Checking a land record in Himachal Pradesh used to mean a trip to the patwari, a request slip, and a wait that depended entirely on how busy the tehsil office was that week. Himbhoomi, the software system the Himachal Pradesh Revenue Department built with the National Informatics Centre, moved that process online, first as tehsil computer centres in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and later as a full public facing portal. Today a landowner in Kinnaur and a buyer in Shimla can pull up the same jamabandi from the same system, without either of them standing in a queue.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Most guides to Himbhoomi repeat the same handful of steps and stop there. This one goes further: it looks at what the actual e-Himbhoomi and Himbhoomi ROR portals show right now, names the specific sub-domains behind each service, and clears up why searches for ‘e himbhoomi’, ‘himbhoomi public interface’ and ‘MEGH services’ keep showing up as separate, confusing things when they are really doors into the same system.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

What Is Himbhoomi (e-Himbhoomi)?<\/b><\/h2>\r\n

Himbhoomi is the name of the land records computerisation software Himachal Pradesh’s Revenue Department built with the National Informatics Centre. It started as tehsil level computer centres that digitised jamabandi and shajra nasab registers district by district, and it has since grown into a set of connected web portals that citizens can use directly, without visiting a tehsil in person. e-Himbhoomi is simply the web address version of the same system, and MEGH is the citizen services layer inside it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Himachal Pradesh land records themselves go by two names: jamabandi, the current ownership and revenue record for a plot, and Fard, an older term for the same type of document. Both are searchable by khewat (account) number, khasra (plot) number, or khatauni (individual holding), and both ultimately come from the same Himbhoomi database regardless of which portal you search from.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Himbhoomi, e-Himbhoomi and MEGH: Same System, Different Doors<\/b><\/h2>\r\n

This is worth spelling out precisely, since it is the single most common point of confusion in search for this topic, and no competing article currently untangles it properly. e-Himbhoomi, at ehimbhoomi.nic.in, is not a separate system from MEGH. Its own homepage is literally titled ‘MEGH Services Himachal Pradesh.’ In other words, when you land on e-Himbhoomi, you are already inside MEGH; there is no second website to find.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

What trips people up is that MEGH itself links out to several different sub-domains depending on the task. Jamabandi and shajra nasab copies open on himbhoomilmk.nic.in, a page titled ‘Himbhoomi-ROR Distribution Through Public Interface,’ which explains the otherwise puzzling searches for ‘himbhoomi through public’ and ‘himbhoomi public interface.’ Bhu naksha, Tatima and Musavi maps open on a separate domain, bhunakshahp.nic.in. Demarcation requests currently route to rms.hp.gov.in, the Revenue Management System. Deed registration links out to ngdrshp.gov.in, the National Generic Document Registration System for Himachal Pradesh. Every one of these sits behind the same MEGH hub on e-Himbhoomi, so whichever link you click from there, you are still inside the same connected Himbhoomi ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Where the Himbhoomi Ecosystem Actually Lives Online<\/b><\/h2>\r\n

How to Check Himachal Pradesh Land Records (Jamabandi) Through Himbhoomi<\/b><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Every jamabandi search on Himbhoomi starts from the same public interface at himbhoomilmk.nic.in and asks for the same core location details, whether you already know your khasra number or not.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Go to the official portal, himachal.nic.in\/index.php?lang=1&dpt_id=13. At the bottom of the main page, you will find the option of \u2018View Land Record\u2019<\/strong>. Click on that option.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"himachal-pradesh-land-records\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Then, the portal will redirect you to a new page where you will be asked to enter the particulars regarding the land for which you are searching the record. The information that you need to enter includes tehsil, district, the village as well as the exact year of nakal jamabandi HP.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"nakal-jamabandi-hp\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Step 3:<\/strong> Next, you need to enter the\u00a0 code of captcha on the screen and then, click on the \u2018Ok\u2019 option.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Step 4:<\/strong> In cases, if you have earlier applied for the Himachal Pradesh land records information on the Himbhoomi portal, simply, enter the application number to get the information about the land.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Step 5:<\/strong> Now, you will need to fill in the information, such as khasra, khewat, and khatauni. Then, enter your details that include email address, contact details, and type in the captcha code, and then, click on the \u2018Ok\u2019 option.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"khasra-khewat-khatauni\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Step 6: <\/strong>Then, the portal will redirect you to a new page in which all the details of jamabandi Himachal will be on the screen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Jamabandi Himachal on Himbhoomi Mobile App<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

By following the footsteps of other states, Himachal Pradesh has already digitized its land records data and is keeping it updated for the citizens. Not only this, but the Himachal Pradesh government has also made the availability of land records to the citizens easy through their mobile application.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To get the Himachal Pradesh land records on your phone, visit the play store and then download the Himbhoomi app named as \u2018mHimBhoomi\u2019 application and access it on your mobile phone with ease.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Search Jamabandi Himachal by Owner Name<\/b><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you do not know the khasra or khewat number, the same public interface lets you search by the landowner’s name instead. Type the name in Hindi Unicode script and choose whether it should match at the beginning, the end, or anywhere within the recorded name, which is useful when you are unsure of the exact spelling used in the register.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Below steps through which you can check the circle rates in the villages of Himachal Pradesh.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Go to the official web portal of Himbhoomi. There you will find the options tab of \u2018View Circle Rates of your Village and Calculate Duties for Land Transaction\u2019. Click on this option tab.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"view-circle-rate-himbhoomi\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Then, enter the details that include the tehsil, district, village, type of area, patwari circle, and the other appropriate and required details asked by the portal. Now click on the \u2018Proceed\u2019 option.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"parameters-for-duty-calculation-himbhoomi\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Now, the portal will redirect you to a new page where circle rates of the village in Himachal Pradesh will be on the screen.<\/p>\r\n

Himbhoomi RoR: Jamabandi and Shajra Nasab Explained<\/b><\/h2>\r\n

The Record of Rights, or RoR, that Himbhoomi returns is really two connected documents. Jamabandi is the current ownership and revenue record for a plot, showing who holds rights over it today, what it is used for, and what revenue is due. Shajra nasab, sometimes written Shajra Nasb, is a genealogical style table showing how ownership passed from one holder to the next, which matters most in inheritance cases or when a chain of title needs to be traced further back than the current record alone shows.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Both documents are generated from the same himbhoomilmk.nic.in interface, and the mHimBhoomi app can pull up the same two records once you provide the khewat, khatauni or khasra number, or search the family or genealogy tree by name.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Bhu Naksha, Tatima and Musavi Maps on Himbhoomi<\/b><\/h2>\r\n

Map based records sit on a different domain from the jamabandi search, at bhunakshahp.nic.in, and cover three related but distinct products. Bhunaksha itself is the digitised cadastral map, showing plot shape, size and boundaries for villages where digitisation is complete. Tatima refers to a plot specific map extract used mainly during sale deed preparation for a Tatima registry. Musavi maps come in two stages, Settlement Musavi and Consolidation Musavi, reflecting the two different land survey and consolidation exercises the state has carried out over time.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

To use it, select your district, tehsil and village on bhunakshahp.nic.in, then click a specific plot to bring up its details, including geographic boundaries and the recorded owner’s name. Coverage depends on how far digitisation has progressed in that particular village, which the Map Digitization Status service on the ROR portal can confirm before you search.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Circle Rates in Himachal Pradesh Villages<\/b><\/h2>\r\n

Circle rates, the government fixed minimum property value used to calculate stamp duty, are currently available online for eight of Himachal Pradesh’s 12 districts. On the Revenue Department’s site, select ‘Circle Rates’ and choose your district and the applicable Sub-Registrar Office, or in some district interfaces, the tehsil, patwari circle and area type instead. Submitting the form brings up the rate table for that area, with an option to download it as a PDF for reference during a land transaction.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

MEGH Citizen Services on e-Himbhoomi<\/b><\/h2>\r\n

MEGH is where the transactional, request based side of Himbhoomi lives, as distinct from simple record lookups. Logging in to ehimbhoomi.nic.in currently surfaces these citizen facing services:<\/span><\/p>\r\n
