Meebhoomi Andhra Pradesh: Adangal, 1-B and Village Maps Online (2026 Guide)

At a glance

These are the points we could confirm from government sources. Where we could not confirm a detail, we say so.

Adangal and 1-B explained

Andhra Pradesh keeps two village records that buyers will see again and again.

Adangal (అడంగల్), also called pahani in the Telangana region and in older usage, is the village account kept for each survey number or sub-division. It typically shows the extent, the land classification, the person in possession or enjoyment and cultivation details, and so it reflects how the land is actually being used. Column layouts vary by period, so read the headings on the copy you download. The state's resurvey project still uses the Adangal as a reference record, which shows how central it remains.

ROR 1-B is the Record of Rights maintained under the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971. It lists the pattadar (registered holder) of each khata, with the survey numbers and extents held under it. A 2017 amendment to Section 6-C allows banks and other credit agencies to lend against the electronically maintained ROR 1-B without asking for the physical pattadar passbook, which shows the weight the state gives the online 1-B.

In short, 1-B tells you who the state records as holding the land, and Adangal tells you who is in possession and what is grown. When the two disagree, for example a different name in the enjoyment column, ask why before going further.

Step by step: Adangal and 1-B online

Meebhoomi restricts automated access, so we could not record its exact current menu names. Government pages have referred to "View Your Adangal", "View Your 1-B" and "Link Aadhaar" options. The general flow is:

1. Open meebhoomi.ap.gov.in and confirm the address ends in ap.gov.in.
2. Choose the Adangal option to see possession and cultivation details, or the 1-B option for the Record of Rights.
3. Pick how you want to search: survey number, account (khata) number, Aadhaar number or name of the holder.
4. Select the district, then the mandal, then the village.
5. Enter the survey number or other search value and the captcha shown.
6. Read the result and note the extent, the pattadar or enjoyer's name, the land classification and any remarks.
7. Download or print the page for your file. For a certified copy, apply through the Tahsildar's office or the local service channel; a fee applies under the 1971 Act.

Aadhaar linking and the e-passbook

Meebhoomi lets landowners check whether their Aadhaar number has been linked to their khata, and search records by Aadhaar. According to the Tirupati district administration, landowners can also access an electronic passbook showing their land details. The 2017 amendments to the 1971 Act moved the pattadar passbook and title deed towards a single electronically maintained "Title Deed cum Pass Book".

For a buyer, Aadhaar linking matters in two ways. First, a seller whose khata is linked can usually be traced on the portal more reliably than one who is not. Second, if the seller's Aadhaar is not linked, or is linked to a different khata, ask them to sort it out before registration. We could not confirm the current procedure or fee for linking or de-linking Aadhaar, so check at the Tahsildar's office or village secretariat.

Do not share your own Aadhaar number with a broker or third party to "check" records. You can search by survey number without it.

Village maps and the resurvey

Andhra Pradesh is in the middle of a statewide land resurvey run by the Survey, Settlements and Land Records department. Its Resurvey 2.0 presentation reports that 6,901 of 9,915 villages had been resurveyed, using drones, ground stations and field validation. In resurveyed villages, each parcel gets a land parcel (LP or LPM) number, and the final records include a village map, a land parcel map and a fresh Record of Rights and pattadar passbook.

This matters for buyers because old survey numbers in a resurveyed village may now correspond to new LP numbers, sub-divisions may have been merged, and extents may have changed. Ask the seller whether the village has been resurveyed, and if so, ask for the LP number and the new passbook. We could not confirm whether every village map is downloadable on Meebhoomi; check the portal for your village, and ask the mandal surveyor if it is not available. Our guides on cadastral maps and on land demarcation explain how to match the map to the ground.

Mutation, corrections and appeals

The 1971 Act sets out how records change. According to the state's MCR HRD Institute training material:

• Intimation: anyone acquiring rights by succession, partition, decree or similar means must inform the Tahsildar (Section 4(1)), and registering officers must inform the Tahsildar of registered sales, mortgages and gifts (Section 4(2)).
• Mutation: before amending the record, the Tahsildar must give notice to affected persons, hear them, hold an enquiry and pass an order (Section 5). The 2017 amendment to Section 6-A provides for mutation within fifteen days.
• Clerical errors: the Tahsildar can correct clerical errors in pass books (Section 5(6)).
• Appeal: an order of the Tahsildar under Section 5 can be appealed to the Revenue Divisional Officer within 60 days (Rule 21(1)); appeals are to be decided within six months.
• Revision: the Collector has revision powers over orders under Sections 3, 5, 5-A and 5-B.

To correct an Adangal or 1-B entry, start at the Tahsildar's office with the Meebhoomi printout, your registered deeds and identity documents. We could not confirm the current online grievance route, fee or processing time. For contested ownership, consult a local advocate before you file. See our mutation guide and correcting errors in online land records for the general approach.

What to check before you rely on it

• 1-B versus Adangal: the pattadar on 1-B and the enjoyer on Adangal should match, or the difference should be explained by a lease or family arrangement in writing.
• Extent: the extent being sold should not exceed the seller's recorded extent.
• Land classification: government, assigned, inam or endowment classifications need an advocate's review before you proceed.
• Resurvey status: in resurveyed villages, compare the old survey number with the new LP number and passbook.
• Pending mutation or appeal: ask at the Tahsildar's office whether any mutation, correction or appeal is pending on the survey number.
• Encumbrances: Meebhoomi does not replace an encumbrance certificate from the registration department.
