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 Dag Number से खोज का उपयोग करें।
Online Mutation & Conversion / 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।

जमीन का रिकॉर्ड खोजने से पहले आवश्यक जानकारी (Details Required Before Searching Land Records)
Keep these details ready before searching on Banglarbhumi:
- Location path: Select your District → Block → Mouza (with J.L. Number) from the dropdown menus.
- Dag Number (LR / RS Plot): Locates your parcel on the village map and shows boundary dimensions.
- Khatian 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 West Bengal land record is not found online
While the majority of revenue villages in West Bengal 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 copy of the Khatian / Plot Map from the Block Land and Land Reforms Office (BL&LRO). Fees are payable through GRIPS as per the state schedule with an official challan 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 West Bengal mapping portal (Banglarbhumi Citizen Services).
- Select your District → Block → Mouza (with J.L. Number) in the location menu to load the village map sheet.
- Enter your Dag Number (LR / RS Plot) 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.
banglarbhumi.gov.in. भू-नक्शे पर खेत की सीमाएं, रास्ता और सरकारी संकेत कैसे समझें? (Understanding Plot Boundaries & Map Symbols)
Official village cadastral sheets (Digitized Mouza Map) use standardized cartographic symbols. Use this decoder to identify access roads, canals, and plot boundaries:
When reviewing plot numbers on the Digitized Mouza 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 West Bengal Land Reforms Act, 1955 (W.B. Act X of 1956) & West Bengal Land Reforms Rules, 1965) 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 Khatian (Porcha / ROR) confirms ownership, share extent, and bank mortgage remarks. Follow these steps:
- Open Banglarbhumi Official Portal (banglarbhumi.gov.in) in your web browser.
- Select the option to view Khatian (Porcha / ROR) on the home screen.
- Choose your District → Block → Mouza (with J.L. Number) and the current revenue year.
- Select your search method (Dag Number (LR / RS Plot), Khatian 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 Dag Number (LR / RS Plot) or Khatian Number, follow these simple steps:
1. Select your District → Block → Mouza (with J.L. 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 Dag Number (LR / RS Plot) 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 Banglarbhumi use five standard columns. Use this table to verify each section before buying land or applying for a loan:
| Document Column | Meaning in West Bengal | Buyer Verification Action |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Khatian 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. Dag Number (LR / RS Plot) | Unique parcel number on the village cadastral map (Digitized Mouza Map). | Confirm that the plot number on the Khatian (Porcha / ROR) matches the parcel on the Digitized Mouza 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: Bastoo (Homestead), Shali/Aman (Agricultural), Danga (High Land), Pukur (Pond/Waterbody), and Khas (Vested Government Land).. | Confirm that the parcel belongs to a private transferable land category. |
| 5. Remarks and Mutation | Lists Online Mutation & Conversion 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 West Bengal, 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 Khatian (ROR) and Plot Information serve as official fiscal records maintained by the Block Land and Land Reforms Office (BL&LRO), revenue entries do not confer or extinguish legal title (Suraj Bhan v. Financial Commissioner (2007) 6 SCC 186). Physical possession and land classification are verified through local Revenue Inspector (RI) field enquiries. Complete due diligence requires examining registered deed chains, Non-Encumbrance Certificates from the Directorate of Registration, and ground demarcation.
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 West Bengal (পশ্চিমবঙ্গ) 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 (19) | Specifies the state jurisdiction (West Bengal prefix: 19). |
| 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 Dag 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 Khatian 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 West Bengal (পশ্চিমবঙ্গ) follow the West Bengal Land Reforms Act, 1955 (W.B. Act X of 1956) & West Bengal Land Reforms Rules, 1965. Before buying land or settling a boundary dispute, complete these seven due diligence checks:
Seven property checks before buying land in West Bengal
| Due Diligence Step | What to Verify on Banglarbhumi | Critical Legal Risk / Red Flag |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Title & Fractional Share Match | Cross-verify the seller's name, parent/spouse name, and exact fraction in the Khatian register against the Sub-Registrar registered deed. | Red Flag: Discrepancy between the registered Sale Deed and the live computerized Khatian. 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 Banglarbhumi 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 Khatian 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 Dag Number (LR / RS Plot) has pending succession (Varasat) disputes, partition suits, or revenue court injunction orders. | Red Flag: Buying land subject to pending litigation under West Bengal Land Reforms Act, 1955 (W.B. Act X of 1956) & West Bengal Land Reforms Rules, 1965. 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. |

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 West Bengal (পশ্চিমবঙ্গ), completing Online Mutation & Conversion is mandatory to substitute the seller or deceased owner's name with your name in the official Khatian. Follow this tracking guide on Bangla Sahayata Kendra (BSK):
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 Dag Number / Mauza: Select your District → Block → Mouza (with J.L. Number) and enter your plot number to see all pending or disposed mutation cases.
Statutory e-Mutation approval stages in West Bengal
| Mutation Stage | Statutory Procedure & Officer Action | What Citizen Must Verify |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Online e-Mutation Filing | Application submitted on Banglarbhumi portal (banglarbhumi.gov.in) with registered deed number, volume, and boundary details, generating an Application Number. | Note the Application Number and scheduled date for physical document verification. |
| 2. Statutory Notice & Hearing Schedule | Under West Bengal Land Reforms Act, 1955, the Block Land & Land Reforms Officer (BL&LRO) issues notice to interested parties and schedules a formal hearing. | Follow the hearing notice issued by the BL&LRO. Undisputed cases proceed under WBRTPS guidelines. |
| 3. Revenue Inspector (RI) Field Inquiry | The Revenue Inspector conducts ground inspection to verify agricultural/non-agricultural classification, actual possession, and absence of ceiling surplus status. | Ensure that plot classification on ground matches recorded Mouza Khatian land character (Bastu, Sali, Danga). |
| 4. BL&LRO Hearing & Disposal Order | The BL&LRO conducts the hearing, examines deed chain and mutation fees, and passes the statutory disposal order. | Download the signed hearing order from the Banglarbhumi mutation tracking module. |
| 5. Live Khatian (RoR) Ledger Update | The computerized database creates a new Khatian Number in the purchaser's name with proportional plot shares. | Generate a fresh Khatian extract on Banglarbhumi to verify your newly assigned Khatian number. |
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 Khatian extracts. Under West Bengal Land Reforms Act, 1955 (W.B. Act X of 1956) & West Bengal Land Reforms Rules, 1965, 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 Dag 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 (Digitized Mouza Map) on Banglarbhumi 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 West Bengal
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.
Standard Database Format
Enter the complete Dag Number and select your District and Block before searching.
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://banglarbhumi.gov.in/BanglarBhumi/Home.action.
Document check: Remarks and encumbrance verification
Inspect the liabilities and remarks column of the Khatian. Unresolved bank charges, ceiling reservations, or court disputes recorded here must be cleared before completing a purchase.

Land classifications and transfer rules in West Bengal
Before paying an advance or registering a Sale Deed in West Bengal (পশ্চিমবঙ্গ), check the land classification code on the Khatian against this legal verification table:
| Verification Check | Official West Bengal Revenue Code & Legal Meaning | What a Buyer or Owner Must Do |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Safe Transferable Land Class | Rayati Bastu / Viti / Sali (রায়তি বাস্তু/শালি: Private Transferable Holding with Zero Bargadar) | Confirm that the seller's name, parent/spouse name, and fractional share match both the Khatian and the Sub-Registrar EC. |
| 2. Restricted / Prohibited Land Class (Red Flag) | Khatian No. 1 (খাস জমি / Collector Vested Land), Recorded Bargadar (বর্গাদার), Doba/Pukur (Waterbody Conversion Barred) | Do not pay an advance. Government, Vested, Forest, or Class-2/Assigned land cannot be sold without prior statutory Collector permission. |

District coverage for West Bengal land records
Official Banglarbhumi land records, Khatian registers, and cadastral village maps cover all revenue districts and local revenue offices across West Bengal:
Local revenue terms in West Bengal
Use these regional definitions to read West Bengal revenue documents accurately (see also the All-India Land Terminology Glossary):
Khatian (খতিয়ান / Porcha)
Record of Rights register assigned to a Raiyat listing their 4-decimal fractional shares and plots in a Mouza.
Dag Number (দাগ নম্বর LR/RS)

স্থানীয় প্রশাসনিক ও রাজস্ব বিবরণী (Local Administrative & District Nuances - Verified October 2026)
পশ্চিমবঙ্গে জমি ক্রয়-বিক্রয়, মিউটেশন ও পর্চা যাচাইয়ের ক্ষেত্রে নিম্নলিখিত সংবিধিবদ্ধ আইন ও প্রশাসনিক নিয়মাবলী অত্যন্ত গুরুত্বপূর্ণ:
১. আরএস দাগ বনাম এলআর দাগ সমন্বয় (RS Dag vs LR Dag Concordance)
পশ্চিমবঙ্গে ভূমি রেকর্ডের ক্ষেত্রে দুটি প্রধান জরিপ পর্যায় বিদ্যমান: (১) রিভিশনাল সেটেলমেন্ট (RS - Revisional Settlement) এবং (২) ল্যান্ড রিফর্মস (LR - Land Reforms)। পুরনো দলিলের দাগ নম্বর সাধারণত আরএস রেকর্ডের অন্তর্ভুক্ত থাকে। বাংলারভূমি (Banglarbhumi) পোর্টাল সম্পূর্ণভাবে এলআর খতিয়ান ও এলআর দাগের ভিত্তিতে পরিচালিত হয়। সম্পত্তি ক্রয়ের পূর্বে বিএলএলআরও (BL&LRO) অফিসের তুলনা পঞ্জি (Comparative RS-LR Register) দ্বারা দাগের সঠিক রূপান্তর যাচাই করা আবশ্যক।
২. ধারা ৪সি জমি রূপান্তর অনুমতি (Section 4C Non-Agricultural Conversion)
পশ্চিমবঙ্গ ভূমি সংস্কার আইন, ১৯৫৫ (West Bengal Land Reforms Act, 1955)-এর ধারা ৪সি অনুযায়ী যে কোনো কৃষিজমি (শালি বা ডাঙা) বাস্তু (আবাসিক) অথবা বাণিজ্যিক জমিতে রূপান্তর করার জন্য সংশ্লিষ্ট ডিএলএলআরও (DL&LRO / BL&LRO)-এর নিকট থেকে আনুষ্ঠানিক রূপান্তর সনদ (Conversion Certificate) গ্রহণ বাধ্যতামূলক। রূপান্তর ব্যতীত কৃষিজমিতে নির্মাণ কার্য সম্পূর্ণ বেআইনি এবং ধারা ৪ডি অনুসারে তা দণ্ডনীয় অপরাধ।
৩. বেঙ্গল বিঘা ও শতক পরিমাপ মানদণ্ড (Standard Bengal Bigha & Satak)
পশ্চিমবঙ্গ রাজস্ব মানদণ্ড অনুসারে ১ বিঘা = ১৪,৪০০ বর্গ ফুট (২০ কাঠা = ০.৩৩০৬ একর)। ১ কাঠা = ৭২০ বর্গ ফুট (১৬ ছটাক)। এছাড়া ১ একর = ১০০ শতক (বা ডেসিমল = ৪৩,৫৬০ বর্গ ফুট)। বাংলারভূমি পোর্টালে জমির মোট পরিমাণ একর ও শতকে প্রদর্শিত হয়। কোনো দলিলে পুরনো কাঠা-ছটাক থাকলে তা বর্গ ফুটে রূপান্তর করে পোর্টালের শতক রেকর্ডের সঙ্গে নির্ভুলভাবে মিলিয়ে নেওয়া জরুরি।
जमीन खरीदने से पहले जांच के 3 आसान चरण (3-Step Land Verification Guide)
Complete these three checks before paying an advance or signing an agreement in West Bengal:
Seller identity and title match
Compare the seller name and parentage in the digital Khatian directly against their government photo identity (Aadhaar, PAN) and registered deed.
Ground boundary and map match
Inspect the plot on site with the official Digitized Mouza Map. Confirm that road access, boundary dimensions, and neighboring plot numbers match the surveyed sheet.
Mutation status tracking
Deed registration at the Sub-Registrar office records the transfer, but revenue ownership updates only after mutation. Track the Online Mutation & Conversion until the new name is recorded on the ledger.
West Bengal Land Administration: Essential Procedural Modules
Official Banglarbhumi land administration involves four high-friction administrative procedures under the West Bengal Land Reforms Act 1955. Review these statutory pathways before executing transactions, applying for certified copies, or converting agricultural land.
1. RS to LR Dag Number Mapping (Hal Dag vs Sabek Dag)
West Bengal land parcels carry two distinct historical survey references: the Revisional Settlement (RS) Dag from the 1954 to 1962 surveys, and the Land Reforms (LR) Dag from the modern computerized settlement under Section 51A of the WBLR Act 1955.
- Sabek Dag (সাবেক দাগ): Former RS plot number recorded in older pre-computerized registered deeds.
- Hal Dag (হাল দাগ): Present LR plot number required for all computerized Banglarbhumi searches and Mouza maps.
- Bata Dag (বাটা দাগ): Subdivided fractional plot (e.g. 104/1, 104/2) created when a single parcel is split.
Conversion Protocol: Log in to Banglarbhumi > Citizen Services > Special Services > RS-LR Plot Info. Select District, Block, and Mouza, then toggle between Sabek to Hal or Hal to Sabek to generate the statutory conversion table.
2. Banglarbhumi GRN Search & IFMS Payment Recovery
When citizens pay fees for e-Porcha certified copies or mutation petitions, banking gateway timeouts often debit the user's account without generating the application receipt. Never initiate a duplicate payment before running a GRN status reconciliation.
- GRN Definition: An 18-digit Government Reference Number issued by the West Bengal IFMS (Integrated Financial Management System) portal.
- Status Verification: Go to Banglarbhumi > Citizen Services > Online Application > Fee Payment > Reprint Application / Receipt.
- Resolution Window: If banking status shows "Pending", the IFMS automated clearing system updates within 24 to 48 hours to regenerate the valid receipt.
3. Certified e-Porcha Application & Statutory Fee Schedule
Standard website Informational portal displays of Khatian and Plot Information (Jomir Tothya) are provided for preliminary citizen reference. An informational screen display should not automatically be treated as equivalent to an officially issued certified Record of Rights or certified public document. When a document is required for formal judicial, banking, or administrative proceedings, obtain an officially certified copy issued under Section 75 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (BSA 2023). Under Section 76 of BSA 2023, such certified copies may be produced in proof of the contents of the public record.
- Official Fee Structure: Flat application fee of INR 20 plus INR 2 per copy page via GRIPS e-payment.
- Digital Authentication: Issued with a secure cryptographic QR code and digital signature of the Block Land & Land Reforms Officer (BL&LRO).
- Delivery Timeline: Available for PDF download under Citizen Services > Service Delivery within 7 to 15 working days.
4. Section 4C Land Conversion Protocol (Shali to Bastu)
Altering the recorded classification of land (such as converting agricultural Shali land to homestead Bastu or commercial use) without prior statutory sanction is a cognizable offense under Section 4D of the West Bengal Land Reforms Act 1955.
- Statutory Prerequisite: Submit Form 1B online on Banglarbhumi with registered deed copy, current ROR, and site sketch map.
- Compounding Fees: Calculated based on the market valuation of the parcel as determined by the Directorate of Registration.
- Conversion Restrictions for Ponds and Waterbodies: Changes to the classification or use of land in West Bengal are governed by the applicable provisions of the West Bengal Land Reforms Act, 1955 and other relevant legislation. Conversion involving ponds, wetlands, or other waterbodies is subject to stringent statutory restrictions and approval requirements under Section 4C. The applicable procedure depends on the land's classification, location, and governing legislation (such as the East Kolkata Wetlands (Conservation and Management) Act, 2006 where applicable). Do not assume that an ordinary land-conversion application automatically permits alteration of a waterbody.

Active bank mortgages and encumbrance liens are recorded in your computerized Khatian.
