कम्प्यूटरीकृत Kerala रिकॉर्ड खोजने के मुख्य तरीके (Four Official Search Modes)
Department of Survey and Land Records & Land Revenue Commissionerate, Kerala के आधिकारिक पोर्टल पर डिजिटल Thandaper Account & Patta और कैडस्ट्रल FMB Sketch देखने के 4 मुख्य विकल्प उपलब्ध हैं। अपनी सुविधा के अनुसार किसी भी एक विकल्प का चयन करें:
Resurvey Number & Block Number द्वारा खोजें
सर्वोत्तम विकल्प: यदि आपके पास पंजीकृत बैनामा (Sale Deed) या ऋण पुस्तिका है, तो उसमें दर्ज Resurvey Number & Block Number (उदा. 104, 104/1, 256/2) दर्ज करें।
- प्लॉट की सटीक चौहद्दी और क्षेत्रफल तुरंत दिखाता है।
- विवादित या बंधक स्थिति की जांच के लिए सबसे सटीक तरीका।
Thandaper Number संख्या द्वारा खोजें
संयुक्त जोत जांच: Thandaper Number डालने पर उस खाते में दर्ज सभी सह-खातेदारों के नाम और कुल भूमि रकबा एक ही पेज पर खुल जाता है।
- परिवार के सभी हिस्सेदारों के कुल खसरे एक साथ देखें।
- खाते पर कोई बैंक ऋण या कोर्ट स्टे है तो टिप्पणी कॉलम में प्रदर्शित होता है।
खातेदार / रैयत के नाम द्वारा खोजें
यदि गाटा/खाता संख्या नहीं मालूम: किसान या भू-स्वामी के नाम के पहले 2-3 अक्षर पोर्टल के ऑन-स्क्रीन कीबोर्ड से टाइप करें।
- नाम के साथ पिता या पति का नाम मिलाकर सही खाते का चयन करें।
- स्पेलिंग अंतर होने पर हमेशा Resurvey Number & Block Number से खोज का उपयोग करें।
Pokkuvaravu / केस संख्या द्वारा
हालिया रजिस्ट्री या विरासत: बैनामा कराने के बाद नाम दर्ज हुआ या नहीं, यह जानने के लिए दाखिल-खारिज आवेदन संख्या या आदेश दिनांक से खोजें।
- तहसीलदार/नायब तहसीलदार न्यायालय का नामांतरण आदेश डाउनलोड करें।
- दाखिल-खारिज आदेश पारित होते ही कम्प्यूटरीकृत रिकॉर्ड में नाम अपडेट हो जाता है।
अपनी जमीन का प्रकार चुनें (Select Property Type in Kerala)
Kerala में विभिन्न प्रकार की संपत्तियों का रिकॉर्ड अलग-अलग सरकारी पोर्टल्स और राजस्व शाखाओं में सुरक्षित होता है। अपनी जरूरत के अनुसार सही श्रेणी का चयन करें:
1. कृषि भूमि (Agricultural Land)
ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों की खेती योग्य भूमि, बाग, चरागाह और सिंचित/असिंचित जोत।
2. ग्रामीण आबादी एवं घर (Rural Abadi)
गांव के लाल डोरा / आबादी क्षेत्र में बने पैतृक मकान और रिहायशी बाउंड्री।
3. शहरी एवं नगर पालिका क्षेत्र (Urban Property)
नगर निगम, नगर पालिका या विकास प्राधिकरण (DA) सीमा के अंतर्गत आने वाली संपत्तियां।
4. आवासीय प्लॉट एवं फ्लैट्स (Deed Registry)
कॉलोनी में खरीदे गए प्लॉट, बिल्डर फ्लैट और कॉमर्शियल दुकानें।

जमीन का रिकॉर्ड खोजने से पहले आवश्यक जानकारी (Details Required Before Searching Land Records)
Keep these details ready before searching on Ente Bhoomi, E-Rekha & Revenue E-Services:
- Location path: Select your District → Taluk → Village → Block Number from the dropdown menus.
- Resurvey Number & Block Number (or Old Survey Number): Locates your parcel on the village map and shows boundary dimensions.
- Thandaper Number: Displays all plots registered under a single family or owner.
- Landowner name: Use this search option if you do not know the plot or account number.
What to do if your Kerala land record is not found online
While the majority of revenue villages in Kerala are digitized under the Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP), certain records may not appear in the online search. This typically happens in rural consolidation (chakkbandi) areas, newly bifurcated tehsils, parcels under ongoing consolidation court proceedings, or forest fringe zones.
Visit your jurisdictional Tehsil, Taluk, or Anchal revenue counter with your village name, Khasra or Khatauni reference, and owner name.
Submit an application for a certified manual copy of the Thandaper Account extract or survey sketch from the Village Office or Taluk Revenue Record Section. Fees are payable as per the Kerala DSLR and revenue fee schedule with an official receipt.
If your village map sheet does not show parcel lines, submit a demarcation request (*Paimaish* / *Mojani*) through the Revenue Inspector or government surveyor (*Amin* / *Patwari*).
Village-level Common Service Centers (CSC) can verify if your record was recently locked during annual Jamabandi revision or pending mutation entry.
खेत / प्लॉट का भू-नक्शा (शजरा मैप) ऑनलाइन कैसे देखें और डाउनलोड करें? (How to View & Download Plot Map)
The cadastral map shows parcel boundaries, dimensions, and neighboring plots. Follow these five steps:
- Open the official Kerala mapping portal (Kerala Revenue E-Services).
- Select your District → Taluk → Village → Block Number in the location menu to load the village map sheet.
- Enter your Resurvey Number & Block Number (or Old Survey Number) in the search box, or click directly on the land parcel inside the village map.
- Review the owner names, plot area, and land classification displayed in the verification panel.
- Click Map Report or Sketch PDF to save the plot map with its scale and north arrow.
erekha.kerala.gov.in. भू-नक्शे पर खेत की सीमाएं, रास्ता और सरकारी संकेत कैसे समझें? (Understanding Plot Boundaries & Map Symbols)
Official village cadastral sheets (FMB Sketch (Field Measurement Book) & Resurvey Map) use standardized cartographic symbols. Use this decoder to identify access roads, canals, and plot boundaries:
When reviewing plot numbers on the FMB Sketch (Field Measurement Book) & Resurvey Map, note the distinction between sub-divided and undivided parcels:
• Bata Khasra (e.g. 142/1, 142/2): Indicates an officially surveyed sub-division with defined boundary lines plotted on the cadastral map.
• Minjumla Khasra (e.g. 142 Min): Indicates an undivided co-share where the owner's legal fraction is recorded in the ledger, but specific boundary lines have not yet been demarcated on the physical map sheet.
If you are purchasing a Minjumla parcel, insist on an official boundary demarcation (Haddbandi / Seemankan under Kerala Land Revenue & Tenancy Regulations (administered by Department of Survey and Land Records & Land Revenue Commissionerate, Kerala)) before signing the final sale deed to ensure undisputed physical possession.
ऑनलाइन खसरा-खतौनी (जमीन का रिकॉर्ड) निकालने की पूरी प्रक्रिया (How to Check Land Ownership Record Online)
The Thandaper Account & Patta (Pattayam) confirms ownership, share extent, and bank mortgage remarks. Follow these steps:
- Open E-Rekha Kerala (Survey Maps & FMB) (erekha.kerala.gov.in) in your web browser.
- Select the option to view Thandaper Account & Patta (Pattayam) on the home screen.
- Choose your District → Taluk → Village → Block Number and the current revenue year.
- Select your search method (Resurvey Number & Block Number (or Old Survey Number), Thandaper Number, or Owner Name), enter the value, and submit the captcha code.
- Check each co-owner's share, total land area, and the remarks column, then print or save the PDF copy.
If you do not have your Resurvey Number & Block Number (or Old Survey Number) or Thandaper Number, follow these simple steps:
1. Select your District → Taluk → Village → Block Number as usual.
2. Click the search tab labeled खातेदार के नाम द्वारा खोजें (Search by Landholder Name).
3. Type the first 1 to 2 letters of the recorded owner name using the on-screen phonetic keyboard.
4. Select the matching name from the citizen list to reveal all registered Resurvey Number & Block Number (or Old Survey Number) numbers, total landholding area, and co-sharer details.
खतौनी / जमाबंदी में इन जरूरी जानकारियों की जांच अवश्य करें (Key Details to Verify on Your Land Record)
Official revenue extracts on Ente Bhoomi, E-Rekha & Revenue E-Services use five standard columns. Use this table to verify each section before buying land or applying for a loan:
| Document Column | Meaning in Kerala | Buyer Verification Action |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Thandaper Number | Unique ledger number assigned to a landowner or joint family holding in the village. | Match the seller's name and parent or spouse name with their Aadhaar card and sale deed. |
| 2. Resurvey Number & Block Number (or Old Survey Number) | Unique parcel number on the village cadastral map (FMB Sketch (Field Measurement Book) & Resurvey Map). | Confirm that the plot number on the Thandaper Account & Patta (Pattayam) matches the parcel on the FMB Sketch (Field Measurement Book) & Resurvey Map. |
| 3. Land Area and Share | Total parcel area and each co-owner's fractional share. | Verify that the sale area stays within the seller's recorded share using the Area Unit Calculator. |
| 4. Land Classification | Category of land: Purayidam (Dry/Garden/Residential Land), Nilam (Paddy/Wetland), Pandaravaka, Jenmom, and Puramboke (Government).. | Confirm that the parcel belongs to a private transferable land category. |
| 5. Remarks and Mutation | Lists Pokkuvaravu (Transfer of Registry / Mutation) orders, crop loans (KCC), bank mortgages, and court orders. | Confirm that the remarks column shows a clear title for the parcel. |
Before paying any advance for land in Kerala, carefully inspect the Remarks Column (विवरण / अन्य विवरण). Look for entries stating "बंधक" (Mortgage), bank loan liens, or court stay orders (न्यायालय स्थगनादेश). If an outstanding registered mortgage or bank lien is recorded, a Bank No-Objection Certificate (NOC) alone is insufficient to clear title. A formal Deed of Reconveyance or Release of Mortgage must be executed by the lending institution and registered at the competent Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) under the Registration Act, 1908. Following registration, an application must be filed before the local revenue office (such as the Tehsil, Taluk Office, or BL&LRO) with the registered release deed to formally discharge the bank's charge or lien entry from the Record of Rights.
While the Thandaper Account serves as the official fiscal revenue ledger for Basic Tax collection, the Basic Tax Register (BTR) and Field Measurement Book (FMB) reflect surveyed boundaries and revenue classifications. The Supreme Court has established that revenue entries and Pokkuvaravu (mutation) do not confer or extinguish legal ownership title (Bhimabai Mahadeo Kambekar v. Arthur Import & Export Co. (2019) 3 SCC 191). Legal ownership must be verified through registered title deeds, Encumbrance Certificates from the Sub-Registrar Office, and physical possession.
भू-आधार (ULPIN): 14-अंकीय विशिष्ट भू-खंड पहचान संख्या (14-Digit Land Parcel Identifier)
Under the Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP), revenue authorities in Kerala (കേരളം) are linking agricultural and non-agricultural plots with Bhu-Aadhaar (also known as ULPIN: Unique Land Parcel Identification Number).
Just as a 12-digit Aadhaar uniquely identifies an Indian citizen, a 14-character alphanumeric Bhu-Aadhaar uniquely identifies a specific piece of geographic land on earth. It is generated from the exact GPS latitude and longitude of the plot corners based on international ISO 19152 Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) standards.
| ULPIN Code Segment | Standard Administrative Level | Role in Land Registry & Verification |
|---|---|---|
| Characters 1 and 2 | State Census Code (32) | Specifies the state jurisdiction (Kerala prefix: 32). |
| Characters 3 and 4 | District Census Code | Identifies the revenue district authority. |
| Characters 5, 6, and 7 | Sub-District / Tehsil Code | Identifies the local Tehsil, Taluka, or Anchal office. |
| Characters 8, 9, and 10 | Revenue Village / Mauza Code | Locates the village survey map where the Resurvey Number & Block Number is situated. |
| Characters 11 to 14 | GIS Centroid Coordinate Hash | Unique spatial coordinates calculated from the parcel boundary polygon. |
Type or paste your 14-character Bhu-Aadhaar code from your computer-generated Thandaper Account & Patta to verify its structure:
Provides a single 14-character alphanumeric reference standard based on parcel boundary vertices coordinates under the ISO 19152 Land Administration Domain Model.
Serves as a common identifier across revenue, survey, and registration departments to reduce cadastral ambiguity in participating states.
Enables linking of textual Record of Rights (RoR) data directly with computerized GIS village maps (Bhu Naksha) where surveys are finalized.
Printed in the header of computerized land records and visible on the official state cadastral map portal for surveyed villages.

जमीन खरीदने से पहले जरूरी कानूनी जांच एवं विवाद निवारण प्रक्रिया (Property Buyer Verification & Dispute Appeals)
Land administration and records of rights in Kerala (കേരളം) follow the Kerala Land Revenue & Tenancy Regulations (administered by Department of Survey and Land Records & Land Revenue Commissionerate, Kerala). Before buying land or settling a boundary dispute, complete these seven due diligence checks:
Seven property checks before buying land in Kerala
| Due Diligence Step | What to Verify on Ente Bhoomi, E-Rekha & Revenue E-Services | Critical Legal Risk / Red Flag |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Title & Fractional Share Match | Cross-verify the seller's name, parent/spouse name, and exact fraction in the Thandaper Account & Patta register against the Sub-Registrar registered deed. | Red Flag: Discrepancy between the registered Sale Deed and the live computerized Thandaper Account & Patta. Never purchase property based solely on an unverified power of attorney (GPA). |
| 2. Electronic Evidence Admissibility (Section 63 BSA 2023) | Download a Digitally Signed QR Copy from Ente Bhoomi, E-Rekha & Revenue E-Services or obtain a certified copy from the respective Tehsil / Revenue office. | Red Flag: Uncertified portal printouts serve for informational reference only. For judicial proceedings, bank mortgages, or statutory registrations, obtain an officially certified extract or digitally signed copy bearing QR validation as governed by Sections 63 and 74-76 of Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023. |
| 3. Encumbrance & Bank Liens | Inspect Remarks Column 7/8/9 of the Thandaper Account & Patta and verify 12 to 30 year Encumbrance Certificates (EC) on the state registration portal. | Red Flag: Undisclosed Kisan Credit Card (KCC) agricultural loans, cooperative bank hypothecations, or commercial bank mortgage charges. |
| 4. Pending Litigation & Stay Orders | Check if the Resurvey Number & Block Number (or Old Survey Number) has pending succession (Varasat) disputes, partition suits, or revenue court injunction orders. | Red Flag: Buying land subject to pending litigation under Kerala Land Revenue & Tenancy Regulations (administered by Department of Survey and Land Records & Land Revenue Commissionerate, Kerala).

| 6. Land Use & NA Conversion Order | If buying for residential or commercial construction, verify the formal Non-Agricultural (NA / Diversion / Bastu / CLU) order number. | Red Flag: Constructing on unconverted agricultural land risks demolition and heavy penalties under state town planning and revenue codes. |
| 7. Ground Chauhaddi & Cadastral Naksha Match | Measure the parcel physically and match all 4 boundaries (North, South, East, West) with the scaled village map (`1:4000`). | Red Flag: Encroachment by neighboring plots or mismatch between physical ground boundaries and the digitized cadastral sheet. |

दाखिल-खारिज (नामांतरण) केस की स्थिति ऑनलाइन कैसे चेक करें? (Check Mutation Status Online)
After executing a registered sale deed, gift deed, or succession filing in Kerala (കേരളം), completing Pokkuvaravu is mandatory to substitute the seller or deceased owner's name with your name in the official Thandaper Account & Patta. Follow this tracking guide on E-Rekha Kerala (Survey Maps & FMB):
1. By Revenue Court Case Number (वाद संख्या): Enter the official computerized case number generated during application filing.
2. By Registered Deed Number (दस्तावेज संख्या): Enter the Sub-Registrar deed number, volume, and registration year from your sale deed.
3. By Applicant or Party Name: Search by buyer name or seller name with father/husband name in Devanagari or English.
4. By Resurvey Number & Block Number / Mauza: Select your District → Taluk → Village and enter your plot number to see all pending or disposed mutation cases.
Statutory mutation approval stages in Kerala
| Mutation Stage | Statutory Procedure & Officer Action | What Citizen Must Verify |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Application Submission & Filing Acknowledgment | Application submitted online on the official Kerala revenue portal (Ente Bhoomi, E-Rekha & Revenue E-Services) or at the local Tehsil / Sub-Divisional counter, generating a computerized Case / Application Number. | Secure the computerized filing receipt and record the official application tracking number. |
| 2. Statutory Public Notice & Objections | Public notice is issued inviting objections in accordance with statutory procedures under applicable State Land Revenue Act and Rules. The notice period allows recorded right-holders to submit valid claims. | Check the specific notice expiration date indicated on your case acknowledgment receipt. Undisputed cases proceed for field verification. |
| 3. Field Verification & Possession Report | The designated local revenue officer (Village Revenue Officer, Revenue Inspector, or Patwari) visits the ground to verify peaceful physical possession and boundary compliance. | Confirm that the field verification report has been endorsed and submitted to the competent revenue authority without adverse remarks. |
| 4. Hearing & Competent Authority Order | The designated Revenue Officer (Tahsildar, Circle Officer, or Sub-Divisional Magistrate) reviews statutory verification reports, examines deed validity, and passes the formal mutation order. | Download or obtain a certified copy of the signed disposal order. Confirm that plot extent and buyer details are accurately sanctioned. |
| 5. Computerized Record of Rights (RoR) Update | The computerized revenue cell executes the order, formally updating the official Thandaper Account & Patta (Pattayam) ledger and issuing the updated ownership extract. | Download a fresh copy of your computerized Thandaper Account & Patta (Pattayam) from Ente Bhoomi, E-Rekha & Revenue E-Services to verify that your ownership title is officially recorded. |
If a co-sharer or third party files an objection during the notice period, the case converts from an undisputed summary proceeding into a regular contested revenue lawsuit (विवादित वाद). Both parties are summoned with notices. As the buyer, you must present the certified copy of your registered sale deed, proof of physical possession (Chauhaddi), and modern computerized Thandaper Account & Patta extracts. Under Kerala Land Revenue & Tenancy Regulations (administered by Department of Survey and Land Records & Land Revenue Commissionerate, Kerala), summary revenue proceedings cannot determine complex civil title questions, which belong exclusively to the Civil Court.
If your registered property deed dates back several decades, the plot number recorded on the deed may refer to older Cadastral Survey (CS), Revisional Survey (RS), or pre-consolidation (Chakbandi) settlement registers. To find your modern Resurvey Number & Block Number:
1. Check the Chauhaddi (चारदीवारी / Four Boundaries) on your registered deed to identify fixed physical benchmarks (neighboring roads, canals, or ancestral plots).
2. Open the village cadastral map (FMB Sketch (Field Measurement Book) & Resurvey Map) on Ente Bhoomi, E-Rekha & Revenue E-Services and visually locate the plot shape using neighboring benchmark numbers.
3. If the survey numbers changed during re-settlement, request a Comparative Table (मिलान तालिका / Charkatta) from the District Collectorate Record Room (मुहाफ़िज़खाना) to bridge old survey numbers with current computerized records.
Troubleshooting search and portal errors in Kerala
If the government portal returns blank results or an error, check these database entry rules:
Record not found after recent registration
A recently registered transaction may not appear in the online Record of Rights until the mutation process has been completed and the record updated. Processing and update times vary by state, service category, and case circumstances. Use the official application-status facility or contact the competent revenue office for the status of your case.
Suffix Split Format
Southern state portals separate base survey numbers from sub-division codes. Enter base number 124 in the main field and sub-division 2A in the Hissa or sub-division box to avoid search timeouts.
Name search returns zero results
State revenue databases store owner names in the regional script. Searching in English letters returns blank results. Enter the name using the script tool below or search by plot number.
Map shows a blank white page
Cadastral map engines open plot reports in a separate window. Allow pop-ups in your browser settings for https://revenue.kerala.gov.in.
Document check: Remarks and encumbrance verification
Inspect the liabilities and remarks column of the Thandaper Account & Patta. Unresolved bank charges, ceiling reservations, or court disputes recorded here must be cleared before completing a purchase.

Land classifications and transfer rules in Kerala
Before paying an advance or registering a Sale Deed in Kerala (കേരളം), check the land classification code on the Thandaper Account & Patta against this legal verification table:
| Verification Check | Official Kerala Revenue Code & Legal Meaning | What a Buyer or Owner Must Do |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Safe Transferable Land Class | Purayidam (പുരയിടം: Dry/Garden Transferable Land with Active Thandaper & Clear Tax Receipt) | Confirm that the seller's name, parent/spouse name, and fractional share match both the Thandaper Account & Patta and the Sub-Registrar EC. |
| 2. Restricted / Prohibited Land Class (Red Flag) | Nilam (നിലം: Paddy/Wetland Protected under Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land & Wetland Act 2008), Puramboke | Do not pay an advance. Government, Vested, Forest, or Class-2/Assigned land cannot be sold without prior statutory Collector permission. |
| 3.
