Banglarbhumi (banglarbhumi.gov.in) is the West Bengal Land and Land Reforms Department’s portal for land records outside Kolkata. You can search a khatian (record of rights) or a plot by district, block and mouza, view mouza maps, check whether land is recorded as agricultural or non-agricultural, and apply online for mutation and conversion. For anyone buying land in North and South 24 Parganas, Howrah, Hooghly or elsewhere in Bengal, checking the record here is the first step of due diligence.<\/strong> The portal shows information for reference; certified copies come from the Block Land and Land Reforms Office.<\/p>\n

RS and LR records<\/h2>\n

West Bengal has two main survey records. The RS (Revisional Settlement)<\/strong> record is older; the LR (Land Reforms)<\/strong> record is the later settlement and is the one used for current mutation. Sale deeds often mention both RS and LR plot and khatian numbers. Check that they match the records before you buy.<\/p>\n

Checking land before you buy<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Search the plot by district, block, mouza and LR plot number.<\/li>\n
  2. Confirm the owner’s name, share and land class (for example sali, bastu, danga).<\/li>\n
  3. Check that the seller’s name appears and that the share equals what is being sold.<\/li>\n
  4. For land recorded as agricultural, check whether conversion has been granted if you plan to build.<\/li>\n
  5. Get a certified copy from the BL&LRO office, and do a search at the registration office for encumbrances.<\/li>\n
  6. Check the stamp duty in West Bengal<\/a> and market value before registration.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Online mutation<\/h2>\n

    After a sale deed is registered, apply for mutation so the buyer’s name is recorded. Upload the deed, the seller’s record, ID proof and pay the fee through GRIPS. The BL&LRO may hold a hearing. Inheritance mutations need the death certificate and legal heir documents. Mutation is essential before you can sell again, take a loan, or get conversion.<\/p>\n
