UP Bhulekh — land record search portal (2026 guide)

• UP Bhulekh covers 75 districts + 75K+ villages
• Khasra: plot record
• Khatauni: cumulative landowner record
• Niyog: leasehold
• All free
• Mutation status also viewable

The two records people actually need are different documents for different jobs. The Khasra is the plot-level record — area, cultivation, crop — and it is what a crop-loan or compensation claim is checked against. The Khatauni is the village's ownership ledger entry for that plot: who the recorded owners are, in what share. A sale deed alone does not change the Khatauni; only the revenue office's mutation (namantaran) order does, which is why a registered purchase can still leave you invisible in the record until mutation is done. The Bhulekh portal mirrors both — but the mirror updates only when the tehsil's own record does, so treat a stale entry as a tehsil problem, not a portal problem.

1. Visit upbhulekh.gov.in — Choose district + tehsil + village.
2. Search by khasra no / khatauni no / land owner name — Free.
3. View record on screen — Download as PDF.
4. Print as needed — For official use, certified copy from Tehsildar (Rs 30-100).
5. Mutation status: separate tab — Track namantaran applications.
6. RTI for record corrections — When incorrect data shown.

• District + tehsil + village name
• OR khasra/khatauni number
• OR land owner name

• Record incorrect — file a correction application at the Tehsildar's office with your proof; keep the receipt. Mutation and correction are quasi-judicial processes, so under Section 4(1)(d) of the RTI Act the affected person is entitled to the reasons for the decision, not just the decision.
• Owner not appearing — file a revision application; if it vanishes, RTI for its date-wise movement.
• Multiple owners / partition questions — RTI for the partition and consolidation history of the plot, which the consolidation records hold.
• Bhulekh portal down — the tehsil office remains the record keeper; certified copies do not depend on the portal.
• Mutation pending for months — ask in writing for status and expected date; silence after that is exactly what the five-question RTI below is for.

Most “delays” or “rejections” clear within 7-15 days of an RTI being filed. Use this 5-question template:

1. Status of my namantaran / correction application no. _____ dated _____ as on date.
2. Name + designation of dealing officer (Lekhpal / Tehsildar) assigned to my file.
3. Reasons for delay beyond the statutory timeline.
4. Copy of any noting / movement of my file in the past 30 days.
5. Likely date of resolution / decision.

The Tehsildar's office — usually the Tehsildar or an officer designated as PIO for the revenue office. Address the application to “the Public Information Officer, Office of the Tehsildar, [tehsil, district]” and it will reach the right desk with the Lekhpal's record.

Yes — crop inspection (girdawari) entries and the consolidation and partition record of a plot are revenue records held by public authorities. They decide inheritance and tenancy fights, and they are disclosable to the affected person with the plot's khasra number quoted.

The Bhulekh download prints a portal header, not a signature. For a bank loan, a court matter or a mutation objection, ask the tehsil for a certified Khatauni or Khasra copy — stamped, signed, and chargeable at the local rate. A certified copy carries the record's evidentiary weight; the download merely tells you what the certified copy will say. Applying for the certified copy in the same visit where you check the portal record is the habit that saves the second trip.

Free download. Certified copy from Tehsildar Rs 30-100.

Updated at mutation; lag of 30-90 days typical.

Certified copy from Tehsildar admissible. Bhulekh download for reference.

Apply at Tehsildar. RTI if delayed beyond 30 days.
