What Is Banglarbhumi Khatian & Plot Information?
Banglarbhumi is West Bengal's government portal for land records and related services. Its property-search facility helps users locate available records for a selected mouza.
A Khatian, also called a Record of Rights or RoR, contains recorded information about landholders and their interests in land. A Plot number, commonly called a Dag number, identifies a land parcel within the relevant mouza and survey record.
These numbers answer different questions. A Khatian search starts with a landholder's record, while a Plot search starts with a parcel of land. Neither number is useful without checking that the location and record type match your documents.
Khatian Number and Plot Number: What Is the Difference?
| Term | What it refers to | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Khatian number | A reference for a Record of Rights | Recorded landholder, associated plots and interests |
| Plot or Dag number | A reference for a particular land parcel | Associated records, recorded area and classification |
| Mouza | The revenue area in which the record is maintained | Correct mouza within the selected block |
| J.L. number | Jurisdiction List number associated with a mouza | Match it with your documents when available |
One Khatian may include more than one plot. A plot may also be associated with more than one recorded holder or share. Avoid assuming that every plot belongs to only one person.
Example: If your document lists Khatian 125 and Plot 308, choose Khatian search to look up record 125. Choose Plot search to inspect parcel 308. These are illustrative numbers; always use the identifiers from your own documents.
Details to Keep Ready Before Searching
Prepare the following information:
- District name.
- Block name.
- Mouza name and J.L. number, if available.
- Khatian number or Plot/Dag number.
- The relevant survey or record type, where specified in your documents.
Use an existing land-record copy or the property schedule in your documents to check these details. A postal address alone may not tell you which mouza to select.
Enter any verification code displayed on the portal. If the service requires an account, complete the official sign-in process. Do not enter a person's name in a field labelled Khatian Number or Plot Number.
How to Check Khatian and Plot Information Online
 |
| Use the correct location and Khatian or Plot number when searching land records online. |
1. Open the government portal
Visit the official Banglarbhumi portal. Check the domain before entering account details. You should be using the government website, rather than a search advertisement or an unrelated login page.
2. Find Know Your Property
Look for Know Your Property, the property-record search facility. Follow any sign-in or verification prompt displayed by the portal. Menu placement may change, so use the current screen labels.
3. Select district, block and mouza
Choose the location in that order. After selecting a district, check the available blocks; after selecting a block, choose the correct mouza.
Compare the selection with your documents before proceeding. Similar place names can lead you to an unrelated record.
4. Choose Khatian search or Plot search
Select the option that matches the number you have:
- Search by Khatian: Enter the Khatian number to look up the corresponding record.
- Search by Plot: Enter the Plot or Dag number to look up the parcel.
If additional record categories appear, select the category applicable to your documents. Do not choose an unfamiliar category simply to obtain a result.
5. Complete verification and view the result
Enter the captcha or complete any other verification requested. Use the displayed search or view button, then allow the result to load.
Check the location and number in the result before reading the remaining details. For a more focused walkthrough, see our Khatian number and Plot number search guide.
How to Read the Search Result
Depending on the record and search option, the result may include a recorded landholder's name, Khatian references, plot numbers, area, classification, shares or remarks. Not every result will display the same fields.
| Field | How to review it |
|---|---|
| Recorded name | Compare the spelling and associated details with your documents |
| Khatian and Plot references | Confirm that both relate to the property you intended to search |
| Land area | Read the unit shown; distinguish total plot area from an individual share |
| Land classification | Note the recorded category without assuming it permits a proposed use |
| Share or share area | Check whether the figure concerns one holder or the whole plot |
| Remarks | Read them alongside the main entries; seek clarification if unclear |
Do not treat a matching name alone as confirmation that you found the correct property. Review the location, identifiers and other entries together.
Can You Search by Owner Name or Mobile Number?
The Khatian/Plot workflow described here uses land-record numbers and location details. Do not assume that an owner's name, Aadhaar number or mobile number can replace those identifiers.
If you do not know the Khatian number but have the Plot number, try the Plot search and inspect the available associated information. If both numbers are missing, check your existing documents or ask the relevant land office how to identify the record.
A mobile number used for account verification serves a different purpose from a land-record search field. Use a name-based search only if the official service explicitly offers that option and explains its requirements.
Khatian Download, Porcha and Certified RoR Copies
 |
| A printed reference copy is different from an officially issued or certified RoR document. |
People searching for Banglarbhumi Khatian download or West Bengal Porcha online may want either a reference copy or an officially issued document. First decide which one you need.
If the result page supports printing, you may use its print option or your browser's print facility. Where supported, Save as PDF can preserve the displayed information for personal reference. Preview the output because wide tables may be cut off.
Saving a webpage as a PDF does not itself make that file a certified document. For an official copy, use the applicable record-request service and check its current requirements, fees and delivery instructions.
Our Banglarbhumi ROR Request guide explains the separate request process. Keep any application reference and payment acknowledgement supplied during an official request.
RS and LR Plot Information: When Is It Relevant?
Older and newer documents may refer to different survey records. RS refers to Revisional Settlement, while LR refers to Land Reforms records.
Do not assume that a plot number in an older document will be identical in a later record. Where the records differ, consult the relevant RS–LR information and verify the correspondence for the same location.
See our RS–LR Plot Information guide for this related lookup. A failed search with an old number is a reason to investigate further, rather than assume that the property record has disappeared.
Does Plot Information Show the Land Boundary?
A table of plot details and a map serve different purposes. Recorded area, classification and holder information do not by themselves show the full physical boundary on the ground.
If you need the spatial layout, check the applicable plot-map or mouza-map service. For a boundary disagreement or a transaction, ask the relevant authority or qualified professional what survey and documents are required. Avoid estimating boundaries from an area figure alone.
Common Search Problems and What to Check
| Problem | Suggested next step |
|---|---|
| No record found | Recheck district, block, mouza, number and record category |
| Captcha rejected | Enter the latest displayed code carefully; refresh it if needed |
| Session expired | Reopen the official portal and sign in again if prompted |
| District or mouza list is empty | Allow the page to load; retry later or test another browser |
| Old number gives no result | Check whether you need the corresponding RS or LR reference |
| Name or area appears different | Compare documents and request clarification from the land office |
| Recent change is not visible | Check the related application separately and retain its reference |
These are troubleshooting checks, not confirmed explanations for every error. A blank result alone does not establish that a record is invalid or has been deleted.
Using Banglarbhumi on a Mobile Phone
Open the portal in a browser and follow the same location-and-number search process. If a table extends beyond the screen, try landscape orientation. Desktop-site mode may help where controls are difficult to use.
Check that all columns are visible before saving or sharing a reference copy. If the mobile layout remains difficult, use a computer. Avoid installing an unfamiliar app merely because its name includes “Banglarbhumi.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Banglarbhumi.net the official land-records website?
No. This website publishes independent guides. Government searches and applications should be completed through the official portal.
Is a Dag number the same as a Plot number?
Dag number is commonly used for a plot identifier. Match it with the correct mouza and survey record.
Can I check records without a Khatian number?
You can use the Plot search when you know the relevant Plot number and location. If neither number is available, first identify the record from your documents or with help from the land office.

No. We cannot access or modify government records. Contact the relevant land office or use the appropriate official service for your issue.
What should I check before relying on a result?

The most useful approach to Banglarbhumi Khatian & Plot Information is to start with the correct location and identifier, read the result carefully, and distinguish an online reference from the official document required for your purpose.
