The J&K government launched the Aapki Zameen Aapki Nigrani (Your Land, Your Watch) initiative to put all land records online. As of 2026, records for all districts of Jammu division — Jammu, Samba, Kathua, Udhampur, Reasi, Ramban, Doda, Kishtwar, Rajouri, and Poonch — are available on the Jamabandi portal at jamabandi.nic.in.
Step 1: Open jamabandi.nic.in in your browser. Step 2: Click on 'Jamabandi' in the top menu. Step 3: Select your District from the dropdown (e.g., Jammu). Step 4: Select your Tehsil (e.g., Jammu, Akhnoor, Bishnah, Marh, Nagrota, R.S. Pura, Suchetgarh). Step 5: Select your Halqa (village/revenue circle). Step 6: Select the year (Samvat year — 2082 corresponds to 2025-26). Step 7: Choose your search type — by Khasra number, by owner name (Malik), or by Khewat number.
What is a Khasra number? A Khasra number is a unique plot identification number assigned to every piece of agricultural or residential land in J&K. It is the primary identifier in all revenue records. If you are buying or selling land, always verify the Khasra number matches the documents.
What is a Khewat number? A Khewat number identifies the ownership group (all co-owners of a piece of land). One Khewat can contain multiple Khasra numbers. If a property has multiple owners (joint family land), all their names appear under the same Khewat.
What is a Khatoni number? A Khatoni number identifies the cultivation record — who is actually farming or using the land. In urban areas, Khatoni and Khewat are often the same. In agricultural areas, the Khatoni holder may be a tenant (Murabba) while the Khewat holder is the owner.
How to check mutation (Intkal) status online: Go to jamabandi.nic.in, click 'Mutation', select district and tehsil, then enter the mutation number or owner name. Pending mutations show as 'Under Process'. Approved mutations show the new owner's name and date of approval.
Common problems and solutions: If your record does not appear, check that you have selected the correct Samvat year — older records may be under a previous year. If the owner name is in Urdu and you are searching in English, try searching by Khasra number instead. If the record shows a different owner than expected, the mutation may not have been completed — contact your local Patwari or Tehsil office.
