Overview
Chandigarh's land system is split between urban planned areas (managed by the Chandigarh Estate Office) and rural periphery villages (under Khasra/Jamabandi records). In urban Chandigarh, plots are typically identified by sector and plot number rather than traditional survey numbers. In rural areas, the system mirrors Punjab and Haryana, using Khasra (field number) and Jamabandi (occupancy register).
For property transactions, the relevant document depends on location: urban properties use Estate Office records and mutation documents, while rural land uses traditional Khasra and Jamabandi. 1acre is building map-based search for Chandigarh—coming soon.

Get supportOne plot, many names — what ‘survey number’ means here
1. Plot Number (Urban):
In urban Chandigarh, plots are identified by sector and number (e.g., Sector 17, Plot 45) rather than survey numbers; the Estate Office maintains official records.
2. Khasra Number (Rural):
The field or plot number in Chandigarh's rural periphery; assigned during cadastral survey and used in revenue records.
3. Jamabandi:
The occupancy register in rural areas, showing rights holders and their interests in the land.
4. Mutation:
The official update to land records when ownership changes; required for urban property transfers in Chandigarh.
