Land records are important documents that contain information about the ownership, area, and value of a piece of land. They are also useful for various purposes such as applying for loans, selling or buying property, verifying land titles, paying taxes, and resolving disputes.
In Uttarakhand, the land records are maintained by the Revenue Department under the Board of Revenue. The department has digitized the land records and made them available online through the Bhulekh Uttarakhand portal.
The Bhulekh Uttarakhand portal is a web-based service that allows the citizens of Uttarakhand to access their land records online. The portal provides various features such as:
- Viewing and downloading the Record of Rights (RoR) or Khatauni, which is a document that shows the details of the landowners and their holdings.
- Viewing and downloading the Khasra or Khata, which is a document that shows the details of the land parcels and their measurements.
- Viewing and downloading the Bhu Naksha or Land Map, which is a graphical representation of the land parcels and their boundaries.
- Viewing and downloading the Mutation Register or Intkal, which is a document that shows the changes in the ownership or area of the land due to sale, purchase, inheritance, partition, etc.
- Viewing and downloading the Jamabandi or Settlement Register, which is a document that shows the summary of the land records of a village or tehsil.
