Bhulekh Uttarakhand is the state’s free online land record portal at bhulekh.uk.gov.in. Through its Public ROR option you can view the khatauni (record of rights) for any village and search by khasra (gata) number, khata number, owner name or registry details. Where a village is digitised, the portal also shows the sajra (village map). This guide explains how to check each record, how to get a certified copy, what the 2025 land law changed for buyers, and what to check before you buy land in Uttarakhand.

Key land record terms in Uttarakhand

Term	Meaning
Khatauni	The record of rights for a khata: owners, their shares, khasra numbers, area and land class
Khata number	The holding (account) number that groups an owner’s plots in a village
Khasra or gata number	The plot or field number on the village map; the two words are used for the same number
Sajra	The village map showing each khasra and its boundary
Dakhil kharij	Mutation: entering the new owner’s name after a sale, gift or inheritance
Patwari	The village revenue official who keeps the records and the map
Public ROR	The portal option that shows the record of rights to the public

How to check the khatauni on Bhulekh Uttarakhand

Open bhulekh.uk.gov.in and click Public ROR in the top menu.
Select the district, then the tehsil, then the village from the list on the left.
Choose a search: khasra or gata number, khata number, account holder’s name, mutation date, or seller or buyer name for registry-based entries.
Enter the value and click Search, then pick the matching entry.
The khatauni opens on screen. Print it or save it for your records.

Names are stored in Hindi. When searching by name, type it in Hindi exactly as it appears on the land papers. If nothing appears, search by khasra or khata number instead.

How to view the sajra (village map)

On bhulekh.uk.gov.in, open the sajra map or naksha option.
Select the district, tehsil and village.
Click your khasra on the map to see the plot and its linked details.
Use the report option to save the map as a PDF where it is offered.

Not every village map is online yet, especially in older hill records. If your village is missing, ask the tehsil for a certified copy of the sajra.

How to get a certified khatauni

The online khatauni is for information. For a sale, bank loan or court case, get a certified copy at the tehsil land record computer centre. Take the khasra or khata number and an ID. The fee has been reported as ₹15 for the first page and ₹5 for each extra page; check the current fee at the counter.

Mutation (dakhil kharij) after you buy

After the sale deed is registered, the tehsil processes the mutation and the khatauni is updated with the buyer’s name.
Check the khatauni on the portal a few weeks after registration. Search by your name or the mutation date.
If the name has not changed, contact the tehsil and file a dakhil kharij application with a copy of the registered deed.
Objections from co-owners or heirs can delay the mutation, so settle family claims before you buy.

Uttarakhand land law 2025: what buyers must know

The Uttarakhand (Uttar Pradesh Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act, 1950) (Amendment) Act, 2025 was passed in February 2025 and came into force on 1 May 2025 after the Governor’s approval. Key points as reported:

People from outside the state cannot buy agricultural or horticultural land in 11 districts: Dehradun, Pauri Garhwal, Tehri Garhwal, Uttarkashi, Rudraprayag, Chamoli, Nainital, Pithoragarh, Champawat, Almora and Bageshwar.
Haridwar and Udham Singh Nagar are outside this ban, but purchases there need government permission.
Outside municipal areas, residential land bought by outsiders is limited to 250 sq m per family and needs an affidavit; if the affidavit proves false, the state can take the land.
District magistrates no longer grant land purchase permission; the state government decides.
Land used for a purpose other than the one permitted can be vested in the government.

Rules for non-residents are detailed and can change. Check the land class in the khatauni and take legal advice before you pay any advance.

Before you buy land in Uttarakhand

Check the khatauni and match the owner, share, khasra number and area with the sale deed.
Check the land class. Farm land in hill districts is closed to outside buyers under the 2025 law.
Look at the sajra and walk the plot to match its shape, road access and neighbours.
Ask for demarcation through the tehsil if the boundary is not clear.
Get an encumbrance certificate for past sales and loans.
For colonies and buildings in Dehradun, check approval from the Mussoorie Dehradun Development Authority, and check eco-sensitive zone limits near forests and rivers.
Work out stamp duty on the circle rate; see our circle rate in Dehradun guide.

Common problems and fixes

Name search shows nothing: type the name in Hindi as written in the record, or search by khasra or khata number.
Old khatauni after a sale: the mutation may be pending. Contact the tehsil with the registered deed.
Wrong name or area: apply to the tehsildar for correction with supporting papers.
Village map missing: get a certified sajra from the tehsil.
Site slow or down: try again later; the portal can be busy during office hours.
