MP Bhulekh — How to Check Khasra, Khatauni & B1 Land Records in Madhya Pradesh (2026)

MP Bhulekh is Madhya Pradesh's official land records portal, run by the Commissioner Land Records. It's a single window for the state's core revenue documents — the khasra (plot record), the khatauni / B1 (the holder's account), and the cadastral map. If you own or are buying land anywhere in MP, from Indore to Rewa, this is where the official record lives. Here's how to use it well.

The MP vocabulary: khasra, khatauni, B1

Madhya Pradesh uses slightly different terms than the northern states, so let's pin them down:

• Khasra — the individual plot and its record: area, land type, and the current cultivator/owner entry.
• Khatauni — the account that groups all the khasras held by a bhumiswami (landholder) in a village.
• B1 — the khatauni extract in its standard printed form; when people say "download the B1", they mean the khatauni for a holding.
• Naksha — the cadastral map showing the plot boundaries.

One holder's khatauni (B1) can contain many khasras across a village. One khasra belongs to one khatauni account.

Step-by-step: check a record on MP Bhulekh

1. Open the official MP Bhulekh portal (mpbhulekh.gov.in).
2. Choose the free services path for viewing records (some certified outputs sit behind login/payment).
3. Select District, Tehsil, and Village (Halka/RI) from the dropdowns.
4. Search by khasra number, khatauni number, or holder name.
5. The record opens. Use the option to view/print the khasra or B1 khatauni as needed.

MP Bhulekh usually presents a captcha and, for certain documents, a distinction between a free informational copy and a paid certified copy. For any official use — loan, registry, court — you'll want the certified version.

Reading the MP khasra and khatauni

Once your record loads, focus on these fields:

Bhumiswami (holder) and share. Confirm the name matches, and note if there are multiple holders. Co-ownership means multiple consents for any sale.

Rakba (area). MP records area in hectares. Cross-check it against what you've been told; a mismatch between the B1 area and a seller's claim is a classic warning sign.

Land classification. Irrigated vs unirrigated, and the land-use type, affect both value and what you're allowed to do with the plot.

Kramank and continuity. The khasra continuity across years (girdawari entries) shows how the land has actually been used season to season — useful for spotting whether "agricultural" land has really been farmed.

The check that protects your money

The B1 and khasra confirm the paperwork. They don't confirm that the plot's recorded boundary matches the ground — and in fast-developing MP corridors, that gap is where buyers get hurt.

The Zona app was built for exactly this. Zona supports Madhya Pradesh cadastral data and overlays plot boundaries on real satellite imagery, so you can line up the khasra on paper with the actual fields, structures, and roads. You can pull owner and plot details and see the boundary in one place — and because it caches what you've viewed, it keeps working when MP Bhulekh is slow or you're standing in a field with no signal.

When MP Bhulekh won't load

The portal runs captchas and periodic maintenance, so slow or failed loads happen. If you're stuck:

• Check the live status first. Our MP Bhulekh status page tells you whether the portal is reachable right now.
• Refresh the captcha. A surprising number of "errors" are just an expired or misread captcha — reload it and try again.
• Retry off-peak. Early morning is generally the fastest window.
• Use a cached record. Plots opened previously in the Zona app are available offline.

Common questions

Is MP Bhulekh free?

Viewing khasra and khatauni information is free. Certified copies of documents like the B1 typically require login and a nominal fee.

What is the difference between khasra and B1 in MP?

The khasra is the individual plot's record; the B1 is the khatauni extract listing all plots held by a bhumiswami in that village. You often need both — the khasra for the specific plot, the B1 to see the holder's full account.

How do I download the B1 khatauni?

Search your record on MP Bhulekh by khatauni or holder name, open the B1 view, and use the print/download option. For an official certified B1, use the paid/certified services path after logging in.

The record shows the wrong owner — what now?

This usually means a namantaran (mutation) wasn't recorded, or there's a data entry error. Corrections are made at the Tehsil / revenue office with supporting documents; the online portal reflects whatever the office has entered.

Does MP Bhulekh show the map too?

Yes, MP Bhulekh includes the cadastral naksha for plots. To compare that boundary against real ground conditions, overlay it on satellite imagery in the Zona app.

The bottom line

MP Bhulekh is the authoritative, free source for Madhya Pradesh khasra and khatauni (B1) records. Read the holder, area, and classification carefully, and for any transaction, get the certified copy and verify the plot against the actual ground. The Zona app supports MP cadastral data and satellite overlay, and works offline — a practical companion to the official portal when you're doing real due diligence.
