Jamabandi.org is an independent guide website that explains, in plain English, how to check Jamabandi Nakal and other land records online in India. This page explains who we are, what we do, and — just as importantly — what we do not do.
An independent guide, not a government website
Jamabandi.org is an independent guide website. It is not affiliated with the Government of India, the National Informatics Centre (NIC), or any state government portal. It is not run by, endorsed by, or connected to any revenue department, tehsil, district office, or land records authority.
We do not issue official records. We cannot create, correct, or certify a Jamabandi, Fard, Khatauni, or Khasra record, and we cannot supply a certified copy of any land record. The only official record is the one issued through the state government portal or the concerned tehsil or revenue office.
What we do
We explain, step by step, how to check Jamabandi on the official portals, so that landowners, buyers, and families can find the right page on the right government website and read their own record with confidence. Our guides cover, among other things:
- What Jamabandi is, what Jamabandi Nakal means, and how Jamabandi differs from Fard, Khatauni, and Khasra;
- Which official portal to use for each state, and how to reach the Jamabandi search page on it;
- What details you need before you start — such as district, tehsil, village, Khasra number, or Khatauni number — and where to find them;
- How to read the record once it appears on screen, and what to do if a name, area, or owner detail looks wrong;
- Common mistakes that stop a search from working, and how to avoid them.
Official portals we link to
Our guides link directly to the official portals, so that you can check your record on the government website itself. These include:
- Haryana — jamabandi.nic.in
- Punjab — jamabandi.punjab.gov.in (PLRS portal)
- Rajasthan — apnakhata.rajasthan.gov.in (Apna Khata)
- Himachal Pradesh — the Himachal land records portal (Himbhoomi / himachal.nic.in)
- Bihar — biharbhumi.bihar.gov.in
- Jammu and Kashmir — the J&K land records portal
Portal addresses and page layouts change from time to time. If a link on this website no longer opens the page it describes, please let us know through our Contact page, and in the meantime search for the portal name on the state government’s own website.
How our guides are written
Our guides are written in plain language for readers who may be checking a land record for the first time. We describe the steps as they appear on the official portals, explain the Hindi and revenue terms used on those portals — such as Khewat, Khatoni, Khasra, and Girdawari — and we avoid asking readers for personal or financial details. We never ask you to enter a Jamabandi number, Aadhaar number, bank detail, or payment on this website.
We aim to keep every guide accurate and up to date, and we review guides when a portal changes. Even so, official portals can change without notice, and a step described here may look slightly different on the live portal. Where there is any difference, the official portal is always the authority.
What we cannot help with
Because we are not a government office, we cannot check your individual record for you, correct an entry, settle a dispute about ownership or boundaries, or advise you on a particular legal matter. For corrections, certified copies, and disputes, please contact the patwari, the tehsil office, or the revenue department of the state concerned, or take advice from a qualified lawyer.
