What is Meebhoomi?
Definition
Meebhoomi is the Andhra Pradesh revenue department's online land records portal at meebhoomi.ap.gov.in. It serves the Adangal (village account), the 1B ownership extract, mutation status, the Aadhaar-linked e-Passbook and the FMB sketch. Registration-side services, the EC, market value and 22A list, sit with IGRS AP.Think of AP land diligence as two halves. The record half lives on meebhoomi.ap.gov.in: who owns, who cultivates, how much, and where the lines run. The money half lives on registration.ap.gov.in: what is charged on the land, what it is worth to the state, and whether it may be sold at all.
Meebhoomi's quiet strength is integration. Registered transactions flow from the sub-registrar into the record automatically, which is why AP calls its mutation auto-mutation, and Aadhaar eKYC ties a holder's parcels together into one e-Passbook view. The portal is free for viewing, with small statutory fees only on certified copies and registration-side services.
Its limit is just as important: Meebhoomi is view-only for records. Corrections and succession cases travel through MeeSeva and the Tahsildar, and nothing on the record side reveals a mortgage. Every purchase needs both portals.
Meebhoomi or IGRS AP: where each service lives
Before the guides, orient yourself. AP splits land services across two departments, and knowing which portal answers which question saves half the frustration.
| Question | Portal | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Who owns and cultivates this land? | Meebhoomi | Adangal and 1B |
| What does this holder own altogether? | Meebhoomi | e-Passbook |
| What loans or charges sit on it? | IGRS AP | Encumbrance Certificate |
| What is it worth for stamp duty? | IGRS AP | Market value search |
| Can it legally be sold at all? | IGRS AP | 22A prohibited list |
| Where exactly do the lines run? | Meebhoomi / Bhu Naksha | FMB and map view |
One practical consequence: a clean Meebhoomi record with an unchecked IGRS side is half a diligence. The buyer sequence below runs both in the right order.
All Meebhoomi services, with a guide for each
Eleven guides, sorted by serving portal. The IGRS AP badge marks registration-department services; hunting for those on Meebhoomi is wasted time.
Meebhoomi records
5 guidesThe revenue department's own shelf: everything in this group serves from meebhoomi.ap.gov.in, keyed by survey number, khata or a linked Aadhaar.
The core record check: pattadar, occupant, extent and classification, searchable by survey number, khata or Aadhaar.
Trace by owner nameNo survey number? Locate the record by pattadar name, then anchor the match to the khata before relying on it.
Auto-Mutation P1Registered transactions rewrite the record on their own; heirs file succession through MeeSeva to the Tahsildar.
Certified Adangal copyThe authenticated MeeSeva issue that lenders and sub-registrars act on; the free view is for homework only.
e-PassbookThe Aadhaar-keyed portfolio view assembling every parcel under one khata into a single document.
Registration & value (IGRS AP)
3 guidesA different department entirely: registration.ap.gov.in holds the money questions. Debt, duty values and the registration bar never appear on the record side.
Trace the registered chain and every open charge before an advance; the record side never shows debt.
Market value lookupIGRS APThe state's rate card per survey number, the floor duty computes from whatever price the deed declares.
22A prohibited propertyIGRS APWhether the sub-registrar's system will accept the parcel at all; notified survey numbers cannot register.
Maps & sketches
2 guidesThe geometry layer. The FMB is the authoritative measured sketch; Bhu Naksha is the on-screen orientation view drawn from it.
Desk reconnaissance: shape, neighbours and road touch on screen before you spend a day travelling.
FMB & village mapThe measured drawing of record for every survey number, and the basis for any demarcation survey.
Conversion
1 guidesA single guide covering the legal event between farmland and buildable plot, and the approvals ladder that climbs from it.
Getting started on the portal
None of the guides work until you can reliably locate your parcel, so solve that once, here.
Three identifiers unlock everything
Survey number first, khata number second, Aadhaar third. Between the three, every lookup on this page resolves; when all three fail, the MRO's registers bridge the gap.
| Step | Online | Offline |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Access | Open meebhoomi.ap.gov.in; no login needed for viewing | The village MRO is the human fallback |
| 2. Identify the parcel | Enter survey number, khata number or Aadhaar | Carry the passbook so staff pull the right account |
| 3. Use the service | Pick the module; its guide above walks the rest | File corrections or succession via MeeSeva with proof |
| 4. Keep evidence | Save the record view; certify via MeeSeva when needed | Only issued, authenticated copies count |
MeeSeva centres are AP's service counter for anything the portal only displays: certified copies, corrections, succession mutation and the NA conversion application all route through them.
Which service do you actually need?
Start from what you are trying to learn, and the table hands you the right guide.
| You want to | Use this service | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Establish owner and occupant | Adangal and 1B on Meebhoomi | Adangal & 1B |
| Find land without papers | Trace by pattadar name | Name trace |
| Trace debt and the title chain | Encumbrance Certificate on IGRS AP | EC guide |
| See the record after a purchase | Auto-mutation verification | Mutation |
| Compute the duty floor | Market value on IGRS AP | Market value |
| Test the registration bar | 22A prohibited check | 22A check |
| Get the measured sketch | FMB via Meebhoomi | FMB |
| Make farmland buildable | NA conversion first | NA conversion |
The order a careful buyer runs these in
Treat the guides as a pipeline, not a pick-list: each check narrows what the next one has to worry about.
- Open with the Adangal and 1B. One name should run through the 1B owner, the Adangal occupant and the person across the table; anything else is a question. Guide: Adangal & 1B
- Clear the 22A bar early. The sub-registrar's system refuses notified parcels outright, so learn whether the deal can legally exist before refining it. Guide: 22A check
- Read the EC chain on IGRS AP. Every transfer should link and every mortgage should meet a release; gaps and open charges are the registration ledger's warnings. Guide: Encumbrance Certificate
- Verify the geometry. Match the Bhu Naksha shape and the FMB sketch against the ground, and insist on subdivision sketches for split parcels. Guide: FMB
- Price against the rate card. The government's basic value sets the duty floor, so compute the true closing cost before the first offer, not after. Guide: Market value
- Verify the automation, then archive. Auto-mutation should rewrite the 1B within about three weeks; confirm it, then take the MeeSeva certified copy that closes the file. Guide: Mutation
Common issues across the portal
Whichever guide brought you here, the snags below are the ones AP users actually hit.
Nine times in ten it is the wrong revenue village or a pre-digital khata. Fix the village at the MRO, then retry through the account number.
The 1B pattadar is not the Adangal cultivator. Treat it as a tenancy or possession question and resolve it on paper before any advance.
Auto-mutation stalls when the deed's survey, extent or names mismatched the record. Take the document number to the Tahsildar.
Aadhaar eKYC has not linked every parcel. Search the missing survey numbers directly and complete the linkage via MeeSeva.
Rules buyers should know
The land record will not show a mortgage. Pull the EC separately, and take 30 years for a purchase decision.
Assigned parcels carry transfer restrictions, and the law has been amended over the years. Verify the specific parcel's current status; never assume.
Building on unconverted farmland invites penalties and blocks finance. The NA order comes first, planning permissions second.
Walk the parcel against the occupant column and the FMB sketch. Where the field disagrees with the file, believe the field and investigate.
Survey Numbers View on Map Boundaries and numbers come from published state cadastral records. See all map layers.

Frequently asked questions
What services are available on Meebhoomi?
Meebhoomi serves the Adangal and 1B, name search, mutation status, certified copy access, the e-Passbook and FMB views. The EC, market value and 22A list sit with IGRS AP.
What is the difference between Meebhoomi and IGRS AP?
Meebhoomi is the revenue department's land records portal; IGRS AP is the registration department's. Records live on the first, money and charges on the second.
How do I check land ownership in Andhra Pradesh?
Pull the 1B for ownership and the Adangal for occupation on Meebhoomi, by survey number, khata or Aadhaar. Read both together.
Where do I get the Encumbrance Certificate?
On IGRS AP at registration.ap.gov.in, not on Meebhoomi. Request a thirty-year window for a purchase decision and dissect each entry.
Is mutation automatic in Andhra Pradesh?
For registered transactions, yes. The registration and revenue systems are integrated, so the record updates without a separate application. Inheritance files via MeeSeva.
What is the e-Passbook?
The Aadhaar-linked digital pattadar passbook on Meebhoomi, consolidating every parcel a holder owns under their khata.
Is the Bhu Naksha boundary legally binding?
No. It orients you. The FMB sketch is the record drawing, and a licensed demarcation survey marks legal lines on the ground.
Is Meebhoomi free to use?
Yes, viewing and printing records is free. Small statutory fees apply only to certified copies via MeeSeva and to registration-side services.
