Khatiyan vs Jamabandi — the basics
The khatiyan (record of rights) is the older survey record showing plots and owners; the jamabandi (Register-II) is the live rent-roll that records the current raiyat (holder), plot and rent. For most work today — loans, sale, mutation — the jamabandi is what people check.
How to view your Apna Khata / Jamabandi
- Open biharbhumi.bihar.gov.in and choose “Apna Khata Dekhein” or “Jamabandi Panji Dekhein.”
- Select your district and circle (anchal) on the map.
- Choose your mauza (village) and search by raiyat name, khata number or plot number.
- View the record and take a printout.
How to apply for Dakhil Kharij (mutation)
After you buy land, the ownership must be updated in your name — this is dakhil kharij. Register/login on the portal, choose “Dakhil Kharij Aavedan,” enter the buyer, seller, plot and deed (registry) details, upload documents, and submit. You get an application number to track progress under “Dakhil Kharij Status.”
Pay your land rent (bhu-lagan) online
Use the “Bhu-Lagan” option to see any pending rent, pay it online, and download the receipt — keeping your land rent up to date is helpful proof of possession.
