Chances are, if you own \u2014 or are about to buy \u2014 land in Bihar, someone has already mentioned “Bhulekh Bihar” or “bihar bhumi” to you. It’s not complicated once you know what it means: it’s the state’s online system for land records. You no longer need to queue up at the anchal (revenue office) just to confirm who owns a plot, pull up a jamabandi, or check a khata khesra number \u2014 your phone does the job.<\/p>\n
This guide covers the whole process \u2014 searching bhumi jankari, reading a khatiyan, checking your ROR, pulling up a bhu naksha, paying bhu lagan, and tracking a mutation (dakhil kharij) request. All the steps here follow the current version of the official portal, biharbhumi.bihar.gov.in<\/a>, so you shouldn’t run into mismatched menus or old screenshots along the way.<\/p>\n {{auto_toc}}<\/p>\n Bhulekh Bihar is essentially the digital record of who owns what land across the state \u2014 plot maps, ownership documents, revenue history \u2014 maintained by the Bihar Revenue and Land Reforms Department. Anyone can look up a plot’s khata or khesra number, its land type, and whether there’s a dispute attached to it, and none of it costs a rupee.<\/p>\n This didn’t happen by accident. Back in 2008, the central government launched the National Land Records Modernization Programme specifically to move land records out of dusty paper registers and onto searchable databases, state by state. In Bihar, the public-facing side of this is called “bhumi jankari” (land information), while the ownership register itself goes by “jamabandi.”<\/p>\n Here’s something that trips a lot of people up \u2014 Bihar doesn’t run this through one single website.
