Chhattisgarh Land Records Online (Bhuiyan): How to Check Khasra (2026)

How-To Guide · Chhattisgarh Land Records

Updated for 2026 · Claw Editorial

To check Chhattisgarh land records, open the Bhuiyan portal, choose district, tehsil and village, then search by owner name, khasra (survey) number, khata number or plot. You will see the Khasra and B-1 (Record of Rights) entries: owner, area, land type and holding. A land record is not proof of clear title. Also check encumbrance and any court cases.

01Why people check Chhattisgarh land records

Most people open a land record for one of three reasons. They want to buy a plot or farm land. They need a copy of the record for a bank loan or a government scheme. Or they suspect a family or boundary dispute and want to see what the revenue office has on file.

In Chhattisgarh, the state runs one official place for this: the Bhuiyan portal, built with the National Informatics Centre and run by the Revenue and Disaster Management Department. This guide is not that portal. It shows you how to use it, and what to do after you read the record.

02What Khasra and B-1 (Record of Rights) mean

Chhattisgarh land records are kept village by village. Two names matter most.

• Khasra (also called P-II): a plot-level record. Each field or plot in a village has a khasra number. It shows the area, the type of land, how it is used, and the person in possession.
• B-1 (Record of Rights, also called Khatauni): a holding-level record. It groups all the khasra numbers held by one owner or family under a khata number, and shows the owner name and share.

A simple way to remember it: the khasra tells you about one piece of land, and the B-1 tells you about everything one owner holds in the village.

03Steps to check land records on Bhuiyan

These steps follow the usual flow of the official portal. Screens may look slightly different when you visit.

1. Go to the official Bhuiyan site, bhuiyan.cg.nic.in. Type the address yourself. Do not use a link from an unknown message or ad.
2. Open the citizen services section (shown as Nagrik Suvidha or a similar tab).
3. Choose the record you want: Khasra (P-II) or B-1 (Khatauni).
4. Select the district, then the tehsil, then the village. Pick the revenue year or record period if the portal asks.
5. Choose how to search: by khasra number, by khata number, by owner name, or from the village plot list.
6. Enter the details and submit the captcha if asked.
7. Open the result. Read the owner name, area, land type, and any remarks. Download or print the copy if the portal allows it.
8. Compare what you see with the papers the seller shows you. Note any mismatch in name, area or number.

04Search methods compared

You can usually reach the same record in more than one way. Pick the method based on what you already know.

05Mutation vs a simple record update

Many buyers mix these two up, so keep them apart.

• Mutation (namantaran, also dakhil-kharij): a formal entry in the revenue record that changes the name of the holder after a sale, gift, inheritance or partition. It is done on an application to the revenue authority and is usually followed by notice and an order.
• Record update or correction: fixing an error, such as a wrong spelling, wrong area or wrong khasra number. No change of ownership takes place.

If you bought land and your name is not yet on the B-1, the mutation is probably still pending. For the full process, see how to check property mutation status in India.

06A land record is not proof of clear title

This is the point that catches most buyers. In India, revenue records mainly show who is in possession and who pays land revenue. They are not a guarantee that the person named has a clean, saleable title.

A name on the B-1 does not tell you whether:

• the land is mortgaged or has a loan charge on it,
• another family member has a claim or a pending partition suit,
• the seller or a past owner is in a court case about this land,
• there is a stay or injunction order on sale.

So use the land record as step one, not the last step. The next checks are:

1. Encumbrance: get an encumbrance certificate for the registered transactions and charges. See how to download an encumbrance certificate in India.
2. Litigation: check whether the land, the seller or earlier owners appear in any court case. Court records are separate from revenue records.
3. Documents: have a lawyer read the chain of title, meaning every past sale deed, will or partition paper.

A land record tells you who the revenue office thinks holds the land. It does not tell you whether a court has said otherwise.

07Common problems when checking records

• Name not found: try other spellings, the father or husband name, or search by khasra number instead.
• Record looks old or incomplete: a recent sale may not be mutated yet. Ask for the mutation order or application receipt.
• Area does not match the sale deed: this is a red flag. Ask the seller to explain, and consider a fresh survey.
• Several owners on one khata: all co-owners may need to sign the sale.
• Portal slow or down: try later or visit the tehsil office. Do not pay any agent who offers a “faster” copy.

Banks and NBFCs that run this check at scale often add court-record screening to their land checks. See how lenders use a litigation search API for that workflow.

08Where 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 does not replace Bhuiyan. Its role starts after you read the record. Court cases rarely show up in revenue records, so before you buy, create a free Claw account to check whether the land or the parties, by name, appear in court cases (a property litigation and entity check). Claw covers 9,102 forums and over 30 crore judgments, and returns results in under 5 seconds. Names are matched even when spellings differ, which matters for Indian names.

Claw has a free plan for individual advocates. Enterprise use is on quote.
