MP Bhulekh: Khasra, B-1 (Khatauni) and Naksha Online (2026 Guide)

At a glance

The Madhya Pradesh Revenue Department moved its land records system to Web GIS 2.0 statewide on 30 July 2025, replacing the older Web GIS 1.0. The new version was first piloted in Narsinghpur and Seoni districts. It comes with a web portal and a mobile app, OTP-based e-KYC for applicants, and the option to request certified copies of several land records in a single application.

The three records you will see

Madhya Pradesh keeps land records under the MP Land Revenue Code, and the online system mirrors the registers your Patwari (पटवारी) maintains for each village. Three of them matter most to a buyer.

Khasra. The khasra is the plot-level register. Each survey number in a village has its own khasra entry showing the area, the holder or holders, the land class, irrigation source and the crop recorded in recent seasons. If you know the khasra number of the parcel you are being offered, this is the record to pull first.

B-1 (Khatauni). The B-1 is the holder-wise statement. Instead of starting from the plot, it starts from the account holder and lists every khasra number held under that account in the village, with the total area and land revenue. It is useful to see whether the seller's holding in the village is larger or smaller than what is being sold, and whether the account is jointly held with family members who would also need to sign.

Naksha (नक्शा). The naksha is the village cadastral map. On Web GIS 2.0 the map and the text records are linked, so you can click a parcel on the map to open its khasra. Our guide to Bhu Naksha cadastral maps explains how to read parcel boundaries, and Khasra and Khatauni explained covers the column-by-column meaning of both registers.

Area in MP records is normally shown in hectares. If the seller quotes in bigha, convert using our acre to bigha guide for Madhya Pradesh before you compare figures.

Free view vs certified copy

The portal offers two kinds of output, and it helps to know which one a bank, registrar or advocate will accept.

• Free view (uncertified). Anyone can search and view khasra, B-1 and map details without paying. This is enough for early due diligence: confirming that the survey number exists, that the seller's name appears and that the area matches.
• Certified copy (digitally signed). A certified copy carries a digital signature and can be used for registry, bank loans and revenue department work. You need to register on the portal, apply online and pay the fee shown at checkout. When Web GIS 2.0 launched, the state said certified khasra copies could also be delivered through WhatsApp.

Electronic records signed with a digital signature are recognised under the Information Technology Act, 2000. Even so, ask your bank or sub-registrar in advance which version they want, since some offices still ask for a copy collected from the tehsil.

Step by step: view a khasra free

1. Open webgis2.mpbhulekh.gov.in in a desktop browser. The map loads more reliably on a laptop than on a phone.
2. Choose your district, then tehsil, then village. If you have the village name in Hindi only, match it against the list carefully, as several villages can share similar names.
3. Search by khasra number or by holder name. If the parcel has a ULPIN (Unique Land Parcel Identification Number, the 14-character parcel ID issued under the national land records programme), you can search with it directly.
4. Open the record. Read the holder names, share, area, land type and any remarks column carefully.
5. Switch to the map view and locate the same parcel. Check that its shape and neighbours match what you saw on site.
6. Open the B-1 for the holder's account to see their full holding in the village.
7. Save or print the screen for your file, but treat it as a working copy only.

Step by step: get a certified copy

1. Register on the portal as a citizen user with your mobile number, then sign in. Web GIS 2.0 uses OTP-based e-KYC.
2. Choose the certified copy service and select the record type: khasra, B-1 or map.
3. Pick the district, tehsil, village and khasra number. You can add several records to one application.
4. Check the fee the portal calculates, then pay online.
5. Download the digitally signed copy from your account once it is issued. We could not confirm an official time limit for issue; most applicants should allow a few working days.

Keep the downloaded PDF itself, not a screenshot or reprint, because the digital signature only stays valid in the original file.

Mutation, naksha and other services

Viewing records and getting copies happens on Web GIS 2.0. Changes to the record, such as recording a sale, inheritance or partition, are a separate process called mutation or Namantaran (नामांतरण). In Madhya Pradesh these applications run through the Revenue Case Management System (RCMS) at rcms.mp.gov.in, where you can also track the status of a case. Read our mutation guide for what the process involves and why a buyer should insist on it after registry.

The holder's Bhu-adhikar pustika (भू-अधिकार पुस्तिका), the land rights book given to the holder, should match the online khasra and B-1. If it does not, ask why before going further.

If the map does not show the parcel where the seller says it is, a physical demarcation by the revenue department is the way to settle it. See our guide on land demarcation (nishandehi).

What to check before you rely on it

• Holder name and share. Every co-holder shown in the khasra or B-1 will normally need to be part of the sale. A single seller signing for a jointly held account is a common problem.
• Land class and remarks. Entries showing government land, forest, lease, Bhoodan or any restriction need an advocate's view before you proceed.
• Pending mutations. Check RCMS for any open case on the khasra. A pending case means the record can still change.
• Area mismatch. Compare the area in the khasra, the B-1 and the sale draft. Any difference should be explained in writing.
• Map vs ground. The parcel shape on the naksha should match the boundaries you walked. Our guide to matching a khasra to a plot on the map shows how.
• Online record is not title. Revenue records show possession and revenue liability. Title rests on the chain of registered deeds, so read how to check land title and confirm with a local advocate.
