What the record shows
A khatian is the account of one owner or group of co-owners in the Record of Rights (ROR); a printed copy is often called a porcha. A plot, or dag, is one piece of land on the mouza map. One khatian can hold several plots, and one plot can be shared between several khatians.
- Search by khatian: the owner names, guardians' names, address, and every plot in that khatian with its share and area.
- Search by plot: the land classification, total area, and each khatian that holds a share of the plot.
What you need before you start
- The district, block and mouza where the land lies. The JL number printed on a deed or porcha identifies the mouza.
- The LR khatian number or the LR plot number. If the number has a second part after a slash, enter it as the bata number.
- A Banglarbhumi account, if the search asks you to log in.
Most record searches ask you to log in with your own Banglarbhumi account: user ID, password, the captcha and the one-time password sent to your registered mobile. Your password is used once to sign in and is never stored. If you have no account yet, register first on the official portal at banglarbhumi.gov.in.

Common questions
Can I search West Bengal land records by owner name?
No. Records are searched by khatian number or plot number inside a chosen mouza. If you know only the owner's name, ask at the BL&LRO office of the block or check an old deed or porcha for the numbers.
What is the difference between a khatian number and a plot (dag) number?
The khatian number identifies the owner's account in the Record of Rights. The plot or dag number identifies a piece of land on the mouza map. A khatian lists the plots it holds; a plot lists the khatians that share it.
What is a bata number?
When a plot or khatian is split, the new parts get a sub-number written after a slash, for example 123/456. The second part is the bata number. Leave it empty if your number has no slash.
Why does the record show a different owner from the person who sold me the land?
The record changes only after mutation. If a sale was registered but mutation was not completed, the earlier owner stays in the khatian. Check the mutation status or ask the BL&LRO office.
Is the PDF from this website valid as a legal document?
No. It is an informational copy. Banks, courts and offices normally ask for a certified copy issued through the official portal or the BL&LRO office.
