How to Check Jamabandi Number in Andaman and Nicobar Islands

• Official portal: dweepbhoomi.andaman.gov.in
• Local Jamabandi equivalent: RoR (Record of Rights)
• Search by: Owner / tenant name or Survey number
• Records accessible: RoR (Record of Rights), mutation history, revenue details
• Free access: Yes, no registration required
• Used for: Property verification, dispute resolution, home loan documentation

Jamabandi refers to the official Record of Rights — the document that establishes who legally owns a piece of land, what it is classified as, and what its area is. In Andaman & Nicobar Islands, this record is known as RoR (Record of Rights).

In Andaman & Nicobar Islands, the document equivalent to Jamabandi is the RoR (Record of Rights). The RoR records land ownership, classification, area, and rights for each registered plot across the three districts of the Union Territory.

Jamabandi records are essential at every stage of a property transaction. They confirm whether the seller is the legal owner, whether any disputes or encumbrances exist, and whether the land classification suits the buyer's intended use. For home loan applications, lenders use Jamabandi records to verify ownership and title clarity before sanctioning any amount.

Consider a buyer in Port Blair looking to purchase residential land in South Andaman. Before signing any agreement, they visit Dweepbhoomi, select South Andaman district, choose the tehsil and village, and search by owner name. The RoR confirms the seller's ownership, land area, and classification. The buyer also verifies that no restricted area permits or government acquisition orders are pending on the plot — a check that could prevent a costly legal complication.

Whether you are verifying inherited land, checking jointly owned family property, or confirming a seller's ownership before signing a sale agreement, the Dweepbhoomi portal gives you access to these records instantly.

Dweepbhoomi is the official online land records portal of Andaman & Nicobar Islands, managed by the Department of Revenue, Andaman and Nicobar Administration. It was developed to digitise land records and provide citizens with transparent, free access to property information — eliminating the need to visit revenue offices for routine verifications.

Departments managing land records in Andaman & Nicobar Islands:

• Department of Revenue, Andaman and Nicobar Administration
• District Collector offices across Andaman & Nicobar Islands
• Circle / Tehsil / Mandal revenue offices

Types of land records available on Dweepbhoomi:

How Dweepbhoomi helps different users:

• Property buyers: Verify ownership and encumbrance status before paying advance money
• Farmers: Check land classification, area, and revenue details for their holdings
• NRIs owning land in Andaman & Nicobar Islands: Access records remotely without visiting India
• Real estate investors: Conduct due diligence across multiple plots quickly
• Home loan applicants: Compile verified ownership documents for lender submission

Checking Jamabandi online in Andaman & Nicobar Islands provides immediate access to ownership and land details that protect buyers, sellers, and financial institutions from fraud, disputes, and legal complications.

Ownership verification is the most critical use. Before any money changes hands, a buyer must confirm that the seller is the actual registered owner in the Dweepbhoomi records — not just someone claiming ownership.

Preventing land fraud is equally important. Andaman & Nicobar Islands has seen cases of sellers presenting forged documents or selling land that is under dispute, encumbrance, or government acquisition. A Jamabandi check on Dweepbhoomi takes minutes and can prevent years of legal trouble.

Before property purchase:

• Verify inherited land: Confirm that mutation has been completed after the previous owner's death, so the current seller holds clear title
• Confirm seller ownership: Cross-check seller's name against the Owner / tenant listed in RoR (Record of Rights) records
• Check jointly owned family property: Identify all co-owners, as all parties must consent to a valid sale

During home loan processing: Lenders verify Jamabandi records before sanctioning any home loan. A clear record — with no pending mutations, encumbrances, or disputes — speeds up the loan approval process significantly.

Andaman & Nicobar Islands has strict land purchase restrictions under the Foreigners (Restricted Areas) Order and tribal protection laws in Nicobar district. Buyers must verify applicable permissions before initiating any transaction.

Before accessing the Dweepbhoomi portal, confirm which district your property falls under — South Andaman, North and Middle Andaman, or Nicobar. Records are organised by island district and tehsil, so having these details ready avoids search errors.

Details required for search:

• Owner's full name: As it appears on the title deed or previous RoR document
• Island / district name: South Andaman, North and Middle Andaman, or Nicobar — confirm before searching
• Tehsil name: The revenue sub-division within the island district
• Village name: Select from the portal list — smaller island villages may not yet be digitised
• Survey number: The primary plot identifier in Andaman land records — found on the title deed
• Khata number (if available): Groups all plots under one owner — useful for multiple-plot landholders
• Internet-connected device: Dweepbhoomi is accessible on both mobile and desktop

Common mistakes to avoid:

• Assuming all islands are on the portal — some smaller remote islands are not yet digitised
• Entering the tehsil name in the district field — these are separate filters
• Not checking whether the property requires a Restricted Area Permit before searching for ownership
• Using unofficial websites claiming to show Andaman land records

Visit the official Dweepbhoomi portal

Open your browser on a mobile or desktop device and go to dweepbhoomi.andaman.gov.in. This is the only official portal for Andaman & Nicobar Islands land records — avoid third-party sites that may display outdated or incorrect data. First-time users will see the home page with navigation options for different types of land record searches. No login or registration is required for basic Jamabandi access. If the page loads slowly, try during off-peak hours such as early morning.

Select district, circle and village

On the home page, select your district from the drop-down list. Then choose the relevant circle (also called tehsil or mandal depending on Andaman & Nicobar Islands's administrative structure) and select the village from the list provided. The portal filters each level sequentially — district must be selected before circle, and circle before village. If unsure of the circle name, check your sale deed or previous land document where it is usually mentioned.

Choose Jamabandi or RoR search option

After selecting the location, the portal displays available search types. Choose the Jamabandi or RoR (Record of Rights) search option from the list. Depending on Andaman & Nicobar Islands's portal design, this may appear as 'View RoR (Record of Rights)', 'RoR Search', or 'Land Records'. Select the option that corresponds to the primary ownership document for Andaman & Nicobar Islands.

Enter Owner Name or Survey Number

Enter the Owner / tenant's name exactly as it appears on official documents — sale deed, Patta, or previous land record extract. If the name search returns too many entries, switch to Survey number search for a single precise result. For Survey number search, enter the number exactly as shown on the sale deed. Avoid abbreviations, initials, or phonetic guesses — the portal matches text exactly.

View ownership and land details

After clicking Search, select the relevant entry from the results list. The full RoR (Record of Rights) record displays:

• Owner / tenant name
• Survey number and Khata number
• Land area in acres and cents
• Land classification (agricultural, residential, etc.)
• Revenue assessment details
• Mutation history

Cross-check the Owner / tenant name, land area, and classification against your sale deed to confirm you are viewing the correct record before downloading.

Download or print Jamabandi records

Use the download or print option on the results page to save a PDF copy. On mobile, use your browser's share or download function. The downloaded copy is suitable for reference and preliminary verification. For legal proceedings, loan applications, or registration, request a certified copy from the South Andaman Revenue Office or local Tehsildar's office.

Survey number search on Dweepbhoomi is the most reliable method for identifying specific plots in Andaman & Nicobar Islands. Given the limited number of digitised records and the unique island-based geography, having the survey number from the title deed ready before searching saves significant time.

Why survey number search is more accurate: The Andaman & Nicobar Islands have a relatively small number of registered plots, but many property owners share common surnames among the settler and tribal communities. Survey number search bypasses this ambiguity and retrieves the exact parcel record.

When to use survey number search:

• The owner has a common name among the island community
• Verifying a specific coastal or forest-adjacent plot
• Checking a recently acquired plot where mutation may be pending
• Due diligence before purchasing land near restricted areas

Steps for survey number search on Dweepbhoomi:

1. Select island district (South Andaman, North and Middle Andaman, or Nicobar) and tehsil
2. Choose the village from the list
3. Select 'Survey Number' as the search type
4. Enter the survey number from your title deed
5. View the RoR entry and verify all details

Website loading issues: High traffic during peak hours slows the Dweepbhoomi portal. Try early morning or late evening. Clear your browser cache if pages fail to load, and switch to Wi-Fi if on mobile data.

Incorrect Survey number entry: A single digit error in the survey number returns no results or the wrong record. Double-check the number from your sale deed before entering it.

Name mismatch: The portal stores names exactly as registered. Try alternate spellings or switch to Survey number search if name-based search fails.

Missing historical records: Older records for some villages in Andaman & Nicobar Islands may not yet be digitised. Visit the South Andaman Revenue Office or local Tehsildar's office for records not available online.

Server downtime: Portal maintenance causes temporary unavailability. Try again after a few hours. Check the Department of Revenue, Andaman and Nicobar Administration website for maintenance updates.

Delayed mutation updates: Recent mutation orders can take weeks to appear online. The physical mutation order from the revenue office is the reference document in the interim.

Cyber fraud awareness:

• Use only dweepbhoomi.andaman.gov.in — never enter personal details on unofficial land record websites
• The Dweepbhoomi portal does not charge for basic Jamabandi viewing
• If asked to pay for a basic search, you are likely on a fraudulent site
• Report suspected fake portals to the Department of Revenue, Andaman and Nicobar Administration

When to visit the revenue office in person:

• Records not found despite correct details
• Certified copies needed for legal or loan purposes
• Disputes or errors in displayed records
• Mutation application status follow-up

Step 1 — Cross-check Survey number details: Verify the survey number on the RoR (Record of Rights) against the sale deed and physical boundary markers on site.

Step 2 — Verify ownership and mutation status: Confirm the Owner / tenant name matches the seller's Aadhaar and PAN. Check that all previous mutations are complete with no pending transfers.

Step 3 — Match seller identity proof: Cross-reference the registered Owner / tenant name with the seller's government-issued ID and any previous registered sale deed.

Step 4 — Check for pending disputes: Search district court records or consult the local revenue office for any pending litigation on the survey number.

Step 5 — Verify encumbrance certificate: Obtain an Encumbrance Certificate from the Sub-Registrar's office to confirm no mortgage, lien, or legal charge exists.

Step 6 — Conduct physical verification: Visit the land in person. Confirm boundaries, access, and area match the RoR (Record of Rights) records. Speak with neighbouring landowners about any boundary disputes.

Red flags checklist for buyers in Andaman & Nicobar Islands:

• Owner name on RoR does not match seller's identity documents
• Land classified as tribal reserve or forest land in Nicobar district
• Mutation pending from a previous unresolved transaction
• Restricted area permit requirements not disclosed by seller
• Survey number shows encumbrance or pending court case
• Property located near protected island areas with development restrictions

Lenders verify land records at multiple stages of the home loan process. A clean, dispute-free RoR (Record of Rights) record from Dweepbhoomi is often the first document a lender's legal team reviews.

Why lenders verify land records: Financial institutions cannot lend against a property with unclear title. The RoR (Record of Rights) from Dweepbhoomi confirms the borrower is the legal owner, boundaries are defined, and no prior encumbrance exists.

Role of mutation and title verification: Lenders check that the most recent mutation is complete — confirming the current owner's name is updated in official records. An incomplete mutation can delay or block loan approval.

How digital records speed up approvals: With Dweepbhoomi, borrowers can provide verified land record extracts digitally, reducing the time for the lender's legal team to complete property due diligence.

• Survey number is the primary identifier: Use the survey number from the title deed rather than owner name for the most precise RoR retrieval on Dweepbhoomi
• Tribal land in Nicobar is separately governed: Land in Nicobar's tribal areas follows different ownership rules — the Dweepbhoomi portal may not cover these records
• Certified copies are required for formal use: Downloaded RoR records are for reference — obtain certified copies from the South Andaman Revenue Office for legal and loan documentation
• Land records support home loan eligibility: A verified RoR from Dweepbhoomi with clear title and no encumbrance is a key document for home loan applications in the UT
