Land Record Check Online India 🗺️ Complete Step-by-Step Guide (2026)

In India, land records (such as Jamabandi, Fard, Khasra/Khatauni, Mutation/Intkaal, and cadastral maps) are digitized and available online through state-specific portals under the Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP). For residents in Ludhiana, Punjab, the official authority is the Punjab Land Records Society (PLRS) and Punjab Land Records Authority (PLRA). Punjab has fully computerized records since 2002, with real-time updates for most services.

Official Portal: https://jamabandi.punjab.gov.in/ (primary for Jamabandi/Fard view; also accessible via https://www.plrs.org.in/ → FARD/Jamabandi section).

• Jamabandi — Record of Rights (shows ownership, cultivation, shares, mutations).
• Fard — Extract/certified copy of Jamabandi (used for sale, loans, verification).
• Mutation (Intkaal) — Updates after sale/inheritance (view status online).
• Cadastral Map (Bhu Naksha) — Plot-wise map view.

No registration/login is required for basic viewing (public access). Certified copies (digitally signed Fard/Jamabandi) may require fee/payment at ARCs (Arazi Record Centers) or online.
