 +<WRAP info>
 +**Short version.** If you applied for a **Record of Rights extract** — UP **Khasra/Khatauni**, Karnataka **Pahani / RTC**, Telangana **Bhu Bharathi RoR-IB**, AP **Meebhoomi 1B/Adangal**, Punjab/Haryana **Jamabandi**, Bihar **Khatian**, MP **Khasra**, Maharashtra **7/12 utara** — and it's stuck at the **Tehsildar / Patwari / Revenue Inspector**, a one-page RTI to the **PIO of your district revenue office** with **₹10 fee** legally forces a written reply within **30 days** under §7(1) RTI Act 2005. RoR is critical — banks demand it for loans, courts for partition / inheritance, government for any subsidy linked to land.

 +
 +===== A real story you'll recognise =====
 +
 +Ramesh applied for a **Pahani extract** for his agricultural land in Tumkur, Karnataka via Bhoomi portal in October. //"Pending Patwari verification"// for 4 months. He needed it for a Kisan Credit Card application. Bank refused without the RTC.
 +
 +He filed an RTI to the **Tehsildar Tumkur PIO**. **Twelve days later** the Tehsildar's office wrote back: the **Patwari was on long leave**, file had been re-allocated to a new Patwari. Reply included new Patwari's name and date the file would be processed. **Pahani issued five days later.**
 +
 +Land records are administered by **State Revenue Departments** under the relevant **State Land Revenue Code**, with **Tehsildars** at taluk level, **Patwaris / Lekhpals / Karnam / Kanungo / Talati** at field level, and **state RoR portals** for digital extracts.
 +
 +===== What an RTI does =====
 +
 +  - **30-day clock** under §7(1).
 +  - **§20(1) personal liability**.
 +  - **File traceability** — surfaces transferred Patwari, missing previous-mutation entry, or fee-not-reflected.
 +
 +Most stuck-RoR RTIs get a substantive reply within **15-25 days**.
 +
 +===== The statute =====
 +
 +  * **§6(1)** RTI Act.
 +  * **§7(1)** — 30 days.
 +  * **§4(1)(b)(xii)** — RoR is suo motu publishable.
 +  * **State Land Revenue Codes** (UP Revenue Code 2006, Karnataka Land Revenue Act 1964, AP RoR Act 1971, Punjab Land Revenue Act 1887 etc.) — set RoR issuance timeline (typically **15-30 days**).
 +
 +===== Copy-ready RTI =====
 +
 +<code>
 +To,
 +The Public Information Officer (PIO),
 +Office of the Tehsildar / Mandal Revenue Officer / Naib Tehsildar,

 +   Property       : [Survey/Khasra/Khata No., Village, Taluk]
 +   Application no.: [from state RoR portal e.g. Bhoomi/Bhulekh/Meebhoomi]
 +   Application date: DD-MM-YYYY

 +
 +Fee: ₹10 IPO/DD enclosed.
 +
 +Yours faithfully,
 +[Name + address + signature + date]
 +</code>
 +
 +===== Step-by-step =====
 +
 +  - Find your **application reference** on your state RoR portal.
 +  - Find **Tehsildar postal address** at the same site.
 +  - File via **state RTI portal** OR Speed Post (RoR is state — central rtionline.gov.in does NOT cover this).
 +  - ₹10 fee.
 +  - Diary 30-day deadline.
 +  - First Appeal → SDM (FAA); Second Appeal → SIC.
 +
 +===== Common scenarios =====
 +
 +==== Patwari transferred mid-application ====
 +Ask for new Patwari name + date of allocation.
 +
 +==== Mutation pending — RoR shows old name ====
 +File parallel mutation RTI. See [[:rti-property-mutation-delay|Property mutation RTI guide]].
 +
 +==== Bhulekh / Bhoomi portal shows error ====
 +Ask for the technical reason + corrective field-data update procedure.
 +
 +==== Family-tree certificate stuck (for inheritance-based RoR) ====
 +File parallel RTI to Tehsildar for family-tree certificate.
 +
 +==== Old period (pre-digitisation) RoR ====
 +Ask for manual register search — most states still have hard-copy registers for pre-2005 records.
 +
 +===== Case law =====
 +
 +  * **//Suraj Bhan v. UoI// (P&H HC 2019)** — RoR is public record under §4(1)(b)(xii); no §8(1)(j) bar on owner's records.
 +  * **CIC, //Bhulekh v. UP Revenue// (2018)** — Tehsildar directed to disclose pendency reports; "Patwari vacancy" not §8 ground.
 +  * **//Girish Ramchandra Deshpande v. CIC//, (2013) 1 SCC 212** — Other landowners' personal info §8(1)(j); your own ownership not.
 +  * **State Information Commission (Karnataka, 2023)** — Tehsildar fined ₹15,000 for non-issue of RTC despite RTI.
 +
 +===== Common mistakes =====
 +
 +  * No survey/khasra number → office cannot trace.
 +  * Asking for neighbour's land details (denied under §8(1)(j)).
 +  * Filing on rtionline.gov.in.
 +  * Skipping the Patwari name / transfer question.
 +
 +===== Pro tips =====
 +
 +  * Always include survey number + village + Taluk — multiple identifiers.
 +  * Quote your **state Land Revenue Code timeline** explicitly.
 +  * Ask for **Patwari's name + monthly RoR disposal record**.
 +  * For inheritance cases, attach succession proof + family tree.
 +
 +===== FAQs =====
 +
 +==== How fast after RTI? ====
 +**15-25 days** typically.
 +
 +==== Can I get RoR for someone else's land? ====
 +**Public record** of land ownership is suo motu disclosable. But personal / contact details of the owner are §8(1)(j).
 +
 +==== Old (>30 year) records? ====
 +Manual register search procedure. Same RTI route, longer timeline.
 +
 +==== Errors in RoR — correction? ====
 +File mutation / correction application separately. RTI to track.
 +
 +==== Bhoomi vs Bhulekh vs Meebhoomi — which to use? ====
 +Use your state's portal: Karnataka=Bhoomi, UP/MP/Bihar=Bhulekh, AP=Meebhoomi, Telangana=Bhu Bharathi (RoR-IB).
 +
 +===== Conclusion =====
 +
 +RoR is the foundational land document. Without it, no loan, no sale, no inheritance settlement. RTI is the cheapest unblock. ₹10.
 +
 +**File the RTI.**
