Andhra Pradesh Land Records Online (Meebhoomi): How to Check Adangal (2026)

How-To Guide · Andhra Pradesh Land Records

Updated for 2026 · Claw Editorial

To check Andhra Pradesh land records, open the Meebhoomi portal of the state Revenue Department, choose Adangal or 1-B, pick the district, mandal and village, and search by survey number, khata (account) number or owner name. You will see the recorded owner, extent and land type. But a land record only shows who is recorded as holding the land. It does not prove clear title, so also check the encumbrance certificate and any court cases on the land or the parties.

01What Meebhoomi, Adangal and 1-B are

Meebhoomi is the Andhra Pradesh government’s online land records portal, run by the state Revenue Department. It puts village land records on the web so that landowners, buyers and banks do not have to visit the revenue office for every check. This guide is an independent explainer. We are not the portal, and the official record is always the one on the government site.

Adangal

The Adangal is the village record kept by the revenue department. It lists each survey number in a village, who is recorded as holding the land, the extent, the type of land (wet or dry), and often the crop and source of irrigation. Banks and agriculture offices ask for it often, for crop loans and similar needs.

1-B (Record of Rights)

The 1-B is the Record of Rights extract. It is the record of who holds a landholding, grouped by khata (account) number, with the survey numbers and extent that make up that account. Many people use the words Adangal and 1-B together, but they are two different records. Check both when you do due diligence.

02Steps to check Andhra Pradesh land records on Meebhoomi

The exact menu names can change, but the flow on the official portal is usually this.

1. Open the official site. Go to meebhoomi.ap.gov.in. Type the address yourself. Do not use links from ads or unknown sites, because fake lookalike sites exist.
2. Choose the record. Pick the Adangal option or the 1-B option from the home page menu. Some versions show “Your 1-B” and “Village 1-B” choices.
3. Select the location. Choose the district, then the mandal (zone), then the village.
4. Choose how to search. Pick survey number, khata (account) number, or owner name. Some options may also be offered by Aadhaar number.
5. Enter the value and captcha. Type the survey number, khata number or name, then enter the captcha code shown.
6. Open and read the result. Check the owner name, survey number, extent, land type and any remarks. Print or save the page if you need a copy.
7. Cross-check on the ground. Match the survey number and extent with the sale deed and the field boundaries.

If the portal shows nothing, or the details look wrong, do not guess. Go to the Mandal Revenue Office (the tahsildar’s office) with your documents and ask for a correction.

03Ways to search Andhra Pradesh land records

You can usually search in more than one way. Pick the one that matches what you already know.

Survey number search is the most exact. Name search is the least exact, so always confirm the survey number and extent against the title documents.

04Mutation vs a record update

People often mix these up. A land record can be out of date even after a valid sale.

• Mutation (change of name in revenue records): after a sale, gift, inheritance or partition, the new owner applies to the revenue authority to have the name changed in the revenue records. It is also called namantaran or dakhil-kharij in other states. In Andhra Pradesh the process runs through the Mandal Revenue Office.
• Record update: a correction or refresh of details in the record, such as extent, land type, survey sub-division or a typing error. It does not by itself change who owns the land in law.

So if the portal still shows the old owner, a mutation may be pending or never done. If you are the buyer, make sure mutation is filed after registration. For the full process, see our guide on how to check property mutation status.

05A land record is not proof of clear title

This is the most important point in the guide. Revenue records exist mainly to show who holds and uses the land, and to collect land revenue. They are not a conclusive record of ownership. Title is proved by the chain of documents behind the land, such as registered deeds, and it can be challenged in court.

A clean Adangal or 1-B can still sit on top of a problem. For example:

• A co-owner or legal heir never signed the sale.
• The land is mortgaged or charged to a bank or lender.
• There is a pending suit about ownership, possession or partition.
• The seller’s own title came from a doubtful or forged document.

A land record tells you who is recorded as holding the land. It does not tell you who has a clean right to sell it.

06Checks to do before you buy

Use the land record as the first step, not the last one. A sensible buyer’s checklist for Andhra Pradesh land looks like this.

1. Land records: check Adangal and 1-B on Meebhoomi, and match the survey number and extent with the seller’s documents.
2. Encumbrance: get an encumbrance certificate for the period you need, to see registered transactions, mortgages and charges. See how to download an encumbrance certificate.
3. Chain of title: have a lawyer read the past deeds, wills, partition papers and succession documents.
4. Litigation: search for court cases on the land and against the seller. Registers and revenue records do not show these.
5. Possession and boundaries: visit the site and confirm who is actually in possession.

The litigation check is the one most buyers skip. A case may be filed under the name of the seller, a past owner or a family member, and may be in a civil court, a High Court or a tribunal. Search by party name, and try spelling variants, because Telugu names are often written in many English spellings.

07Where Claw fits

Claw is an all-in-one legaltech platform for Indian advocates, law firms, and corporate legal teams, combining AI-based case search, an AI legal assistant (Legal GPT), case management, and compliance automation across all Indian courts and tribunals.

Claw is not a land records portal and cannot replace Meebhoomi. Use Meebhoomi for the revenue record. Claw helps with the part the portal does not cover: checking court cases that involve the land or the people selling it. Claw covers 9,102 forums and over 30 crore judgments, with results in under 5 seconds, and its search is tolerant of spelling and name variations. That helps when the same seller appears under different spellings.

Before you buy, create a free Claw account to check any court cases on the land or the parties by name (property litigation and entity check). Claw has a free plan for individual advocates; paid plans are for teams and enterprises. A court-case search is a due diligence input, not legal advice, and a lawyer should read the results with the title documents.
