Pull your own land record: khasra and B1 in three steps

How to find the khasra and B-1 for a piece of land in Madhya Pradesh on the state's own portal, what each line on them means, and what they cannot tell you.

You can read the khasra and B-1 for land in Madhya Pradesh yourself, online, on the state's own land records portal, without signing in. Go to the address ending in mpbhulekh.gov.in, choose the district, tehsil and village, find the survey number or the holder's name, and read the record the tehsil works from.

Why pull it yourself

A printout from the seller is the record on the day it was printed, handed over by someone with an interest in the sale. The record itself is public, kept online and updated as entries change. Reading it yourself takes a few minutes, and you see what the revenue department sees.

Metal shelves in a dim stone room hold rows of old cloth-bound registers and bundles of papers tied with red tape, light falling from a barred window.
The same entries once lived only on shelves like these. Indori Zameen

Step 1: get the address right

This step matters more than the other two together. Search for "mp bhulekh" and the results fill with sites that look nearly identical to the government's. They are not the government's.

The state's portal lives under mpbhulekh.gov.in, and the land records service itself sits at the address webgis2.mpbhulekh.gov.in. Whatever comes in front, the address must end in .gov.in. If it ends in anything else, close the tab.

Step 2: find the record

On the portal's home page, the first tile is भू-अभिलेख (land record). Opening it brings up a short box with two choices: search the land record for a khasra, or get a digitally signed khasra copy for the current or previous year. To read the record, choose the search.

The search page offers two ways in.

If you already have an identifier, there are boxes for the land parcel ID, the ULPIN and the holder's Samagra number. The ULPIN is a 14-character alphanumeric identity the system gives each land parcel, based on its coordinates.

If you do not, which is the usual case, work down the place names:

  1. Choose the district (जिला).
  2. Choose the tehsil (तहसील).
  3. Choose the village (ग्राम), which the portal also lists by its LGD code.
  4. Then pick one of three ways to find the land: the holder's name (भूमिस्वामी नाम), the survey or block number (सर्वेक्षण / ब्लॉक संख्या), or the plot number (प्लॉट संख्या).
  5. Type the captcha and press विवरण देखें (view details).

The portal's plot number is a land-record number. Do not assume it is the number painted on a colony plot.

Step 3: read what it says

The khasra

The khasra is the record of the land itself. The portal's own description lists what it carries: the survey number, the holder's name, father's name and address, the land and its area, the soil type, the land revenue, the crop details and the source of irrigation. The record is kept by agricultural year.

Read it with the seller's papers beside you:

  • The name. Does the holder on the khasra match the seller exactly, and is anyone else named alongside?
  • The area. Does it match the area in the sale deed and the agreement?
  • The survey number. Is it the same number, without a sub-division you were not told about?
  • Every remark. Read the columns that look like bookkeeping. That is where restrictions and pending matters tend to sit.

The B-1

The B-1 is the holder-wise register of revenue collection, made every year. Where the khasra describes the land, the B-1 lists what a holder holds in that village. Use it to see whether the seller holds the land alone, and what else is recorded against the same holding.

The map

The home page also has a tile for भू-भाग नक्शा, the land parcel map, which shows the sheet the survey numbers sit on.

If something is missing

A recent sale or inheritance may not show yet. The portal's FAQ explains that a mutation is entered as a request, accepted or rejected by the tehsildar or naib tehsildar, and only then entered by the patwari, after which the updated record is generated. If the seller says the land came to them recently and the khasra still shows someone else, ask for the mutation order and the request number, which the portal lets you track.

When you need a certified copy

Reading the record is enough for checking. When you need to file it, with a bank, a court or a registry, you need a certified copy. The portal issues digitally certified copies of khasra, khatauni and map, for a fee, and these are admissible. This part needs an account. Choosing the digitally signed khasra copy takes you to a citizen sign-in page, where you sign in with a mobile number or email address and a password; a first-time user registers there with पंजीकरण (registration).

What the record cannot tell you

A khasra number tells you what the state has written down. It does not show you where that number sits on the real ground, what colony has grown up around it, or which zone of the master plan it falls in. That is a separate question, and it needs a map, not a register.

Every one of these fields has a number. The number does not tell you which one it is. Indori Zameen

Questions people ask

How to check khasra online in MP?

On the state's portal under mpbhulekh.gov.in, open the land record tile, choose the search, select district, tehsil and village, and find the land by survey number, holder's name or plot number.

What is B1 in MP land records?

B-1 is the holder-wise revenue collection register, prepared every year. It lists what a holder holds in that village, while the khasra describes the land itself.

Is MP Bhulekh free?

Viewing khasra details on the government portal does not need registration. A digitally certified copy for filing with a bank or court is issued for a fee and needs an account.

Why does the khasra still show the old owner's name?

A mutation is entered only after the tehsildar accepts the request and the patwari records it. Ask the seller for the mutation order and request number, which can be tracked on the portal.

Which is the official MP Bhulekh website?

The one whose address ends in mpbhulekh.gov.in; its land records service runs at webgis2.mpbhulekh.gov.in. Lookalike sites are not the government's.
