Dakhil Kharij Uttarakhand: How to Check Online (2026 Guide)

What is dakhil kharij?

Dakhil kharij (दाखिल खारिज) is mutation: the entry in the revenue record that moves a holding into the new owner's name after a sale, inheritance, gift or partition. 'Dakhil' means entered and 'kharij' means removed, so one name is removed and another entered.

Mutation does not create ownership, but the khatauni is what the revenue office, banks and many buyers rely on. Read the mutation (dakhil kharij) guide for the general idea and mutation after death for inheritance. The record itself is covered in Khatauni Uttarakhand.

Checking mutation status online

Secondary sources say the Uttarakhand portal offers a mutation or dakhil kharij status view. We could not open bhulekh.uk.gov.in, so we cannot confirm the menu name, the details needed (application number, khasra, village), the stages shown, the statutory timeline, or any fee.

What you should look for on the live portal: the application or case number, the date it was filed, the current stage, any objection recorded, and the date of the order. Take a dated screenshot at each check. If the portal gives no result, ask the tehsil office for the status in writing.

Practical steps for a buyer

1. Register the sale deed first; see the land registration process.
2. Obtain the registered deed and any receipts.
3. Apply for mutation at the competent revenue office or through the route the portal offers. We could not confirm the exact application route or documents required.
4. Note the application number and date.
5. Check status periodically and respond to any notice or objection.
6. When the order is passed, check the khatauni to confirm your name and share appear correctly.

Notices of mutation are often served on neighbours or interested parties. If an objection is filed, the matter may go to the revenue court. We could not confirm the procedure in Uttarakhand, so seek local legal advice if this happens.

Mutation history as a due diligence tool

Pending or rejected mutations on the land you want to buy are a signal. Ask the seller for the last two mutation orders, compare them with the deeds, and check whether anyone objected. Use the how to verify land title guide for the wider title check.

Also look at encumbrance certificate guide for charges the revenue record may not show, and at stamp duty in Uttarakhand so you budget the stamp duty before registration.

Hill and plains land: why records feel different

Uttarakhand has two very different land-record worlds. In the plains districts (Haridwar, Udham Singh Nagar, and the plains parts of Dehradun and Nainital) holdings are usually surveyed fields in a regular village layout, much like neighbouring Uttar Pradesh. In the hill districts, holdings are often small, terraced, scattered across several plots and sometimes recorded in older units. Do not assume that a record that looks tidy for a plains village will look the same for a hill village.

Area units also differ. Hill land is commonly discussed in nali and mutthi, plains land more often in bigha, biswa or hectare. Our guide to nali, mutthi and bigha in Uttarakhand explains the conversions, and you should always ask the seller and the record to state the area in the same unit before you compare them. We could not confirm from an official page which unit each online record displays by default.

A second practical difference is access. Many hill plots have no motorable road and boundaries that follow terraces, streams or tree lines rather than straight survey lines. The paper record can therefore say one thing while the ground shows another. Walk the land with the seller, a neighbour and ideally the local revenue officer (patwari or lekhpal) before you pay anything.

Buying as an outsider: check the rules first

Uttarakhand restricts the purchase of agricultural land by people who are not residents of the state, and the rules have been amended more than once. We cover them in agricultural land rules in Uttarakhand and in the state-wise agricultural land purchase rules. Read those pages before you rely on any record, because a perfectly clean online record does not make a purchase permitted.

We could not confirm the current limit, the permission process or any exemptions from an official source for this article, so we do not quote figures here. Ask the sub-registrar or the district magistrate's office what applies to your category of buyer and your land use, and get the answer in writing. A buyer who ignores the permission rules risks a sale that the state can later challenge.

Buyer checklist before you pay

• Check the seller's own mutation history.
• Look for pending or disputed mutation entries.
• Register the deed and apply for mutation promptly.
• Keep application numbers and screenshots.
• Confirm the new khatauni entry after the order.
• Verify outsider-purchase permission before registration.

For the full process see our land due diligence checklist and how to verify land title. The online record is a screening tool. It supports a purchase decision but never replaces legal advice on title.

What is unconfirmed

We could not open the Uttarakhand land records portal itself (bhulekh.uk.gov.in) because our fetch tool was blocked by the site, so we could not confirm menu names, fees, login requirements or turnaround times on an official page. We also could not confirm the timeline for mutation, the fee, whether an online application is possible, or how disputes are escalated in Uttarakhand.

Compare with other states in our guide to checking land records online in India. If anything on the live portal differs from this page, trust the portal and tell us so we can correct the article.
