Telangana has introduced Bhu Bharati as its latest land management system, replacing Maa Bhoomi and Dharani. It serves as a single portal for land records, property transfers, and ownership verification across the state.
Latest Updates
Telangana has replaced the older Dharani system with the new Bhu Bharati portal. Land record errors can now be corrected more quickly at the Mandal or District level instead of through a centralised process. The platform now has only 6 main modules, compared to 33 in Dharani.
- Restored 11-Column Pahani: Important details, such as the actual cultivator or occupant and the mode of acquisition, have been brought back.
- Bhudhaar ID: Every verified land parcel receives a unique 14-digit Bhudhaar number, similar to an Aadhaar number for land.
The Government of Telangana has introduced Bhu Bharati as its latest land records system. It replaces the earlier Maa Bhoomi and Dharani platforms and serves as a single portal for managing land records, property transfers, and ownership verification across the state.
The Bhudhaar number, also called Bhu-Aadhaar, is a unique 14-digit identification number assigned to every land parcel in Telangana.
Depending on the type of land property you own, you will need to use different official portals:
Pahani is a legal record maintained by the Revenue Department that details a land parcel's physical condition, use, and cultivation for a specific year.
ROR 1B (Record of Rights) is an official land ownership record maintained by the Revenue Department. It contains details of the landowner (Pattadar), survey numbers, land extent, and all landholdings registered in a person's name within a village.
There are three methods to check Pahani/Adangal & ROR 1B Online in Telangana:
The steps to search by Survey Number/Sub-Division Number are as follows:
Step 1: Visit the official Bhu Bharati Portal.
