What is Bihar Bhoomi Jankari?

Bihar Bhoomi Jankari is an online property registration information portal maintained by the Prohibition, Excise and Registration Department of the Government of Bihar. It helps citizens search and access information about registered property transactions.


The portal provides services such as:

  • View MVR: Helps you check the Minimum Value Register rates applicable to land based on its location.
  • View registered document: Allows you to access available information about registered property documents.
  • View web copy: Provides access to available web copies of registered documents.
  • Advance search: Allows you to search property records using different identifiers and registration details.
  • Search by party name: Helps locate registered records using the name of a buyer, seller or other party.
  • Search by serial number: Helps retrieve records using the relevant registration serial number.

The portal provides access to registration records from three broad periods:

Registration periodRecord category
Before 2005Pre-computerisation records
2006 to 2015Post-computerisation records
2016 onwardsOnline registration records

The department has clarified that registered-document data on the Bhoomi Jankari portal is available only up to 15th December 2024. Information relating to documents registered from 16th December 2024 onwards is accessible through the certified-copy module of the eNibandhan portal.


For example, if you want to examine a sale deed registered in Patna in 2022, you can use the relevant search facility on Bhoomi Jankari. If the deed was registered in January 2025, you should use the eNibandhan certified-copy service instead.

Bhoomi Jankari is different from BiharBhumi. The latter is maintained by the Revenue and Land Reforms Department and provides services such as online Jamabandi, mutation, land revenue payment and Land Possession Certificate (LPC).


If you are reviewing property records before financing, also check the ownership documents, revenue records and existing mortgage details. These checks are relevant when considering Bajaj Finance Loan Against Property, which involves legal and property verification.

How can you check MVR on Bihar Bhoomi Jankari?

The Minimum Value Register (MVR) provides the minimum valuation information used for land and property registration in the relevant area. You can use the MVR service on Bihar Bhoomi Jankari to examine the applicable minimum value based on the property's location and other details.


Follow these steps:

  1. Open the official Bihar Bhoomi Jankari portal.
  2. Select View MVR or View Flat MVR, depending on the property type.
  3. Choose the relevant district and registration office.
  4. Enter the property location and other details requested by the portal.

For example, Rahul, aged 42, plans to purchase a plot in Muzaffarpur. Before proceeding with registration, he checks the MVR applicable to the property's location. He can use this information as a reference when reviewing the minimum valuation for registration purposes.

The MVR should not be treated as a guaranteed market selling price. The actual transaction value may differ depending on the property's location, condition, characteristics and prevailing market conditions.

For example, Vivek, aged 46, wants to retrieve a sale deed registered in Gaya in February 2025. He searches for the document on Bhoomi Jankari but cannot find it. Since the department's portal notice states that records after 15th December 2024 are available through the eNibandhan certified-copy module, he should use that service instead.

If the record is still unavailable, contact the relevant registration office with the deed details and registration acknowledgement.

Does Bihar Bhoomi Jankari prove ownership of a property?

Bihar Bhoomi Jankari does not independently establish clear legal ownership of a property. It helps you examine available registered property transactions and retrieve relevant registration records.

A registered sale deed is an important document in a property transaction, but you should examine the complete ownership chain and relevant revenue records before making a purchase.

The main documents serve different purposes.

DocumentWhat it helps establish
Registered sale deedDetails of a registered property transfer.
Bihar Bhoomi Jankari recordAvailable information about registered property transactions.
JamabandiRecorded landholding, khata, khesra, area and land revenue details.
Mutation recordChanges recorded in revenue records following a transfer or other eligible event.
Encumbrance-related recordsRelevant registered transactions identified through the available registration search.
Land mapLocation, boundaries and survey-related details of a land parcel.
Legal title reviewAssessment of ownership history, claims and supporting documents.

Last reviewed: 30th October, 2026


A Jamabandi entry does not automatically establish undisputed legal ownership. Similarly, a registered document search does not reveal every possible unregistered claim or dispute.

If you are purchasing land in Bihar, compare the registered sale deed with the available Jamabandi, mutation records and relevant land documents. Resolve discrepancies before completing the transaction.

How does Bihar Bhoomi Jankari matter for a loan against property?

Bihar Bhoomi Jankari helps you examine registered property transactions that may form part of the documentation reviewed when you apply for a loan against property. It supports property verification but does not independently determine ownership or loan eligibility.


Consider Nishant, aged 43, who owns a commercial property in Patna and wants funds to expand his business. Before applying, he checks the available registered transaction records through Bhoomi Jankari and reviews the property's Jamabandi and mutation details through BiharBhumi.

During the loan against property application process, he also provides the registered sale deed and other property documents requested by the lender.

If the available records show an earlier registered mortgage, Nishant should obtain the relevant loan-closure and mortgage-release documents if the previous loan has been repaid.


Bajaj Finance Loan Against Property assesses eligible properties through legal, technical and valuation checks. The applicant's income, credit profile and repayment capacity are also reviewed. Bajaj Finance offers loan amounts of up to ₹15.50 crore, with repayment tenures of up to 15 years, subject to eligibility and property assessment. Before deciding how much to borrow, compare loan against property interest rates and use the loan against property EMI calculator to estimate your repayment commitment. Once you have reviewed your property and existing mortgage records, you can check your loan against property eligibility with Bajaj Finance to explore your borrowing options.
