Bhumi Bihar — Bihar Land Records Complete Guide

1. What is Bhumi Bihar and who operates it?

Bhumi Bihar refers to Bihar Bhumi and the Bihar land-record service ecosystem operated by the Department of Revenue and Land Reforms, Government of Bihar. The official hub at land.bihar.gov.in lists Online Mutation, Online Bhu-Lagan, Online Jamabandi, Parimarjan Plus, Bhu-Manchitra, Register of Land Encumbrances, Online LPC, Bhu-Naksha, E-Mapi and Bhu-Abhilekh.

2. Step-by-step: how to search land records

1. Open the official Bihar land-record hub: https://land.bihar.gov.in/.
2. Choose Online Jamabandi.
3. On the Panji-II / Jamabandi report screen, select District.
4. Select Anchal.
5. Select Halka.
6. Select Mauja.
7. Choose one search method shown by the official page:
   • current part/current page
   • raiyat name
   • plot number
   • khata number
   • Jamabandi number
   • all Panji-II by name
   • computerized Jamabandi number
8. Enter the security code.
9. Open the report and verify raiyat name, khata, plot, Jamabandi and computerized Jamabandi number.

Hindi labels to watch: जिला, अंचल, हल्का, मौजा, रैयत का नाम, प्लाट नंबर, खाता नंबर, जमाबन्दी संख्या, कंप्यूटरीकृत जमाबन्दी संख्या।

3. How to download records/documents

The live Jamabandi screen is a report-search interface. Open the report first and then use the portal’s displayed print/download control, if one appears. If no official download button appears, use the browser print function for an informational copy and use the correct government e-service, office or certificate workflow for certified copies.

For mutation, LPC, Bhu-Abhilekh or other applications, follow the relevant login/OTP/document-upload workflow. This guide does not claim that any Bihar record or certificate is free unless the official service screen says so.

4. How to check ownership/encumbrance

For ownership, start with Online Jamabandi / Register-II / Panji-II. The Bihar Bhumi login notice advises checking the seller/previous Jamabandi raiyat record online before mutation. Cross-check mutation status and registered documents where needed.

For encumbrance, use Register of Land Encumbrances. The official encumbrance page asks for the Computerized Jamabandi No. For a formal Loan Encumbrance Certificate, use the Bihar Loan EC service/Sub-Registrar route; the National Government Services Portal describes it as a formal request requiring property address, survey number and the period for which the EC is required.

5. Common errors and solutions

• Anchal/Halka/Mauja not loading: select District first and wait for dependent fields.
• Record not found by name: search by plot, khata, Jamabandi number or computerized Jamabandi number.
• Security code rejected: refresh and re-enter the captcha/security code.
• Mutation cannot proceed: verify that the seller/previous Jamabandi record exists online and has complete land details; use Parimarjan where corrections are needed.
• Encumbrance search fails: confirm the computerized Jamabandi number, not just a khata or plot number.
• Certificate needed: use the specific application service, not only the informational report.
