How to Check Jamabandi, Khatiyan and LPC Online in Patna (2026)

How to check jamabandi online for land in Patna (step by step)

1. Open biharbhumi.bihar.gov.in and click "जमाबंदी पंजी देखें" (View Jamabandi Register). No login needed.
2. Choose district Patna and your anchal (circle) — e.g. Danapur, Phulwari, Sampatchak, Punpun, Bihta, Naubatpur. Patna district has 23 circles. Yours is written on the deed or rent receipt.
3. Choose the halka and mauza (revenue village).
4. Pick one search option: volume-page number, holder's name, khata, khesra (plot), old jamabandi number or computerised jamabandi number. Or list the mauza's whole register by name.
5. Enter the security code, click Search, then View next to the right jamabandi.

If a button label differs slightly, the sequence stays the same (checked 14 October 2026).

What does the online jamabandi show?

• Holder's name, father's name and address
• Khata, khesra, area and boundaries (chauhaddi)
• Rent fixed and the year up to which it has been paid
• Mutation cases that took area out of this jamabandi online since 2017-18
• Any land mortgage recorded
• Changes made at circle level
• Cases pending in revenue courts

Mortgages and court cases appear only if they have been entered online. "Nothing shown" does not prove "nothing exists".

Area is in acres and decimals. 1 acre = 100 decimal = 43,560 sq ft, and 1 decimal = 435.6 sq ft. A Patna kattha is about 3.125 decimal ≈ 1,361.25 sq ft = 20 dhur. The kattha varies a little by locality, so go by the area written in the deed. Quick maths: kattha converter.

Jamabandi not online, or has a mistake? What to do

Old jamabandis were typed in from handwritten registers, so errors in names, khata-khesra, area or rent are common. The fix is the Parimarjan Plus portal:

• Error in name, father's name, address, khata-khesra, area, boundaries or rent → apply on Parimarjan Plus with evidence. The Circle Officer corrects it after inquiry.
• An old jamabandi that is running (receipts are issued) but isn't online → apply on Parimarjan Plus to have the missed jamabandi digitised.
• Jamabandi entered under the wrong mauza → this needs an offline application to the Circle Officer.

The key point for buyers: if the seller's jamabandi is not online, or doesn't carry the full area being sold, your mutation will get stuck. Get the seller to fix it through Parimarjan first, then close the deal. The Revenue Department's own FAQ says this. The full mutation process is in our dakhil-kharij (mutation) online guide.

How to get a khatiyan online (Bhu-Abhilekh portal)

1. Open bhuabhilekh.bihar.gov.in and click Public Login.
2. Log in with your mobile number (register first if you're new).
3. Choose the document type and fill in district, circle, mauza, khata, khesra, party name, etc., then Search.
4. Click View to see the scanned record.
5. For a digitally signed (certified) copy, click Apply for Download Copy, and select the pages. Pay the fee shown and keep the receipt. Track it under "Track Application".

The portal has cadastral and revisional khatiyans, revenue maps, jamabandi copies, mutation registers and several kinds of case records. Not every mauza's records may be scanned yet.

Village maps are on the Bhu-Naksha portal, and the department also offers doorstep delivery of revenue maps.

How to apply for an LPC (land possession certificate) online

1. On Bihar Bhumi, click "ऑनलाइन एलपीसी आवेदन करें" (apply for LPC online) and log in with your mobile number (register if new).
2. Choose district and circle and start a new LPC application.
3. Find your jamabandi by halka, mauza and khata/khesra/name/jamabandi number and click Select.
4. Rent must be up to date. If there are arrears, pay land rent first on bhulagan.bihar.gov.in. The LPC button only works after that. Steps: how to pay lagan online.
5. Fill in name, address and purpose. Upload the self-declaration and any other evidence as a PDF. Check the preview, click Final Submit and keep the acknowledgement.
6. Track it under "LPC application status". Once approved, download the certificate from there.

What is an LPC? The department's revenue glossary calls it a certificate of actual possession of land (bhumi dakhal-kabza praman patra). It is issued at circle level. It is usually needed to get compensation in land acquisition cases.

What to match online before buying a plot in Patna

After buying: keep paying land rent in your own name. And switch on Bihar Bhumi's SMS alert for your khesra. You get a message before any change, such as a mutation, is made on it. For owners living outside Patna, this is essential.

Map, mutation status, mortgage, registration ban, court cases and e-Mapi, all in one place: Bihar Land Records Online: every record for Patna land.

What should you do? (our advice)

• Before paying any token or advance, get the khata and khesra from the seller and check the jamabandi yourself. Don't rely on a screenshot the seller sends.
• Match the details closely: father's name, area and boundaries too.
• The online record is the first check, not the last. Original papers, possession, an amin's measurement and the access road need a site visit. Full list: Patna plot buying guide.
• Check the master plan zone too: Patna Master Plan 2031 explained.
• With an old khatiyan, Kaithi papers or a tangled family tree, get the papers checked by someone experienced.

Jamabandi, khatiyan and LPC: frequently asked questions

1. What is the difference between an old and a new jamabandi?

   Jamabandis from before online mutation began in 2017-18 were digitised from handwritten registers. These are "old". Those created automatically by online mutations since then are "new". Most errors are in old jamabandis.

2. What is the fee for an LPC, and how long does it take?

   The department's LPC notice does not state a fee or a time limit. Websites quote different numbers of days, so don't rely on them. Keep checking the status online. If it is stuck, call your Circle Officer's official number.

3. A bank or office has asked me for an LPC. Who issues it?

   In the circle office, the Revenue Officer, who works under the Circle Officer (CO), is empowered to issue it. Ask the bank or office which format they need before you apply.

4. My old khatiyan is in Kaithi script. How do I read it?

   Many old Patna khatiyans and deeds are in Kaithi. Bihar Bhumi links to a Kaithi document translation service. Khatiyan types (CS, RS, chakbandi) are explained in our khatiyan guide.
