Patna Circle Officer mobile numbers and emails: full list

In Bihar, land work is handled by the circle office (anchal karyalay). The 23 circles, grouped by sub-division:

Each number belongs to the post ("Circle Officer, Danapur"), not to a person. If a number doesn't connect, open the official page for the latest one, or call the SDM listed below. Confirm the office address and timings before you visit.

Area guides (anchal, CO, registry office, Master Plan) for Danapur, Bihta, Naubatpur and Phulwari Sharif.

How do I find out which circle my land is in?

• Rent receipt or jamabandi: both show the district, circle, halka and mauza.
• Sale deed (kewala): it lists the mauza, thana number and circle.
• Online: on Bihar Bhumi, open "View Jamabandi Register" (जमाबंदी पंजी देखें), pick Patna and look for your mauza under the circles. Step by step: Bihar land records online guide.

A Patna trap: colony names and circle names often don't match. An address may say "Danapur" while the mauza is recorded in another circle. Go by the papers, never by the postal address.

Patliputra, Bankipur, Kankarbagh "anchal": these are Nagar Nigam circles

In Patna city the word "anchal" is used for two different offices:

• Revenue circle (CO): the 23 circles above. Mutation (dakhil-kharij), jamabandi, rent receipts, LPC and land measurement are handled here.
• Nagar Nigam circle (Patna Municipal Corporation): Patliputra, New Capital (Nutan Rajdhani), Bankipur, Kankarbagh, Azimabad and Patna City. They handle holding tax and sanitation, under an Executive Officer, not a CO.

Holding tax work? Use the numbers below. Land mutation or jamabandi? Call the CO of the revenue circle on your rent receipt.

What does a Circle Officer (CO) do?

CO or BDO? Patna's 23 blocks carry the same names as the 23 circles, so people mix them up. For mutation, jamabandi, LPC, survey or the rent receipt, call the CO, not the BDO. The BDO number of every block is in the collapsed box at the bottom.

Work stuck at the circle office? Take these 5 steps in order

1. Check the online status first. The portal shows where your mutation, LPC or parimarjan application stands. If a document or reply has been asked for, deal with that first.
2. Call or email the CO. In the email, give the application number, mauza, khata-khesra and how long it has been pending. An email also gives you a written record.
3. File a complaint on Bihar Bhumi. The portal has "Jan Shikayat Portal" and "Register Complaint" links.
4. File a grievance under Lok Shikayat (how, below).
5. Disagree with the CO's order? Appeal. An appeal against a mutation order goes to the Deputy Collector Land Reforms (DCLR) within 30 days of the order. An order is challenged by appeal, not by a complaint.

How to complain about a Circle Officer: Bihar Lok Shikayat

Under the Bihar Right to Public Grievance Redressal Act, 2015, you get a timely hearing and a written decision. The portal says it has been in force since 5 June 2016.

• Online: lokshikayat.bihar.gov.in → "Register new grievance" (नया परिवाद दर्ज करें). Track its status on the same site.
• Phone: toll-free 1800 345 6284 (daily, 9:30 am to 6:30 pm), to file and to check status.
• In person: at the counter of the sub-divisional or district Public Grievance Redressal Officer.

Encroachment, land measurement, rent receipts and copies not given all qualify. Title disputes and orders like a mutation rejection don't. The full list is in the collapsed box at the bottom.

Sub-Divisional Officer (SDM) contacts: Patna district

If things don't move at the circle level, contact your sub-division's officer:

District level: the district's revenue officer is the Additional Collector (ADM, Revenue): 0612-2218249, 9473191199, acpatna1@gmail.com. The appeal against a mutation order still goes to the DCLR within 30 days.

What should you do? (our advice)

• Keep everything in writing. Save application numbers, receipts, emails and portal screenshots. A grievance or an appeal runs on them.
• Don't pay anyone for a "setting". The mutation application is free. A middleman asking for money is itself illegal, and that payment usually comes back to haunt you.
• Check before you buy that the seller's jamabandi is correct. Also check that no other mutation application or case is on that khesra. Most stuck mutations start there. Full checklist: plot buying guide for Patna.
• Living outside Patna? Use email and the online Lok Shikayat route. Our guide: buying property in Patna from outside.
