How to check land records on Bhu Bharati

Bhu Bharati is Telangana’s land record portal, which replaced Dharani. For agricultural land and farm plots it tells you who the recorded owner (pattadar) is, how much land is recorded, and how it is classified.

Steps

1. Sign in with your mobile number and OTP.
2. Open Land Details Search and choose Pahani (the full village record) or ROR 1B (the ownership extract).
3. Select the district, mandal and village. Picking the wrong village is the most common reason for “no records found”.
4. Enter the survey number, or the LPM or Bhudhaar number printed on the pattadar passbook, then the captcha.
5. View the record free on screen, or pay for the digitally signed PDF with a QR code. Banks and the registrar accept only the signed copy.

What to compare with the seller’s papers

Common problems

• No records found: often a migration delay. Try the LPM number, retry later, or ask the MRO.
• Old survey number not working: parcels re-mapped after the resurvey may need the LPM.
• Name errors from the Dharani era: these can block loans and registration and need a correction with the Tahsildar.

Then check the encumbrance certificate for loans and earlier sales, and convert the area with the land area converter.
