Bhu Naksha UP: Check Village Land Map Online (2026 Guide)
View the village cadastral map for any plot in Uttar Pradesh, match it to the khasra number and know what the map can and cannot prove.
The village map on UP Bhu Naksha (भू-नक्शा) shows how every khasra plot in a village sits relative to its neighbours. Use it before you pay a token amount, because a plot that looks right on paper can be landlocked, split or shaped differently on the ground.
What the UP Bhu Naksha shows
Bhu Naksha is the digitised cadastral map (शजरा/नक्शा) of a revenue village. Each polygon carries a khasra (खसरा) or gata number. The map is a revenue-department drawing: it shows plot boundaries, shape, relative position, field paths and water bodies where mapped.
- Plot number, shape and neighbouring plots
- Approach paths (rasta/chak road) drawn on the village sheet
- Village boundary and mapped water bodies
- Layer controls for the base map and custom layers
It does not show ownership, mortgage, litigation or land-use status. Ownership sits in the khatauni (खतौनी) on the Record of Rights portal. See Khasra and Khatauni Explained.
Step-by-step: view a plot on UP Bhu Naksha
- Open UP Bhu Naksha in a desktop browser.
- In the Location panel choose the District, then the Tehsil, then the Village, in that order.
- Type the khasra or plot number in the Plot No. field to jump to the plot, or click a polygon on the map.
- Use the Base Map and Custom Layers options to switch what is displayed.
- Zoom in to confirm the plot shape and the road or path it touches.
- Note the plot number exactly as shown and compare it with the khatauni.
Keep one browser tab on the map and one on the khatauni
Search the same khasra number on UP Bhulekh and compare the area on the khatauni with the shape on the map. A large gap is a reason to ask the tehsil for a field measurement before you pay anything.
Match the map to the record
| Check | Where to look | What a mismatch suggests |
|---|---|---|
| Plot number | Map vs khatauni | Wrong village or tehsil selected, or a renumbered plot after consolidation |
| Area | Khatauni area vs map shape | Partition not updated on the map, or an encroachment |
| Road access | Map vs site visit | No recorded path: ask for the legal approach before buying |
| Owner name | Khatauni only | The map never carries names; rely on the record and the sale deed |
Common problems
- Village missing from the list: map digitisation can lag the record. Ask the tehsil for the village sheet.
- Map looks different on the ground: the digital map follows the revenue sheet, not a fresh survey. Commission a licensed surveyor if you are buying.
- Page slow or blank: retry off-peak or switch browsers.
The map is a reference, not a title document. A physical demarcation (पैमाइश) by the revenue team is the only reliable way to fix boundaries on a disputed plot.
What the portal screen offers
On the official map site you pick the District, then the Tehsil, then the Village, and then type the Plot number in the search box. The map has a base map, a satellite layer, a labels layer and custom layers that you can switch on and off. A login option exists at the top of the page, but the village map itself opens without one.
The village and tehsil lists show a numeric code next to each name. Use the code together with the name when two villages have a similar name in the same tehsil.
How a map plot, a khasra and a khatauni fit together
| Document | Question it answers | Where to look |
|---|---|---|
| Village map (भू-नक्शा) | Where is the plot, what shape is it and who are its neighbours | UP Bhu Naksha |
| Khasra / gata | Which plot number is this and what is its area and use | UP Bhulekh |
| Khatauni | Who holds it and in what share | UP Bhulekh |
| Registered deed | How did the current holder get it | Seller and sub-registrar |
Keep all four in front of you. A buyer who only checks one of them can miss a boundary dispute or a co-holder. See Khasra Khatauni UP for reading the record and the cadastral map explained for how these maps are drawn.
Using the map to check road access and boundaries
Zoom in until the plot outline and the surrounding plot numbers are readable. Look for a recorded path or road along at least one side. A plot that is enclosed by other holdings on every side may have no legal approach. Turn on the satellite layer to compare the outline with what is on the ground, such as a canal, a tree line or a built structure.
Satellite is a guide, not a survey
The satellite layer helps you spot a mismatch. It does not replace a field measurement by the revenue staff (amin) or a licensed surveyor.
Buyer checklist before you rely on the map
- Confirm the district, tehsil and village on the sale deed match what you selected on the map.
- Check the plot number against the khatauni for the same village.
- Look at the neighbouring plots: a plot surrounded on all sides by other holdings needs a recorded approach path.
- Visit the site and walk the boundary with the seller and a neighbour.
- Ask the tehsil for the plot sketch if the digital map and the ground disagree.
- Keep a screenshot of the map with the date for your file.
Common mistakes
- Treating the map as proof of ownership.
- Choosing the wrong village with a similar name in the same tehsil.
- Skipping a physical measurement because the map looked clear.
- Assuming a drawn road is a public road.
