When you need it

Inspect the underlying revenue records for agricultural/revenue land, not a seller's photocopy. States district, tehsil, village, khewat/khatauni/khasra, record classes (Jamabandi, girdawari, mutation, rapat) and years. Formal inspection or certified copies may still be needed for legal reliance.

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

REVENUE RECORD INSPECTION APPLICATION

Application date: 1 April 2026

Applicant: Aarav Sharma, Sector 21, Panchkula.

Location: District SAS Nagar, Tehsil Kharar, Village Kharar. Land identifiers: Khewat 114, Khatauni 226, Khasra 18//12..

Revenue records requested: Jamabandi/record of rights. Years/specific records: Jamabandi 2022-23 and khasra girdawari for last four crop seasons..

Purpose: Purchase/title due diligence. Issue to examine: Check whether any cultivator other than owner is recorded.

Please permit or provide the authorised inspection of the stated revenue records and identify certified-copy options for any material entry.

LEGAL BASIS

In Punjab the record of rights for a revenue estate is the jamabandi, and its certified copy is a fard, issued online on jamabandi.punjab.gov.in as a digitally signed copy with a QR code or at the Fard Kendra of the tehsil or sub-tehsil. An entry in it is presumed true only until the contrary is proved (section 44 of the Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1887). A fard shows the jamabandi as it stood when the copy was made, and a mutation sanctioned since the last 15 June may not be in it (paragraph 7.56 of the Punjab Land Records Manual). In Chandigarh only the Union Territory's revenue villages keep this record, through the Revenue Department of the Chandigarh Administration; a sector property held from the Estate Office has none.

PERSONAL DATA NOTICE

This notice is given under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

Personal data is collected only to inspect and retain notes/references from the stated revenue records for the identified landholding, communicate about that purpose, verify property or title information, and retain an evidentiary record.

If the request does not proceed, personal data will be retained for 90 days and then erased. If it proceeds, the record will be retained for the matter plus 12 months, except where a statutory record-retention rule requires a longer named period.

A person named here may withdraw consent for future consent-based processing, request correction or erasure when the purpose has ended, or raise a grievance by writing to privacy@example.com. The record-holder should acknowledge and respond within 30 days.

Data minimisation: this document does not collect a full Aadhaar number, an Aadhaar-card copy, a password or unrelated financial credentials, and none should be written into it.
