Bihar Bhumi — land record portal (2026 guide) — RTI Wiki

Quick Reply: The Bihar Bhumi portal at biharbhumi.bihar.gov.in gives free online access to Khatian, Khasra and Jamabandi (revenue receipts). You can also track a mutation request on the same portal.

  • All records are free to view and print
  • Mutation requests are filed online on the same portal

  2. Search by khatian, khasra or owner name — free.
  3. View and print — PDF download available.

Common issues + how to handle

  • Record outdated — file a revision application.
  • Mutation stuck past the portal timeline — file an RTI to the Tehsildar.
  • Multiple owners — run a partition record search.
  • Portal slow or down — visit the Tehsildar office.

If stuck — file an RTI

Under s.7(1) of the RTI Act, the Public Information Officer must reply to an RTI within 30 days. If you get no reply by day 30, file a first appeal under s.19(1). Use this 5-question template to draft the application:

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