Step-by-Step Guide to Check Bhulekh Land Records in Bihar

Bhulekh Land Records in Bihar are now digitized, no Anchal office visits, no queues, no middlemen. Whether you're a farmer checking ancestral land, a buyer doing due diligence before a sale deed, or a legal professional pulling a Record of Rights, the Bihar Bhumi portal at biharbhumi.bihar.gov.in handles everything.

This guide walks you through every step, from Jamabandi to Dakhil Kharij to Bhu Lagaan, with all portal links and what to keep handy.

What Is the Bhulekh Bihar Portal?

The Bhulekh Bihar portal is the official digital land records system run by the Department of Revenue and Land Reforms, Bihar. It gives citizens 24×7 free access to ownership data, plot maps, mutation status, and land tax payment, all in one place. Before this, getting a Jamabandi copy meant multiple office visits and, often, unofficial "facilitation" fees. The portal cut all of that out.

Key Terms You Should Know Before You Start

Note: In Bihar, Khasra is locally called Khesra and Khatauni is referred to as Jamabandi. Keep that in mind when navigating the portal it does matter.

Official Portals: All in One Place

Step 1: Check Apna Khata (Record of Rights)

This is the most-used feature on the Bihar Bhumi portal and honestly, it's pretty straightforward once you know the flow.

1. Go to biharbhumi.bihar.gov.in and click "Apna Khata Dekhen"
2. A map of Bihar opens and select your District
3. Choose your Circle (Anchal)
4. Select your Mauza (village)
5. Search by Khata number, Khasra number, or owner's name
6. Click "Search Account", full land details appear on screen
7. Hit "View" to read your complete ROR, then download or print as PDF

Pro Tip: Don't have your Khata or Khasra number? Use the Bhumi Jankari portal at bhumijankari.bihar.gov.in and search by the owner's name directly.

Step 2: View Jamabandi Panjee (Register II)

1. On the Bihar Bhumi homepage, click "View Jamabandi Register"
2. Select your District and Zone (Rajaswa Kshetra), then click "Proceed"
3. Choose Halka and Mouza from the dropdowns
4. The Register II details load on screen, save or download as PDF

One thing worth knowing: the portal lets you view your Jamabandi in all 22 official Indian languages, not just Hindi or English. Useful if you're dealing with records on behalf of someone who isn't comfortable in either.

Step 3: Check Bhu Naksha (Land Map) Online

1. Visit bhunaksha.bihar.gov.in
2. On the left panel, select District, Sub-Division, Circle, and Mauza

4. Click your plot (Khasra) number on the map, owner name and area details appear
5. Download the digitized land map from the Land Parcel Search section

Step 4: Apply for Mutation (Dakhil Kharij) Online

Mutation is the step most buyers skip and then regret. After any purchase or inheritance, ownership must be updated in government records, that's Dakhil Kharij. Skip it and the old owner's name stays, which causes problems later.

2. Register or log in using your mobile number and OTP
3. Fill in the mutation application with property details (Khata, Khasra, District, Mauza)

• Sale deed or inheritance document
• Identity proof (Aadhaar card)
• Previous land records
5. Submit and save your Case Number for tracking

Step 5: Check Mutation (Dakhil Kharij) Status

1. Visit biharbhumi.bihar.gov.in → click Dakhil Kharij Application Status
2. Select your District
3. Search using Case Number, Deed Number, or Plot details
4. Enter captcha and click Search — status shows up instantly

Alternatively, head to lrc.bih.nic.in → Online Mutation → enter your application number.

Step 6: Pay Land Tax (Bhu Lagaan) Online

2. You'll be redirected to bhulagan.bihar.gov.in
