) plot numbers that need to be matched with current LR (Hal Dag) numbers in the land record system.

1. Log in → Citizen Services → RS-LR Information
2. Select District, Block, and Mouza
3. Choose direction: RS → LR (old to current) or LR → RS (current to old)
4. Enter the plot number, solve the captcha, and click View

The result displays both RS and LR numbers side by side, allowing buyers to confirm that the plot described in old sale deeds corresponds correctly to the currently registered land parcel.

Banglarbhumi Portal vs Traditional Land Record System

How to Download e-Porcha (Certified Copy of Land Record)

e-Porcha is the officially digitally-signed Record of Rights, legally valid for home loan applications, court proceedings, and property registration offices.

1. Log in → Citizen Services → GRN / Application Search
2. Enter your GRN Number or Application Number
3. Complete the captcha and submit
4. View and download the certified e-Porcha as a PDF

Basic Khatian viewing is free. Downloading a certified e-Porcha copy costs between ₹20 to ₹50 depending on district and service type, payable online through the portal.

Jomir Tothya App vs Banglarbhumi Website

Use the Jomir Tothya app for fast on-the-go checks. For mutation applications, e-Porcha, or RS-LR searches, the full website is the better choice.

Common Mistakes to Avoid While Using Banglarbhumi

1. Entering incorrect Mouza details is the leading cause of failed searches. The revenue Mouza and the familiar village name are frequently different, always verify the correct Mouza from official land documents rather than from verbal information or assumptions.
2. Not verifying mutation status independently is a significant gap in many buyers’ due diligence. A property whose last two ownership transfers remain unmutated in revenue records carries title risk that a basic Khatian view will not make immediately obvious.
3. Relying on outdated downloaded records is a risk that many buyers overlook. A Khatian printout from three months ago does not protect against ownership changes or encumbrances added after that date.
4. Ignoring land classification carries serious consequences. Agricultural land, homestead land, and government-assigned land each carry different rules around purchase eligibility and permissible use.
5. Confusing RS and LR plot numbers causes buyers to believe they are purchasing one parcel when the current registered parcel is different. Always use the RS-LR matching service to confirm continuity between old documents and current records.

Conclusion

Banglarbhumi allows for all the essential land record services - verifying ownership for land sale or purchase, tracking the status of the mutation application for a past sale or purchase, getting a certified e-Porcha for a home loan - to all be done in one place, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without having to deal with a middleman to perform the property transactions that we have had to do in the past due to strict land administration policies in West Bengal.

In 2026, Banglarbhumi has created a very transparent land administration system by allowing users to verify land records correctly, verify the correct stages of the mutation chain, verify the land classification of the property they are purchasing, etc., which is what makes the property transactions secure versus having inherited legal complications with the transactions. Save banglarbhumi.gov.in, have your Khatian number and Dag number available, and use them as your first step rather than last, in all future property decisions.
