How to Check Land Records (ROR, Khata, Khasra) Online in Delhi

Updated for 2026 · Claw Editorial

Delhi land records are split across two different systems, and knowing which is which saves a lot of confusion. Revenue records, the Khasra (plot) and Khatauni (holding) and the Record of Rights, are held by the Revenue Department and viewable on the Delhi land-records portal. Registered documents, that is sale deeds, gift deeds and so on, are held separately by the Registration department and searchable through DORIS, the Delhi Online Registration Information System. Neither one, on its own, proves clean ownership. This page explains what each record shows, how to look it up online, how Delhi differs from states with a single Bhulekh-style portal, and what to do when a record is wrong or an ownership or boundary fight begins. Last verified October 2026.

01What the records are in Delhi

The key terms:

• Khasra is the number for a specific plot of land in a village or revenue estate, with its area and classification.
• Khatauni (Khata) is the account of a holder, listing all the Khasra numbers held by that person in that estate.
• Record of Rights (ROR) is the record of who holds the land and on what rights, built from the Khasra and Khatauni.
• Registered deed is the sale, gift or other document actually registered when the property changed hands, held by the Registration department, not the Revenue department.

02Which portal holds what

Confirm the exact current URLs on the Delhi government site, as they are periodically moved or merged.

03How to check revenue records online

To view a Khasra or Khatauni:

• Open the Delhi land-records portal (DLRC).
• Select your district, sub-division, and village or revenue estate.
• Search by Khasra number, Khatauni number, or the holder's name.
• View the record on screen and save or print the copy. For a legally usable extract, you may still need a certified copy from the revenue office.

For the mapped boundary, use the Bhu-Naksha Delhi portal and open the Khasra on the cadastral map.

04How to search a registered deed

A revenue record does not show who legally bought the property; the registered deed does. To search registration records:

• Open DORIS (doris.delhigovt.nic.in).
• Use the deed-search or registered-document search, by party name, property details or document number and year.
• Note the deed type, date, parties and the sub-registrar office. A certified copy of a registered deed is obtained from the concerned Sub-Registrar.

A proper title check reads both the revenue record and the chain of registered deeds together, and for urban property, the DDA or society records as well.

05Reading the records together

No single Delhi record is conclusive proof of ownership. A safe reading cross-checks:

• The revenue record (Khasra/Khatauni/ROR) for who the revenue department shows as holder and the land type.
• The chain of registered deeds on DORIS, back far enough to see an unbroken title.
• For urban property, the DDA conveyance or allotment and society share certificate.
• Any encumbrance, mortgage or litigation noted against the property.

Mismatches between the revenue record and the registered deeds are the classic warning sign and the usual root of a later dispute.

06When a record is wrong

If the revenue record names the wrong holder, misses a mutation after a sale or inheritance, or shows the wrong area, apply to the revenue authority (the concerned Tehsildar or revenue office) to correct or mutate the record with proof such as the registered deed, succession document or survey. A registration error in a deed is corrected through the Sub-Registrar or a rectification/supplementary deed.

If the revenue authority refuses, or two parties claim the same land, or a boundary is contested, the matter moves out of the record office and into a court.

07When it becomes a dispute

A wrong mutation, a contested inheritance, a double sale or a boundary fight does not stay on a portal. It goes to a revenue court or a civil court, where ownership or possession is decided, with a case number and hearing dates to follow. At that point you need one place to watch the matter rather than checking a cause list by hand.
