Open the "Land Details Search" page on Bhu Bharati.

Type the captcha and see your land details and record of rights. The search page lists 32 districts. If yours is not in the list, you cannot search it here. Before buying, also look at "Prohibited Lands Details" on the home page.

If something goes wrong
If it is rejectedAgainst the Tahsildar’s decision on issuing a passbook, you can appeal to the RDO within 60 days.
Against the Tahsildar’s decision on issuing a passbook, you can appeal to the RDO within 60 days. Against an order on a record correction, appeal within 30 days to the next officer: the RDO for a Tahsildar’s order, the Collector for an RDO’s, the Land Tribunal for a Collector’s. A second appeal, within 30 days, goes to the Collector against the RDO’s appeal order, and to the Land Tribunal against the Collector’s. We found no order setting up a Land Tribunal; by the Act, until one is set up the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration (CCLA) acts as the Land Tribunal. The appeal fee is ₹1,000. The days count from when the order was given to you.
