Bhuiyan Chhattisgarh: B-1, P-II (Khasra) and Naksha Online (2026 Guide)

At a glance

Chhattisgarh keeps land records by tehsil and by Patwari halka, with the Patwari maintaining village records and the Tehsildar deciding most revenue matters. Bhuiyan holds the textual records; Bhunaksha holds the matching maps.

B-1 and P-II: what each record shows

Chhattisgarh uses the record forms it inherited from the Madhya Pradesh land records system, so the names differ from the khatauni and khasra used in Uttar Pradesh. NIC describes them this way:

• B-1 (बी-1): the khatauni-type record. It is arranged by holder and lists the people recorded on a holding and all the khasra numbers that belong to it, with area and land revenue.
• P-II (पी-II), the khasra (खसरा): the plot-wise record. Each khasra number is one plot, with its area, land type, irrigation and crop entries, and remarks.

A buyer reads the two together. B-1 tells you whose holding it is and what else is in it; P-II tells you about the specific plot being sold. If you are used to North Indian records, our khasra and khatauni explainer covers the parallel.

Step by step: get B-1 and P-II

Bhuiyan's screens change from time to time, so the steps below describe the flow. The portal currently lists separate options for khasra details, B-1/P-II retrieval, retrieval by document ID, and an application for digitally signed B-1/P-II.

1. Open bhuiyan.cg.nic.in in a browser with JavaScript enabled; the portal says it needs JavaScript for interactive features.
2. To look up a plot, choose the khasra details option, then select the district, tehsil and village.
3. Search by khasra number or by the holder's name, depending on the options offered.
4. Open the result to read the holder, area and remarks for that khasra.
5. To get the B-1 and P-II, use the B-1/P-II option with the same district, tehsil and village selections, then the khasra or holder details.
6. For a digitally signed copy, use the digitally signed B-1/P-II option. NIC reports that these downloads are free. Keep the document ID shown on the copy, because the portal lets anyone retrieve a document by that ID to check it.
7. If you cannot download, ask at the Tehsil office, Sub-divisional Office or a CSC centre for a computerised copy.

How to read the records

Records are in Hindi. Go through each field with someone who reads the local revenue terms, and note each number in your own file.

• Holder names: every person recorded on the B-1. All co-holders usually need to join a sale, or the share being sold must be clear.
• Khasra numbers and area: the plot numbers and areas in P-II must match the draft sale deed. Chhattisgarh records commonly show area in hectares; check the unit on your copy and see our land measurement units guide to convert to acres.
• Land type and irrigation: whether the plot is recorded as agricultural, and whether it is irrigated or unirrigated.
• Remarks: look for entries on bank charges or mortgage, government land, Nazul, diversion to non-agricultural use, or pending revenue cases. Bhuiyan's own statistics separately count mortgaged, government, Nazul and diverted khasras, so these flags are recorded where they apply.

Write down the khasra numbers and the B-1 holder list exactly as shown. You will need them for the naksha, the sale deed and the mutation after purchase.

Naksha: the cadastral map

Chhattisgarh's cadastral maps, or naksha (नक्शा), are on Bhunaksha, which NIC says is integrated with Bhuiyan and covers almost all villages. Citizens can view area and distance measurements and owner-wise plot reports, and print maps from A4 plot maps up to A0 village maps. Bhunaksha also handles splitting, merging and renumbering of plots, and those changes flow into the mutation register.

Use the naksha to confirm that the khasra number on paper is the plot you were shown: compare its shape, the neighbouring khasra numbers and its road access. A map is a survey drawing; confirm the boundary on the ground through official measurement. Our guides on Bhu Naksha maps and land demarcation explain how.

Mutation and other Bhuiyan services

Mutation, called namantaran (नामांतरण) in Chhattisgarh, changes the holder's name in the records after a sale, inheritance or partition. Bhuiyan lets you apply for mutation, check mutation status and view a copy of the mutation register. NIC reports that Bhuiyan is linked with NGDRS, the registration system, for auto-mutation, so a registered sale can start the mutation process. Track the case anyway until the B-1 shows your name.

The portal also lists an owner-change fee page, a civil court case lookup, revenue court applications and a list of government khasras. We could not confirm the current mutation fee or the time limit for disposal; check on the portal or at the Tehsil office. For the general process, see our mutation guide.

What to check before you rely on it

• The B-1 holder names match the seller's identity documents, and all co-holders are joining the sale.
• The khasra numbers and areas in P-II match the draft sale deed and the naksha.
• The remarks show no bank charge or mortgage, or the seller has a plan to clear it before registration.
• The khasra is not in the government list, is not Nazul land, and its diversion status suits your plan.
• There is no pending mutation, revenue court or civil court case on the plot.
• If the recorded holder belongs to a Scheduled Tribe, the Chhattisgarh Land Revenue Code, 1959 has provisions restricting transfer of their land to non-tribal buyers. Confirm with the Tehsil office and a local advocate before any payment.
• Earlier deeds and encumbrances have been checked at the registration office. See our encumbrance certificate guide.

B-1 and P-II show who is recorded, not whether the title is free of defects. Our land due diligence checklist covers the remaining checks.
