Accessing UP land records has always been complicated and time-consuming. People were often required to visit tehsil offices multiple times, depending heavily on middlemen, and dealing with delays, paperwork errors, and misinformation. This lack of transparency frequently resulted in disputes, fraudulent land sales, and difficulty verifying ownership before buying or selling a property. 

 

To address these challenges, the Government of Uttar Pradesh introduced UP Bhulekh. UP Bhulekh portal is a digitized land-records system designed to make land information easily accessible, accurate, and reliable.

 

This blog will walk you through what the UP Bhulekh portal is, the services it offers, how to search for UP land records, and how to verify them correctly before entering a legal transaction.

 

 

What Is the UP Bhulekh Portal?

 

UP Bhulekh is an official online land-records verifying platform launched by the Uttar Pradesh Revenue Department to digitize and centralize land ownership and property-related information. It acts as a unified system where property owners, buyers, sellers, banks, lawyers, and government bodies can access verified land records quickly and transparently.

 

Before digitization, land information was manually stored in register books maintained at tehsil offices. Accessing or validating a document could take days or weeks, with a high risk of outdated entries or duplicate records. The Bhulekh portal solves this by offering real-time digital access to updates such as ownership changes, mutation entries, and plot boundaries.

 

 

What Land Record Services Are Available on UP Bhulekh?

 

The UP Bhulekh portal provides access to several essential land-related documents and information that citizens typically need during land verification, buying, selling, legal processes, and loan applications.

 

UP Bhulekh key services include:

 

  • Khatauni (Record of Rights) – Shows ownership details, cultivator information, land type & area
  • Khasra / Gata / Plot information – Detailed plot-based land record with partition and survey details
  • Real-Time Khatauni Copy – Updated digital version reflecting latest entries and mutations
  • ROR (Record of Rights) copy download – For documentation and initial verification
  • Bhu-Naksha (cadastral map) – Digital land map showing boundaries, geographic placement & layout of plots
  • Dispute status / Proceedings – Helps check legal conflicts before purchasing
  • Sale / Registry history – Shows transaction status and restricted plots (if any)
  • Village code lookup – Assists in searching records when name variations cause errors

 

These services allow users to verify accuracy before investing in land or proceeding with legal formalities.

 

 

What Documents & Information are Required to Search Land Records on UP Bhulekh

 

To view or download land records on the UP Bhulekh portal, you will need the following basic details:

 

  • District, Tehsil, and Village name
  • Khata number / Khatauni number
  • Khasra / Gata / Plot number
  • Landowner’s name (optional but useful when plot or Khata number is not known)

 

Having the plot number or Khata number yields the most accurate results, while searching by owner name may show multiple entries if there are common names in the area.

 

Additionally, for legal or administrative purposes (mutation, registry, loans, court cases), a certified copy from the tehsil office may be required, even if the online version is available for viewing.

 

 

How to View Land Records on the UP Bhulekh Portal

 

Accessing land records on the UP Bhulekh portal is a straightforward process, provided you have the basic property details ready. Follow the steps below to view your Khatauni, Khasra / Gata details, or land ownership records:

 

Step 1: Visit the Official UP Bhulekh Website


Go to the official UP Bhulekh land records portal: upbhulekh.gov.in

 

Step 2: Choose the Type of Record You Want to View


On the homepage, you’ll find different service options, typically labeled in Hindi. Common selections include:

 

  • View Khatauni record
  • View land map (Bhu-Naksha)
  • Check sale/dispute status

 

Step 3: Select District → Tehsil → Village


Use the dropdown lists to choose your location. This ensures you are searching in the correct dataset.

 

Step 4: Enter Property Search Details


Search using one of the following identifiers:

 

  • Khata number
  • Khasra / Gata number
  • Owner name (if other information is not available)
  • Search by land category
  • Search by mutation date

 

Step 5: Click Search and Then Click See Quote


The portal will display the land record associated with the entered details.

 

Step 6: View, Download, or Print


Once the record appears on-screen, you can review it and take a printout for reference or verification.

 

Tip: Searching via Khata or Khasra number is the most reliable method, especially in areas where several people share similar names.

 

 

How to Check Land Maps (Bhu-Naksha) for Plot & Boundary Verification

 

The Bhu-Naksha map service allows users to view the exact location and layout of the land parcel, including neighboring plots. It is extremely useful when verifying boundaries before purchase or construction.

 

Steps to Check Bhu-Naksha

 

   1. Visit the cadastral mapping portal.
   2. Select District → Tehsil → Village / Halka.
   3. Use the plot number to search for land boundaries.
   4. Zoom into the map to view detailed boundaries, size, and adjoining plot numbers.
   5. Download or print the map if needed.

 

Alternative Method: You can also view the plot map while checking Khatauni records. When the record appears on the screen, click on the Khasra number to open the map. (But this option may not work for every Khasra number).

 

 

How to Verify Land Ownership & Legal Authenticity on UP Bhulekh

 

While the UP Bhulekh portal provides digital access to ownership records, it is essential to verify legal authenticity when involved in property transactions.

FAQs

1. Is an online Khatauni copy from UP Bhulekh legally valid for registration?

Online copies are valid for preliminary verification and documentation, but for registry, mutation, court cases, or bank loans, a certified copy from the Tehsil office is required.

2. How can I get a certified copy of Khatauni?

Visit the nearest Tehsil / revenue office, apply with plot details and identity proof, and pay the official fee to obtain a certified print copy.

3. What should I do if my village or plot does not appear on the portal?

If the record is missing, the data may still be under digitization. Check with the local revenue office or try alternate spellings and local name variations.

4. Is Bhu-Naksha the same as Khatauni?

No. Khatauni shows ownership and land-rights data, while Bhu-Naksha displays the physical map, plot boundaries, and geographic location. Both are necessary for verification.

5. Can incorrect land records be corrected online?

Corrections cannot be done directly on the portal. You must file a request for rectification at your Tehsil office along with supporting documents.

6. Can NRIs check land records on the UP Bhulekh portal from abroad?

Yes. The portal is accessible globally, and NRIs can check land details online as long as they have district, village, and plot or Khata information. However, obtaining certified copies still requires an authorized representative to visit the Tehsil office.

7. What is mutation and why is it important?

Mutation is the process of updating the land revenue records after the sale, inheritance, or transfer of property. Without mutation, the legal ownership does not reflect in government records, which can lead to disputes or loan disqualification.

8. Can I use the UP Bhulekh record as proof for agricultural benefits and subsidies?

In most cases, agricultural subsidies, crop insurance, and government schemes require updated Khatauni records. While online copies may help with initial application, you may still need certified records for final approval.

9. What should I do if the Khatauni record shows outdated or incorrect owner names?

Approach your local Tehsil office and submit a correction request with supporting documents such as sale deed, identity proof, inheritance documents, or court orders. Updates will reflect online once approved.

10. Is it safe to rely on property details shown online when making investment decisions?

Yes for initial due diligence, but always verify with certified copies, physical site visits, survey measurements, and legal review before final payment. Digital records help eliminate guesswork but should be cross-checked for legal safety.
