Overview
In Punjab, every piece of agricultural land is identified by its khasra number (the field number) within a village, held in a khewat (the ownership holding) and recorded in the Jamabandi, the record of rights. Searches for Punjab survey numbers, Bhulekh Punjab or Punjab Bhunaksha lead to the same records: Punjab calls its online land record the Jamabandi, and it is run for the Revenue Department by the Punjab Land Records Society (PLRS). PLRS was set up by the Government of Punjab under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, to computerise land records and deliver them online and through Sukhmani Centres. The state has 23 districts, 93 tehsils and 87 sub-tehsils, and each village record sits with a Patwari. The Jamabandi portal states that the digital record of rights is available from 2002. What most buyers call the PLRS map is really two different things. The Jamabandi tells you who owns which khasra and in what share. The village map, called the Shajra, and the plot extract from it, called the Tatima or Aks Shajra, show where that khasra lies on the ground. As of October 2026, the PLRS website's Punjab Maps (GIS) page reads 'under construction' and the Jamabandi portal has no cadastral map viewer, so the map still comes from the Patwari. This page explains how to view the Jamabandi and PLRS records online, what the One Map Punjab portal shows, and how to get a land map by khasra number.
How to view the PLRS map in Punjab
There is no single online PLRS map for a whole village. You view the record online on the Jamabandi portal, run by PLRS, and get the map extract from the Patwari. Viewing the Jamabandi needs no office visit.

Use the khasra numbers from step 4 for the Patwari application, and keep both documents together: the Jamabandi says who owns the land, and the Tatima shows where it is. If the khasra numbers on the two do not match, they describe different land. Stop and ask the Tehsildar to reconcile them before paying any advance.
One Map Punjab portal: what it shows and how it differs from PLRS
One Map Punjab (onemap.punjab.gov.in) is a GIS portal of the Punjab Municipal Infrastructure Development Company (PMIDC), developed by the Geo-Spatial Technology and Services Division of the National Informatics Centre. PMIDC is a company of the Department of Local Government, which works with Punjab's urban local bodies. The portal has Citizen, Department and Dashboard sections, and PMIDC offers Android apps for property editing and geotagging and for green plantation geotagging. That makes One Map Punjab a municipal map, not the revenue record of khasra ownership. For agricultural land, PLRS and the Patwari remain the source.

Use One Map Punjab to understand a property inside municipal limits. For rural and agricultural land, or any plot described by khasra and khewat numbers, start with the Jamabandi portal and the Patwari.

Finding a Punjab land map by khasra number takes three records, read side by side.
1. Confirm the khasra on the Jamabandi. Use the khasra number search on jamabandi.punjab.gov.in for the district, tehsil and village. Note the khewat number, every owner and share, and the area. 2. Get the Tatima from the Patwari. Apply at the Patwari circle office with the khasra number, village and tehsil, a Jamabandi printout and your ID. The Tatima, also called Aks Shajra, is drawn from the village Shajra and shows the khasra's boundaries and the neighbouring khasras. 3. Walk the land with the Tatima. Match each side, the neighbouring khasras and any path or watercourse to what is on the ground.

Watch for the common Punjab gap: family land divided by agreement but not partitioned in the record. If a seller offers part of an undivided khasra, ask for the recorded partition first. The Jamabandi portal now accepts applications for oral or family partition, which shows the state treats unrecorded splits as a problem worth fixing. Where a boundary is disputed, apply to the Tehsildar for demarcation before you pay.

For a Jamabandi download, view the record and save or print it for your own checks. For a bank, a court or registration, ask for a certified fard: an online view is a working copy, not certified proof. Before you pay any advance, also check the mutation and Roznamcha entries for the same khasra, because a sale or charge can be pending before it reaches the Jamabandi.
