Khasra Number Explained – Meaning, How to Check, and State-Wise Portal Guide

Last updated: October 2026

The Khasra number identifies one parcel of land on the village revenue map. Ownership sits in a different record, so a lender reads the Khasra number together with the Khata and the Jamabandi.

• Meaning: the parcel number from the village survey, used in 6 northern regions: UP, MP, Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab and Delhi
• Assigned by: revenue officials, such as the Patwari, during the survey
• Not the same as: the Khata (owner's account), the Khatauni (register of accounts) or a southern survey number
• Find it: on the state land records portal, by district, tehsil, village and owner name
• Check: the number must match in all 3 records: the deed, the land record and the map

Copy the Khasra number from the sale deed, then confirm it on the state portal before you pay. A wrong digit opens a different plot and a different owner.

A Khasra number is a unique identifier assigned to a specific parcel of land in rural areas, particularly in India. This number is part of the land revenue records maintained by the government and is used to track ownership, agricultural activities, and transactions related to the land. Each Khasra number is distinct and helps in demarcating land boundaries precisely.

The Khasra number system is integral to maintaining a detailed record of land usage and ownership, crucial for taxation, land reforms, and legal purposes. It's similar to a survey number used in urban areas but is more prevalent in rural settings.

The parcel number names the land, while the Khata and the Khatauni name the holder.

UP's portal writes the Khasra and the Gata number as one field.

They do the same job, but the word depends on the region. Northern states say Khasra, and southern and western states say survey number.

Maharashtra also uses the Gat number, and parts of the east use the Dag number. In cities, a plot number, a municipal property number or a City Survey number takes the same role. Read the guide to how to get a survey number for the southern and western records.

Five steps find it on most state portals.

1. Check the sale deed first. The schedule of property lists the parcel number and the area.
2. Open your state's land records portal, such as UP Bhulekh, MP Bhulekh or the Apna Khata portal in Rajasthan.
3. Select the district, tehsil and village.
4. Search by owner name or Khata number. The number appears against each parcel that the owner holds.
5. Save a dated copy of the record.

The guides to MP Khasra records and Bhunaksha Rajasthan show the cross-checks for those states.

The lender ties the loan documents to one parcel of land. A legal check then compares the number in the sale deed with the number in the record, and with the map.

If the numbers differ, the lender cannot be sure that the seller owns the land you are paying for. Read how these checks work in the guide to legal and technical verification. A match across the 3 records speeds the sanction.

Consider Ramesh, a 45-year-old trader in Bhopal with a household income of Rs. 95,000 a month and a CIBIL score of 746, buying a plot whose sale deed quotes Khasra 412/1.

Ramesh asks the seller to correct the deed before he pays. He avoids buying a plot that belongs to someone else.

Bajaj Finance reads the land records for the parcel you offer, and a parcel number that matches across the deed, the record and the map speeds the sanction.
