Jamabandi Punjab: View Land Records Online (2026)
How to view a Punjab jamabandi on the state's official land records portal, which search options exist, and how a buyer should read the result.
Punjab runs its land records on a Revenue Department portal at jamabandi.punjab.gov.in, branded Easy Jamabandi. You can view a jamabandi (เจเจฎเฉเจนเจพเจเจฌเฉฐเจฆเฉ) there by owner name, khewat, khasra or khatauni number, without going to the tehsil. This guide shows the steps and what to check before you buy.
What is a Punjab jamabandi?
A jamabandi is the record of rights for a village. It lists each landowner, the khewat (joint holding) and khatauni (individual holding) numbers, the khasra (field) numbers and the area held. In Punjab, area is recorded in kanal and marla; see our guide to marla, kanal and killa in Punjab.
The jamabandi shows the recorded owner. It does not by itself prove clean title. For the difference between the jamabandi and a fard, read Jamabandi and Fard explained.
The official Punjab land records portal
The Punjab Department of Revenue, Rehabilitation and Disaster Management runs the portal at jamabandi.punjab.gov.in. Press reports in 2025 named it Easy Jamabandi and gave the address easyjamabandi.punjab.gov.in. The menu we saw on the home page includes:
- View Jamabandi, View Mutation, View Roznamcha and View Registered Deed
- Fard Request Status and Track Application
- Grievance Redressal (submit and track)
- FAQ and User Manual
Menu names can change when the portal is updated, so treat the labels above as a guide and look for the closest match.
How to view a jamabandi online
- Open jamabandi.punjab.gov.in.
- Choose View Jamabandi from the menu.
- Select the district, tehsil, village and the jamabandi year offered on screen.
- Pick a search type (owner name, khewat, khasra or khatauni) and enter the value.
- Submit and open the matching record.
The portal page we checked did not state a fee for viewing a jamabandi. A June 2025 Tribune report on the launch said a jamabandi copy is free and that the digitally signed copy carries a QR code for verification. Confirm this on the portal when you use it.
Search by khasra, then cross-check by owner
Search by khasra number first, because it points to the exact field. Then search by the seller's name to see whether the seller holds other khewats that may be tied up in the same family holding.
Four ways to search
| Search type | Use it when |
|---|---|
| Owner name wise | You know the seller but not the land numbers |
| Khewat number wise | You want the full joint holding and all co-owners |
| Khasra number wise | You want one specific field |
| Khatauni number wise | You want one owner's share within a khewat |
Our explainer on khasra and khatauni covers how these numbers relate.
WhatsApp copy and record subscription
The portal lists Jamabandi on WhatsApp as an online service, where you enter your details and receive a copy. It also lists a Subscribe to Your Land Records service. Tribune reported in 2025 that this costs Rs 500 per year per khewat and sends alerts by WhatsApp or email when the record changes, with a way to raise objections. These figures come from press reports, so check the current charge on the portal before paying.
For a buyer, a subscription on the khewat you purchase is a cheap early warning if someone tries to alter the entry after your deal.
How a buyer should read the jamabandi
- The seller's name must match the name on the sale papers, including every co-owner of the khewat.
- Check that the area and khasra numbers match what you were shown on site.
- Look for mortgage, lien or other remarks in the record. A remark means you need the explanation in writing before any payment.
- Check the mutation history through View Mutation. See mutation status in Punjab.
- Compare the field with the map. See Bhu Naksha Punjab and cadastral maps explained.
An online view is good for screening. For a purchase, get a certified fard as well; see Fard Punjab online. Also check land-use limits in agricultural land rules in Punjab.
What is unconfirmed
We could not confirm from a primary source the exact jamabandi years available for every village, the current fee for any certified print, or whether the older PLRS address still redirects. If a village shows no record or an old year only, ask the patwari or tehsil office. Compare with other states in our guide to checking land records online in India.
Other records on the same portal
The jamabandi is only one of several records the Revenue Department portal lets you open. For a land buyer, three of them are worth using alongside it.
- View Roznamcha: the portal lists a search by rapat number or waqiati number. A rapat is a daily diary entry, so this is where you can see what was logged against a holding, such as a court order or a loan entry.
- View Registered Deed: lets you cross-check what was actually registered against what the seller tells you.
- View MGMN Final Map-2 and Map-3 data: listed on the home page. We could not confirm what these datasets contain for your village, so do not rely on them for boundaries without checking the map and the site.
The portal states that digital records have been available since 2002 and that no physical visit is required. Treat that as the portal's own description, not a promise that every village shows every year.
Common problems and what to do
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| Seller's name differs from the sale papers | Stop and ask for the mutation or correction record. Fard badar is the listed correction service; see Fard Punjab online. |
| Record still shows the old owner | Check whether the mutation was sanctioned. See Mutation status Punjab. |
| Land is not found by khasra | Search by owner name or khewat instead, and confirm the village and tehsil you selected. |
| Remarks you do not understand | Ask the patwari to explain them in writing before you pay any token amount. |
A press report on the portal described a mutation that had been pending with the patwari for about three years and was cleared within a day after a senior district officer stepped in. The same report said services run round the clock, that a service assistant can be requested to visit your home, and that helpline 1076 is available. We could not confirm how the home visit is booked or whether it carries a charge.
Quick buyer checklist
- Search by khasra, then by seller name, and save both results.
- Match every co-owner of the khewat with the people signing.
- Open View Registered Deed and View Roznamcha for the same holding.
- Subscribe to the khewat if you proceed, so changes reach you by alert.
- Get a certified fard close to signing.
Screenshots are not a record
Save the signed copy with its QR code rather than a screenshot, so the copy can be checked later.
