What is Bhulekh UK?
Bhulekh UK is a digital system created by the Uttarakhand government to store and manage all land records for the state. The word Bhulekh comes from two Hindi words — Bhu meaning land and Lekh meaning records. So Bhulekh simply means land records.
Before this portal was created, all land records in Uttarakhand were kept in paper files at local Tehsil offices. People had to visit the office, wait in queues and pay for getting copies. The whole process was slow and sometimes not transparent. Bhulekh UK solved this by putting everything online. Now anyone can check land records from their phone or computer without visiting any government office.
The portal was built under the National Land Records Modernization Programme which is now called the Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme or DILRMP. It is managed by the Revenue Department of the Uttarakhand government.
What is Devbhoomi Bhulekh and Is It the Same as Bhulekh UK?
Yes. Devbhoomi Bhulekh is another name for the same portal. Devbhoomi is a common term used for Uttarakhand which means the land of the gods. So Devbhoomi Bhulekh just means Uttarakhand land records. Both names point to the same official portal at bhulekh.uk.gov.in.
Some people also search for UK Bhulekh, Bhulekh Uttarakhand or Uttarakhand land records. All of these take you to the same place.
What Can You Check on Bhulekh UK?
Here is what the portal gives you access to:
- Khasra or Gata number details — survey number information for a specific plot
- Khatauni — a document showing ownership and land holding details
- Owner name search — find land held by any person using their name
- Registry number search — verify records using the computerised registration number
- Village map or Sajra Naksha — geographic layout of a village with all plots marked
- Mutation or Dakhil Kharij status — check if an ownership transfer has been recorded
- Swamitva status — check property card status under the Swamitva scheme for residential areas in villages
All of this is available 24 hours a day. No login is required for regular citizens.

What is Khasra Number and What is Khatauni in Uttarakhand?
These two terms confuse a lot of people. Here is the simplest way to understand them.
Difference Between Khasra and Khatauni
|
Term |
What It Means |
|
Khasra Number |
A unique number given to each individual plot of land in a village. Like a plot ID. |
|
Khatauni |
A record that shows all the land held by one person or family. One Khatauni can contain multiple Khasra numbers. |
|
Khata Number |
The account number linked to a Khatauni record. |
|
Gata Number |
Same as Khasra number — used in some districts of Uttarakhand. |
So when you want details of one specific plot, search by Khasra number. When you want all land owned by a person, look at their Khatauni using the Khata number.
How to Check Bhulekh UK District Wise
Bhulekh UK covers all 13 districts of Uttarakhand. Here are the districts you can search:
- Dehradun
- Haridwar
- Nainital
- Almora
- Pauri Garhwal
- Tehri Garhwal
- Uttarkashi
- Chamoli
- Rudraprayag
- Pithoragarh
- Champawat
- Bageshwar
- Udham Singh Nagar
For each district you need to further select the Tehsil and then the Village before searching. If your village is not showing in the list it may mean the records for that village have not been fully digitised yet. In that case visit your local Tehsil office.
How to Check Village Map and Naksha on Bhulekh UK
The Sajra Naksha is the village map that shows the geographic layout of every plot in the village. Here is how to access it:
- Go to bhulekh.uk.gov.in
- Click on Sajra Map or Naksha from the menu
- Select your District, Tehsil and Village
- A map of the village will load showing all survey numbers
- Click on any plot number to see the owner and land details linked to it
This map is useful when you want to see the exact shape, size and location of a plot before buying land. It helps you verify that the land shown on the map matches what the seller is showing you on the ground.
What is Swamitva Status on Bhulekh UK?
Swamitva is a central government scheme launched in 2020 to give property rights to people living in rural areas of India. Under this scheme residential plots in villages are surveyed using drones and property cards are given to the rightful owners.
You can check your Swamitva status on the Bhulekh UK portal by clicking on the Swamitva Status option on the homepage. Enter your district and village details to see whether the drone survey has been completed for your area and whether your property card has been issued.
This is especially important if you are a rural homeowner who wants to use your home as collateral for a bank loan. A Swamitva property card is recognised by banks as ownership proof.

E Registration Uttarakhand — How It Connects to Bhulekh
