• Khasra: Plot-level details (area, ownership, crop, soil type)
• B-1 (Nakal): Mutation register — records every ownership change
• P-2: Cumulative ownership record (current + historical ownership chain)
• Cost: Free to view online; certified copy Rs 30–100 from Tehsildar

MP Bhulekh (मध्य प्रदेश भूलेख) is the official online land records portal of Madhya Pradesh, maintained by the state Revenue Department under the Government of India's Digital India Land Records Modernisation Programme (DILRMP). The portal digitises the traditional Khasra, Khatauni, B-1 Nakal, and P-2 records that were previously maintained manually by Patwaris and Tehsildars.

The portal was launched to bring transparency to land transactions in Madhya Pradesh, a state where over 72% of the population depends on agriculture and land ownership disputes are among the most common civil cases filed. Before digitisation, obtaining a land record copy required multiple visits to the Tehsil office and payments to intermediaries. Today, any citizen can view and download land records free of charge from mpbhulekh.gov.in.

Key documents available on MP Bhulekh:

• Khasra (खसरा): The field-by-field register showing plot number, area, land type, ownership, crop details, and cultivation status for each agricultural plot.
• Khatauni (खतौनी): An abstract of the Khasra showing all persons cultivating a particular plot — whether as owners, tenants, or sharecroppers.
• B-1 Nakal (बी-1 नक़ल): The mutation register recording every ownership transfer, partition, sale, or inheritance event with dates.
• P-2: The cumulative ownership record showing the complete chain of ownership from the original allotment to the present day.

For broader context on land records across India, see our guide: Land Records or Property Status Not Clear? Use RTI to Access Official.

Checking Khasra and Khatauni on MP Bhulekh is a straightforward 3-step process that requires no registration or login:

1. Step 1 — Visit mpbhulekh.gov.in and select your District, Tehsil, and Village from the dropdown menus.
2. Step 2 — Choose search method: Search by Khasra number, Plot number, or Owner name (खातेदार का नाम). You can also search by the Gatasankhya (गटांक) if you know it.
3. Step 3 — View and download: The portal displays the full Khasra/Khatauni record on screen. Click “Print” or “Download PDF” to save a copy for your records.

Tips for accurate results:

• If searching by owner name, use the exact spelling as recorded in revenue records (Hindi or English depending on data entry).
• For plots with common names, narrow results by selecting the correct Tehsil first.
• The portal works best on desktop browsers; mobile viewing is supported but may show smaller text.

Important: The online copy from MP Bhulekh is for reference only. For legal purposes (court cases, bank loans, property transactions), you need a certified copy from the Tehsildar, which carries an official stamp and signature. See our property mutation guide for the certified copy application process.

MP Bhulekh covers all 55 districts of Madhya Pradesh. Below is a district-wise reference table for the top 10 districts by land record searches:

To search by district:

1. Go to [[https://mpbhulekh.gov.in|mpbhulekh.gov.in]]
2. Select your district from the dropdown (all 55 districts are listed alphabetically)
3. Select Tehsil → select Village → enter Khasra/Plot number or owner name

Note on newly formed districts: Mandla, Dindori, Anuppur, Burhanpur, and Alirajpur districts may show data under their parent districts in older records. If you cannot find your village, try searching under the parent district (e.g., Anuppur records may appear under Shahdol).

MP Bhulekh provides a plot map (नक्शा) feature that shows the visual boundary of any agricultural plot. This is especially useful for:

• Verifying plot boundaries before purchase or partition
• Identifying encroachments — if a neighbour has occupied part of your land
• Bank loan applications — banks often require a plot map along with the Khasra
• Land dispute cases — the plot map serves as evidence in civil courts

Steps to view the plot map:

1. Navigate to [[https://mpbhulekh.gov.in|mpbhulekh.gov.in]] and locate your plot by District → Tehsil → Village → Khasra number.
2. Click on the **"नक्शा देखें" (View Map)** or **"Map"** button next to your plot entry.
3. The portal displays the plot boundary overlaid on a satellite imagery base map.
4. You can zoom, pan, and print the map.

Important: The plot map data is based on the last settlement/resurvey conducted in your area. Many MP districts have not been resurveyed since the 1990s, so boundaries shown online may not reflect ground-level changes. For the most current map, contact your local Patwari or Tehsildar.

If you suspect an encroachment on your plot, see our guide: Encroachment Complaint Guide — Legal Steps for Land Encroachment in India.

Mutation (दखलखori / बंदोबस्त) is the process of updating land records when ownership changes — due to sale, inheritance, gift, or court order. In Madhya Pradesh, you can check mutation status both online and offline.

Online mutation status check:

1. Visit [[https://mpbhulekh.gov.in|mpbhulekh.gov.in]]
2. Navigate to your plot (District → Tehsil → Village → Khasra)
3. Click on **"बी-1" (B-1)** to view the mutation register
4. Look for the latest entry — it will show the mutation case number, date of filing, and current status

Mutation processing timeline:

• Normal mutation: 30–45 days from filing
• Mutation with objection: 60–90 days (notice period + hearing)
• Court-ordered mutation: Immediate upon receiving the court decree

If mutation is delayed beyond 45 days:

• Visit the Tehsildar office with your application receipt
• If still pending, file an RTI (template below) — see our guide to checking property mutation status
• For rejected mutations, see Property Mutation Rejected — Recovery Guide

For the complete mutation application process, see How to Apply for Property Mutation.

The Khatauni (खतौनी) is the key document for identifying who is actually cultivating a plot — which may differ from the registered owner. This is critical in cases involving:

• Tenant farmers — who cultivate land they do not own
• Sharecroppers — who share the harvest with the landowner
• Oral lessees — who have informal cultivation agreements
• PM-Kisan and crop insurance — the Khatauni is used to verify beneficiary eligibility

Steps to view Khatauni on MP Bhulekh:

1. Go to [[https://mpbhulekh.gov.in|mpbhulekh.gov.in]]
2. Select District → Tehsil → Village → enter Khasra number
3. Click on **"खतौनी" (Khatauni)** tab
4. The portal displays:
  * Owner name(s) and their shares
  * Cultivator name(s) — owner-cultivated or tenant-cultivated
  * Crop sown in current and previous season
  * Area under each crop

Note on tenant rights: Under the MP Tenancy Act, 1950, oral tenancies are legally recognised in certain categories. If you are a tenant farmer whose name does not appear in the Khatauni, you can file an RTI to the Tehsildar requesting the cultivation records. See our RTI for land records guide for the application template.

Errors in MP Bhulekh records are very common — especially spelling mistakes in names, incorrect area measurements, wrong plot numbers, and outdated ownership details. Here's how to get them corrected:

Step 1 — Identify the error: Compare the online record with your sale deed, partition deed, or inheritance document. Common errors include:

• Name spelling errors (e.g., “Kushal” vs “Kushal Kumar”)
• Wrong area (e.g., 2.5 acres showing as 2.05 acres)
• Incorrect plot/gata number
• Missing co-owner names
• Outdated ownership after a registered sale

Step 2 — File a correction application:

• Submit a written application to the Tehsildar of your tehsil
• Attach: sale deed copy, identity proof, affidavit declaring the error, and the online Khasra printout highlighting the error
• Fee: Typically Rs 50–200 depending on the type of correction

Step 3 — Timeline and follow-up:

• The Tehsildar must process corrections within 30 days
• If the Patwari objects, a field verification is conducted
• If no action in 30 days → file an RTI (see template below)

Step 4 — RTI escalation: If the correction is delayed or rejected without reason, file an RTI to the Public Information Officer (PIO) at the District Revenue Office (जिला कलेक्टर कार्यालय). See our guide on pending property mutations for the full escalation process.

The Revenue Department of Madhya Pradesh offers mobile access to land records through:

1. Mobile-optimised website: mpbhulekh.gov.in is fully responsive — you can access all features (Khasra, B-1, P-2, plot map) from any smartphone browser without installing an app.

2. MP e-District / CM Helpline app: The official MP e-District app (available on Google Play Store) provides access to multiple citizen services including land records. Features:

• Search land records by district/tehsil/village
• Download Khasra and Khatauni
• Track mutation applications
• File complaints via CM Helpline (Call 181)

3. UMANG app: MP Bhulekh services are also integrated into the UMANG (Unified Mobile Application for New-age Governance) platform launched by the Government of India. Search for “MP Bhulekh” or “Madhya Pradesh Land Records” within the UMANG app.

Tips for mobile users:

• Save frequently searched plots by bookmarking the URL with your district/tehsil/village parameters
• The plot map feature works best on screens 5 inches or larger
• For certified copies, you must still visit the Tehsildar — the app does not issue certified copies

India has 28 states, each with its own land record portal under DILRMP. Here's how MP Bhulekh compares to other major state portals:

See our complete state-wise guides:

• UP Bhulekh
• Maharashtra Bhulekh / 7-12
• Karnataka Bhoomi
• Bihar Bhumi
• Tamil Nadu Patta
• Telangana Dharani
• Andhra Pradesh Meebhumi

Land disputes in Madhya Pradesh commonly arise from:

• Boundary disputes — encroachment by neighbours
• Ownership disputes — conflicting sale deeds or inheritance claims
• Mutation disputes — refusal to mutate after a valid sale
• Tribal land disputes — restrictions on transfer of tribal land under MP Code
• Bhoodan/Gramdan land — disputes over donated land allotment

RTI is the most effective tool for extracting information that revenue officials may otherwise withhold. File an RTI when:

• Mutation is pending beyond 45 days
• The Patwari refuses to share the Khasra or B-1 register
• You suspect fraudulent mutation entries
• You need certified copies of historical ownership records (P-2)
• Land acquisition compensation records are being withheld

Khasra is the plot-level register — it shows the plot number, area, soil type, ownership, and crop details for a single plot. Khatauni is an abstract derived from the Khasra — it lists all persons who cultivate the plot (owners, tenants, sharecroppers) and their respective shares. Khasra is about the land; Khatauni is about the people on the land.

Yes. The MP Bhulekh portal has a “Print” button that generates a PDF of the displayed record. This PDF is watermarked as “for reference only” and is not a certified copy. For certified copies, apply at the Tehsildar office.
