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 R.S. Number से खोज का उपयोग करें।
4

Patta Transfer / 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।

जमीन का रिकॉर्ड खोजने से पहले आवश्यक जानकारी (Details Required Before Searching Land Records)

Keep these details ready before searching on Nilamagal (Puducherry Land Records):

  • Location path: Select your Region (Puducherry / Karaikal / Mahe / Yanam) → Taluk → Revenue Village from the dropdown menus.
  • R.S. Number (Re-Survey) / Cadastre Number (Old Survey): Locates your parcel on the village map and shows boundary dimensions.
  • Patta 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 Puducherry land record is not found online

While the majority of revenue villages in Puducherry 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.

1. Visit Local Tehsil / Anchal Office

Visit your jurisdictional Tehsil, Taluk, or Anchal revenue counter with your village name, Khasra or Khatauni reference, and owner name.

2. Request Certified Extract from Taluk Office

Submit an application for a certified copy of the settlement extract from the Taluk Office or Directorate of Survey. Fees are payable as per the Puducherry revenue fee schedule with an official receipt.

3. Boundary Survey & Demarcation

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*).

4. CSC / Jan Seva Kendra Assistance

Village-level Common Service Centers (CSC) can verify if your record was recently locked during annual Jamabandi revision or pending mutation entry.

भू-नक्शे पर खेत की सीमाएं, रास्ता और सरकारी संकेत कैसे समझें? (Understanding Plot Boundaries & Map Symbols)

Official village cadastral sheets (FMB (Field Measurement Book) Sketch) use standardized cartographic symbols. Use this decoder to identify access roads, canals, and plot boundaries:

Solid Black / Dark Boundary Defines the surveyed perimeter of an individual revenue plot (R.S. Number (Re-Survey) / Cadastre Number (Old Survey)).
Dotted / Parallel Dashed Lines Chak Marg or village cart track (Rasta). Statutory right-of-way that cannot be blocked or encroached.
Blue Double Line or Ribbon Nahar, canal, irrigation drain, or natural watercourse. Construction is restricted along buffer margins.
Green Shaded / Cross-Hatched Gram Sabha, Abadi (settlement), pasture (Charagah), or forest reserve. Non-transferable community land.
Sub-Division Suffix (/1, /2, Min) Bataank or partitioned sub-plot carved out of a larger joint ancestral survey number.
Tri-Junction / Seemana Stone Three-village boundary intersection (Sehada). Permanent benchmark used by surveyors for ground triangulation.
Buyer Advisory: Demarcated (Bata) Plots vs. Minjumla (Undivided) Khasra

When reviewing plot numbers on the FMB (Field Measurement Book) Sketch, 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 Puducherry Land Revenue & Tenancy Regulations (administered by Directorate of Survey and Land Records, Government of Puducherry)) before signing the final sale deed to ensure undisputed physical possession.

Critical Buyer Warning: Check Column Remarks for Bank Mortgages (Bandhak)

Before paying any advance for land in Puducherry, 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.

Revenue Record vs. Physical Possession: Settlement Register Extract

While the Patta Copy and Settlement Register Extract serve as official fiscal revenue records, revenue entries do not confer proprietary title. Verification requires reviewing registered sale deeds, obtaining an Encumbrance Certificate from the Registration Department, and inspecting 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 Puducherry (புதுச்சேரி) are linking agricultural and non-agricultural plots with Bhu-Aadhaar (also known as ULPIN: Unique Land Parcel Identification Number).

What is Bhu-Aadhaar and Why is it Called Aadhaar for Land?

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 (34) Specifies the state jurisdiction (Puducherry prefix: 34).
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 R.S. Number is situated.
Characters 11 to 14 GIS Centroid Coordinate Hash Unique spatial coordinates calculated from the parcel boundary polygon.
Interactive Bhu-Aadhaar (ULPIN) Format Verifier 100% Client-Side • No Data Saved

Type or paste your 14-character Bhu-Aadhaar code from your computer-generated Patta Copy & Settlement Register Extract to verify its structure:

1. Unique Geospatial Identifier

Provides a single 14-character alphanumeric reference standard based on parcel boundary vertices coordinates under the ISO 19152 Land Administration Domain Model.

2. Inter-Departmental Reference

Serves as a common identifier across revenue, survey, and registration departments to reduce cadastral ambiguity in participating states.

3. Spatial Cadastral Integration

Enables linking of textual Record of Rights (RoR) data directly with computerized GIS village maps (Bhu Naksha) where surveys are finalized.

4. Where to Find Bhu-Aadhaar

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 Puducherry (புதுச்சேரி) follow the Puducherry Land Revenue & Tenancy Regulations (administered by Directorate of Survey and Land Records, Government of Puducherry). Before buying land or settling a boundary dispute, complete these seven due diligence checks:

Seven property checks before buying land in Puducherry

Due Diligence Step What to Verify on Nilamagal (Puducherry Land Records) Critical Legal Risk / Red Flag
1. Title & Fractional Share Match Cross-verify the seller's name, parent/spouse name, and exact fraction in the Patta Copy & Settlement Register Extract register against the Sub-Registrar registered deed. Red Flag: Discrepancy between the registered Sale Deed and the live computerized Patta Copy & Settlement Register Extract. 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 Nilamagal (Puducherry Land Records) 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 Patta Copy & Settlement Register Extract 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 R.S. Number (Re-Survey) / Cadastre Number (Old Survey) has pending succession (Varasat) disputes, partition suits, or revenue court injunction orders. Red Flag: Buying land subject to pending litigation under Puducherry Land Revenue & Tenancy Regulations (administered by Directorate of Survey and Land Records, Government of Puducherry). Transfer during litigation is subject to Section 52 Transfer of Property Act (Lis Pendens).
5. Restricted & Non-Alienable Land Verify the land class code (e.g. Government Vested, Ceiling Surplus, Gram Sabha, Bhoodan, Waqf, or SC/ST Tribal Protective Tenancy). Red Flag: Sale of assigned, tribal, or ceiling surplus land without prior statutory permission from the District Collector is null and void ab initio.
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.

Official revenue appeal hierarchy in Puducherry

If you find a spelling error in your Patta Copy & Settlement Register Extract, face boundary encroachment, or experience delays in Patta Transfer, follow this administrative appeal hierarchy:

Administrative Tier Designated Revenue Authority Statutory Role & Citizen Recourse
Tier 1: Village Level Village Administrative Officer (VAO) Performs ground boundary verification, inspects physical possession, and verifies the R.S. Number (Re-Survey) / Cadastre Number (Old Survey).

Tier 3: Tehsil / Taluk Tehsildar / Circle Officer / Mamlatdar Passes formal Patta Transfer orders, adjudicates ownership disputes, and approves certified extracts.
Tier 4: Sub-Division Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO) / Sub-Collector First statutory appellate authority for mutation and record correction challenges.

Statutory Service Timeline: Notified under Puducherry Citizen Charter: 30 working days for Patta transfer without sub-division; certified extract within 7 days (Tahsildar / Taluk Office). • Bhu-Aadhaar Status: ULPIN is being implemented through the national land-records modernisation programme. Availability varies by state, district, village and parcel. Check the official DILRMP status information or the relevant state revenue portal before assuming that a parcel has an assigned ULPIN.

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 Puducherry (புதுச்சேரி), completing Patta Transfer is mandatory to substitute the seller or deceased owner's name with your name in the official Patta Copy & Settlement Register Extract. Follow this tracking guide on Nilamagal Portal:

Statutory Timeline and Service Delivery Standard: Mutation processing time depends on the applicable state service delivery notification, application category, and case circumstances. Where an official time limit is published, this guide identifies the relevant statutory notification and the event from which the service period is calculated (such as case registration in the revenue court). Contested cases, physical survey or subdivision, hearing notices, and missing title deeds follow separate procedural timelines under state revenue codes.
Four Official Ways to Search Mutation Status on Nilamagal Portal:

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 R.S. Number / Mauza: Select your Region (Puducherry / Karaikal / Mahe / Yanam) → Taluk → Revenue Village and enter your plot number to see all pending or disposed mutation cases.

Statutory mutation approval stages in Puducherry

Mutation Stage Statutory Procedure & Officer Action What Citizen Must Verify
1. Application Submission & Filing Acknowledgment Application submitted online on the official Puducherry revenue portal (Nilamagal (Puducherry Land Records)) 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 Patta Copy & Settlement Register Extract ledger and issuing the updated ownership extract. Download a fresh copy of your computerized Patta Copy & Settlement Register Extract from Nilamagal (Puducherry Land Records) to verify that your ownership title is officially recorded.
What to Do If an Objection (आपत्ति) Is Filed Against Your Mutation

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 Patta Copy & Settlement Register Extract extracts. Under Puducherry Land Revenue & Tenancy Regulations (administered by Directorate of Survey and Land Records, Government of Puducherry), summary revenue proceedings cannot determine complex civil title questions, which belong exclusively to the Civil Court.

How to Link Old Sale Deed Plot Numbers with Modern Computerized Patta Copy & Settlement Register Extract

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 R.S. 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 (Field Measurement Book) Sketch) on Nilamagal (Puducherry Land Records) 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 Puducherry

If the government portal returns blank results or an error, check these database entry rules:

Mutation Processing

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.

Entry Format

Standard Database Format

Enter the complete R.S. Number and select your Region (Puducherry / Karaikal / Mahe / Yanam) and Taluk before searching.

Script Mismatch

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.

Pop-up Block

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://edistrict.py.gov.in.

Document check: Remarks and encumbrance verification

Inspect the liabilities and remarks column of the Patta Copy & Settlement Register Extract. Unresolved bank charges, ceiling reservations, or court disputes recorded here must be cleared before completing a purchase.

  4. Step 4 (Online Payment): Pay the assessed tax securely via the State Cyber Treasury gateway using UPI, Net Banking, or Debit Card.
  5. Step 5 (Download QR e-Pauti): Instantly download and print the digitally signed tax clearance receipt (e-Pauti) containing the Government Reference Number (GRN) and payment verification barcode.
Buyer Notice: Always demand the seller's latest financial year land tax receipt before signing an agreement to sell. Unpaid tax arrears can result in revenue recovery warrants or immediate rejection of your mutation (Patta Transfer (Mutation)) petition.
