How to Check Khatian & Plot Information Online on Banglarbhumi
A complete guide to finding your land's Khatian, plot information (ROR), mouza map and land records online through the Banglarbhumi portal in West Bengal.
Introduction
The Banglarbhumi portal of the Government of West Bengal’s Land & Land Reforms Department is a unique digital medium for ordinary citizens to verify and collect land-related information. Whether you are buying or selling land, partitioning inherited property, or avoiding any legal complications related to land, verifying the Khatian and plot information (Plot Info) is extremely important.
Why Should You Verify Land Records?
- Avoid fraud: Before buying land, you can confirm the real owner’s name and whether the land has any legal disputes or loans against it.
- Confirm the land classification: You can verify whether the land is residential (Bastu), agricultural (Danga), Aman, wetland, or suitable for commercial use.
- Know the correct share: You can cross-check the total land area in the Khatian against the exact share owned by the seller.
