Jamabandi Rajasthan is the land record of Rajasthan that shows the owner of a field, the area held, and the cultivation details recorded by the revenue department. In Rajasthan, the Jamabandi is checked online through Apna Khata, the state’s official land records portal, at apnakhata.rajasthan.gov.in. This guide explains what the Rajasthan Jamabandi contains, how to check your Apna Khata Nakal, and what to do when a detail is wrong.
For the meaning of Jamabandi and how it differs from Fard, Khatauni, and Khasra, see our main guide, Jamabandi: Check Jamabandi Nakal Online, Meaning, Fard, Khatauni & State-Wise Land Records Guide 2026. For more Rajasthan guides, see the Rajasthan Jamabandi category.
What is Jamabandi in Rajasthan?
Rajasthan’s Jamabandi is the record of rights prepared for every village in the state. It is the main document that proves who owns agricultural land, how much land they own, and in whose name the land is recorded. The record is maintained by the Board of Revenue, Rajasthan, and the village patwari. The copy of the Jamabandi that a landowner obtains is called the Jamabandi Nakal, and in the Apna Khata portal it is shown as the Khatauni — the account of a cultivator — within a Khewat.
The Rajasthan Jamabandi records the Khata number, the names of the landholders and their shares, the Khasra numbers of the fields, the area in hectares or bighas, the type of land, and the name of the person cultivating it. Because land in Rajasthan has been held for generations, a single Khata often shows several people holding shares in the same land, and the share of each person is written clearly against their name.
Official portal: Apna Khata Rajasthan
The official portal for Rajasthan is apnakhata.rajasthan.gov.in, known as Apna Khata. It covers all districts of Rajasthan, including Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Kota, Bikaner, Ajmer, Alwar, Bharatpur, and Sikar. Use only this address, or a link from the Rajasthan government website. No private website can issue an official Rajasthan Jamabandi, so do not pay a third-party site for a record that Apna Khata shows for free.
How to check Jamabandi Rajasthan online
Follow these steps on Apna Khata to view your Jamabandi Nakal:
- Open apnakhata.rajasthan.gov.in and choose the option to see the Jamabandi or the Khatauni Nakal for your district.
- Select your district, then the tehsil, and then your village from the lists or the map shown.
- Choose how to search: by Khata number, by the name of the landholder, by Khasra number, or by the name of the person cultivating the land.
- Enter the detail you know, and open the correct Khata from the results.
- Check the names, shares, Khasra numbers, area, and land type on the screen, and use the print or download option to save the Nakal for your own reference.
Details you need before you start
Keep ready the district, tehsil, and village of the land, and at least one of these: the Khata number, the name of the landholder, or the Khasra number of the field. These details are on an old Jamabandi Nakal, a sale deed, a mutation document, or a previous Apna Khata printout. A Khata number is the quickest way to open the record. If you do not know it, the patwari of the village can tell you from the Khasra number or the owner’s name.
What the Rajasthan Jamabandi shows
A Rajasthan Jamabandi Nakal shows the village name, the Khata number, the names and shares of the landholders, the Khasra numbers of the fields in that Khata, the area of each field, the type of land (for example, irrigated or unirrigated), and the name of the cultivator. Land area is given in hectares and bighas, and the local measure — a bigha in Rajasthan — can differ from place to place, so read the units shown on the record rather than converting from memory.
Common problems when checking Jamabandi Rajasthan
- Record not found by name: Landholder names are written in the record as they were recorded years ago, often with a different spelling. Search by Khata or Khasra number if the name search fails.
- Old Jamabandi shown: Apna Khata may show the most recent Jamabandi, which can be a few years old. A recent sale or family division appears in the record only after the mutation has been entered and a new Jamabandi has been prepared.
- Portal not loading: Apna Khata is used across a large state and can be slow at times. Try again later, or use a different browser.
- Area shown is different from the sale deed: A difference may be caused by a survey error, a change in measurement units, or a land division that was not recorded. Ask the patwari to compare the record with the field map before taking any further step.
Is Apna Khata free?
Viewing the Jamabandi Nakal on apnakhata.rajasthan.gov.in is free. A certified copy from the tehsil office may carry a small government fee. Do not pay an agent a large amount for a record you can view free on Apna Khata, and never pay anyone who promises to change a Jamabandi entry for you.
What to do if a detail is wrong
Corrections to a Rajasthan Jamabandi are made through the revenue department. Apply to the patwari or the tehsil office with the documents that prove the correct entry, such as a sale deed, a mutation order, or a court order. Jamabandi.org is an independent guide website and cannot correct a record, but our main Jamabandi guide explains the correction process in general terms.
