What is Bhu Naksha in Chhattisgarh?

Definition

Bhu Naksha is the digital cadastral map maintained by the Survey Department of Chhattisgarh through the Bhuiyan integrated land records system at bhuiyan.cg.nic.in. It forms the official graphical record of plot boundaries under the Chhattisgarh Land Revenue Code, 1959.

Every land parcel in Chhattisgarh has a corresponding Bhu Naksha entry. The map shows the plot's shape, its Khasra number, adjoining plot numbers, and calculated area. These details matter more than sellers often let on. Land in CG's peri-urban zones rarely looks like a clean rectangle. Parcels carved from agricultural holdings carry irregular shapes, access road dependencies, and shared boundary walls that ownership documents do not describe. Bhu Naksha makes these physical realities visible before any money changes hands.

The Bhuiyan portal made this map freely available statewide, removing the older need to visit the Patwari just to see a boundary. But free access has not eliminated disputes. Digital cadastral maps in older settlements in Bastar and Surguja divisions sometimes carry inaccuracies from original survey settlements done before computerisation. Where the map and physical boundaries diverge, the map is the starting reference, not the final word. A formal demarcation by the Survey Department settles the ground truth.

State-specific note: In Chhattisgarh, Bhu Naksha is free and instant at bhuiyan.cg.nic.in. No fee, no login, no Patwari visit needed for a first-level boundary check.

How to Get Bhu Naksha in Chhattisgarh: Step-by-Step via Bhuiyan Portal

Offline method (Sub-Registrar Office)

What Does Bhu Naksha Contain in Chhattisgarh?

Each plot map on the Bhuiyan portal carries these six data fields.

Field	What it means	What to check
Khasra Number	Unique identifier for the parcel	Must match B1 Khasra and sale deed exactly
Plot Shape and Boundary	Graphical boundary lines of the parcel	Check for encroachments from adjacent plots
Adjacent Plot Numbers	Neighbouring parcels on all sides	Verify shared boundaries match the seller’s claim
Calculated Area	Land area from cadastral survey	Compare with the area stated in the sale deed
Owner Name	Current registered holder in Bhuiyan	Should match the seller’s identity and ownership documents
Land Classification	Agricultural or Non-agricultural	Determines whether construction is legally permitted

Good sign: The map loads correctly for the stated Khasra number, shows a distinct boundary with no overlaps, and the area and owner name match the B1 extract and sale documents.

Common Issues With Bhu Naksha in Chhattisgarh

Four boundary problems appear regularly in CG plot maps.

Map not updated after partition

When a larger holding is split between family members, the Bhu Naksha sometimes still shows the undivided parent plot. Sub-parcels exist in the B1 but are not yet mapped separately.

Fix: Check whether the B1 shows a sub-division. If yes and the map does not reflect it, request a Survey Department demarcation before proceeding.

Physical boundaries differ from digital map

Ground fences, walls, and access roads in older CG villages often do not align with the cadastral boundary. Both parties may have been occupying incorrect land for years.

Fix: Commission a physical demarcation by the Survey Department before signing the sale deed. The digital map alone is not enough.

Khasra mismatch between Bhu Naksha and B1

If the Khasra number on the map and the B1 extract do not match, one record has an error or the seller is showing the wrong parcel. Registering on mismatched records can mean you acquire title to a different plot than intended.

Fix: Report the discrepancy to the Patwari and get it corrected before any payment.

Adjacent plot encroachment shown on map

Some CG cadastral maps show a neighbouring plot overlapping or incorrectly abutting the target parcel. Buyers who ignore this find the boundary dispute active the moment construction starts.

Fix: Flag any overlap to the Survey Department immediately. A demarcation order resolves the dispute on official record.

Why Bhu Naksha Matters for Land Buyers in Chhattisgarh

Bhu Naksha answers four questions that no ownership document can address on its own.

📋

Confirms what you are physically buying A sale deed states area and Khasra number; Bhu Naksha shows the shape and location

Only by comparing both does a buyer know whether the physical land matches the legal description.

⚠

Reveals encroachments before they become court cases Neighbours, roads, and structures encroaching on a boundary appear in Bhu Naksha before causing a dispute

Catching them at the map stage costs nothing; finding them after registration takes years to resolve.

🏦

Required for building and layout approvals Municipal bodies and gram panchayats in CG use cadastral boundary data to process building plan approvals

A plot map that does not match physical land will stall or block those approvals.

🔍

Chhattisgarh-specific: Free instant access via Bhuiyan Unlike states where plot maps require a paid Patwari visit, CG provides Bhu Naksha free and immediately at bhuiyan

cg.nic.in. Skipping this step on a CG land purchase has no practical justification.

Red flag: If the seller says Bhu Naksha is "not yet updated" or "shows the old survey," insist on a Survey Department demarcation before any payment. An outdated map means an unresolved boundary dispute.
