Overview
Kerala's land records use two survey identifiers: the old survey number and the new resurvey number. They correspond 1:1, but if you have an old document, you need the resurvey number to look up modern government records. Both are recorded in your 7/12 (Pattayachi) extract — Kerala's foundational land document.
The 1acre map for Kerala is coming soon. Get notified on WhatsApp when it launches — you'll tap any location and see both the survey number and resurvey number, then cross-check them against e-Rekha or Ente Bhoomi to verify boundaries and ownership.

Get supportOne plot, many names — what ‘survey number’ means here
1. Survey Number (Old):
The original parcel identifier from pre-resurvey records. Recorded in older deeds and 7/12 extracts. Often called just 'survey number.'
2. Resurvey Number (New):
The updated parcel identifier from the resurvey. Used in modern government portals and current 7/12 extracts. Must use this to search e-Rekha or Ente Bhoomi.
3. 7/12 (Pattayachi) Extract:
Kerala's record of rights — shows ownership, extent, boundaries, resurvey number, and encumbrances. The legal foundation.
4. Thandaper Account:
Village-level register that groups land by owner. Useful for understanding multiple parcels under one name.
5. e-Rekha vs Ente Bhoomi:
Both portals access the same official records — e-Rekha for documents, Ente Bhoomi for interactive mapping. One search works on both.
Which record, which portal — for what
Different tasks need different records and portals. Here is the map.
