Buying in Jharkhand? The khatiyan is the beginning — in scheduled areas, the law decides who may buy at all.

The records here

Your documents are in Hindi. The engine reads Hindi.

Your khatiyan, sale deeds, and the tenancy-class papers — read in their own language, with no translation step and no document set aside because of its script. The state's Bhulekh portal shows the entries; the deeds behind them are what the check reads.

What the record won't tell you.

Whether the land lies in a scheduled area, whether the transferor held the class of right they claim, whether the transfer needs the Deputy Commissioner's approval under the CNT or SPT Act — none of that is visible in a khata entry. A transfer that violates these Acts is void from the start. Registration records a transaction; it does not prove ownership — the Supreme Court said so in 2025.

If a document is missing, your preliminary report names it, names the check it unlocks, and names the office holding it — the Sub-Registrar's office for deeds, the Revenue Circle for khatiyan records, the Deputy Commissioner's office for tenancy approvals.

FAQ — Jharkhand

The seller is a tribal and the land is in a scheduled area. Can a non-tribal buy it?

Under the Chotanagpur and Santhal Parganas Tenancy Acts, transfer of tribal land to a non-tribal in a scheduled area requires the competent authority's approval — without it the deed is void, regardless of registration. The check reads the tenancy class and the chain; the report tells you what applies to this property.

The khatiyan is in the seller's name. Isn't that enough?

A khatiyan is a record of possession and class, not a proof of title. The question in Jharkhand is whether the transfer itself is lawful — the khatiyan can be perfectly clean and the deed still void. The check reads both; the report shows you where the chain holds and where it doesn't.

It's the property check where you see everything it checked.
