What is Bhuiyan?
Definition
CG Bhuiyan, run by the Revenue and Disaster Management Department, serves three registers, the B-1 Khatauni, the P-II Khasra and the Girdawari, reached by district, tehsil, RI and village. Deeds sit on e-Panjiyan and the map on Bhu Naksha CG. Because ownership, plot and possession live apart, verify the registers reconcile on bhuiyan.cg.nic.in before relying on any one of them.Carry one idea into every Chhattisgarh file: there is no single record. The B-1 tells you who is the Bhumiswami, the P-II Khasra tells you what the plot is, the Girdawari tells you who is cultivating it, and the deeds tell you what has been borrowed against it. Each answers one question and stays silent on the others, so the real work is pulling all of them and seeing whether they agree.
What CG Bhuiyan gives you is early sight of three of those four answers. The B-1, the P-II Khasra and the Girdawari open from any handset, keyed down through district, tehsil, RI and village, so a buyer can compare ownership, plot and possession before a single meeting. The map on Bhu Naksha CG places the parcel, and the classification and area sit there to be read against one another well before an advance is discussed.
What the portal cannot do is prove title or stand in for the fourth register. The B-1 is prima facie evidence, while the registered deed carries title and lives on e-Panjiyan; the Girdawari shows possession that a fresh B-1 may not yet reflect; and Chhattisgarh treats the portal copy as reference only, so a formal step wants the certified grade. The registers open the enquiry; the deed, the office and the ground close it.
CG Bhuiyan: what sits where, across the stack
Eight services spread across three registers, a fourth off-portal, a map and the transfer rules. This is how they fit together.
| You need | It lives at | The Chhattisgarh catch |
|---|---|---|
| Ownership | The B-1 Khatauni | Prima facie, not final title |
| The plot and possession | The P-II Khasra and Girdawari | Can lag behind the B-1 |
| Deeds and charges | e-Panjiyan | Off Bhuiyan, part paper for old years |
| Plot shape | Bhu Naksha CG | Must square with the P-II area |
| A usable copy | The Tehsil, the Collectorate | Portal copy is reference only |
| Building or tribal transfer | The SDO, the Collector | Section 172 and Section 165 govern |
In practice, read the B-1, P-II and Girdawari together on CG Bhuiyan, trace the deeds on e-Panjiyan, square the plot on Bhu Naksha CG, and take diversion or a tribal transfer to the SDO or Collector. The screen shows three registers; whether the land is yours to buy is settled once they reconcile with the deed, the office and the ground.
All Bhuiyan services, with a guide for each
Eight services, sorted into four families below. The P1 tag marks the reads a purchase turns on; the e-Panjiyan tag marks the one service on the registration side; Confirm marks where the rule should be checked afresh.
The three registers
3 guidesOwnership, plot and possession, how to reach them by name, and the attested copy a formal step needs.
The three registers: ownership, plot and possession, read as one.
Search by nameA name opens the B-1; the P-II and Girdawari still have to be pulled.
Certified copyThe attested register a bank or court needs, since the portal copy is reference only.
Deeds, off Bhuiyan
1 guidesThe fourth register: the deed chain and charges that carry title, searched on e-Panjiyan.
Placing the plot
1 guidesThe cadastral shape that locates a plot, and must square with the recorded P-II area.
Change, use and tribal
3 guidesHow a transfer is recorded on the B-1, how farm land is diverted to build, and when tribal land may pass.
Getting started on the portal
Every service also has an offline path, at the Tehsil, the sub-registrar or the Collectorate.
What identifies a Chhattisgarh holding
A district, tehsil, RI and village place the record, the Khasra number pins one plot, and the B-1 gathers a Bhumiswami's holdings; an owner name is the loose fallback when a Khasra is missing. Whichever key you use, the point is to open all three registers for that plot, since ownership, area and possession each sit in a different one.
| Step | Online | Offline |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Access | Open CG Bhuiyan, pick a register | Go to the Tehsil in person |
| 2. Identify the parcel | Narrow to district, RI, village | Ask the Patwari for the record |
| 3. Use the service | Query by Khasra, name or B-1 | File it at the Tehsil window |
| 4. Keep evidence | Save the B-1, P-II and map | Take the certified copy from the office |
Three offices settle a Chhattisgarh deal the screen cannot. The Tehsil, with its Tehsildar, Revenue Inspector and Patwari, holds the registers and passes mutation; the SDO grants the Section 172 diversion that lets farm land be built on; and the Collector governs the permission a Section 165 tribal transfer may need. The portal shows the registers; these offices decide what may lawfully be done with the plot.
Which Bhuiyan service do you need?
Begin with the task in front of you; most routes end by reconciling the registers, since that is where a Chhattisgarh file is decided.

The order a careful buyer runs these in
A Chhattisgarh purchase runs in order: read the three registers, search the deeds, place the plot, test transfer and use, secure any permission, then register and mutate.
- Read the three registers. Pull the B-1 for ownership, the P-II Khasra for the plot, and the Girdawari for possession, and see that they agree. Guide: Records guide
- Search the fourth register. On e-Panjiyan, trace the deeds and charges back many years, reaching the bound volumes for the older ones. Guide: EC guide
- Place the plot, square the area. Locate the parcel on Bhu Naksha and check its shape against the recorded P-II area. Guide: Bhu Naksha guide
- Test transfer and use. Check any Section 165 tribal restriction, and whether Section 172 diversion is needed to build. Guide: Tribal-land guide
- Get any permission first. Where a transfer needs it, hold the Collector's or SDO's permission before a deed is signed. Guide: Diversion guide
- Register, then mutate the B-1. Register the deed, then mutate so the B-1 names you, and confirm the P-II and Girdawari reconcile. Guide: Mutation guide
Common issues across the portal
Four snags account for most failed Chhattisgarh deals.
A clean B-1 is acted on before the P-II and Girdawari are pulled. Read all three, since ownership says nothing about the plot or who holds it.
A current entry is treated as conclusive ownership. Verify the registered deed on e-Panjiyan, which carries title, behind the B-1.
The Bhu Naksha shape does not square with the P-II Khasra area. Settle the mismatch at the Patwari or Tehsil before valuing the plot.
Farm land is bought to build on. Confirm the Section 172 diversion, shown in the registers, before you plan a structure.
CG Bhuiyan: rules a buyer should know
Ownership, plot and possession sit in three registers. Read the B-1, P-II and Girdawari together, and treat any gap between them as a warning.
It is prima facie evidence, and the portal copy is reference only. The registered deed carries title, so verify it and use the certified grade.
Farm land needs Section 172 diversion, from the SDO, before any construction. A real diversion should show across the B-1 and P-II.
Under Section 165 an aboriginal-tribe holding may be barred, or need the Collector's permission. A breach is void and restorable under Section 170B.

Frequently asked questions
What is CG Bhuiyan?
CG Bhuiyan, run by the Revenue and Disaster Management Department, is the Chhattisgarh portal for three land registers: the B-1 Khatauni, the P-II Khasra and the Girdawari.
What are the B-1, P-II and Girdawari?
They are the three Chhattisgarh registers: the B-1 records ownership, the P-II Khasra records the plot and area, and the Girdawari records the season crop and possession.
Does the B-1 prove ownership?
No. It is prima facie evidence of ownership, not conclusive title. The registered deed on e-Panjiyan carries title, so verify it and reconcile the other registers.
Can a non-tribal buy tribal land in Chhattisgarh?
Under Section 165, in notified tribal-majority areas no such transfer is allowed; elsewhere it needs the Collector's prior permission. A breach is void and restorable under Section 170B.
Is the CG Bhuiyan portal copy valid for transactions?
No. Chhattisgarh treats the online record as reference only. For a bank, court or registration, obtain the certified copy from the Tehsil or Collectorate.
Where do I check deeds in Chhattisgarh?
On e-Panjiyan, the registration side, off the Bhuiyan registers. Older deeds may sit only in the sub-registrar's bound volumes, so reach back many years.
Do I need permission to build on farm land?
Yes. Agricultural land needs Section 172 diversion from the Sub-Divisional Officer, on a premium, before construction. A real diversion should show across the B-1 and P-II.
Is the online record enough to buy on?
No. It shows three registers, not the title or any permission. Check the deed on e-Panjiyan, reconcile the registers, and confirm any Section 165 or 172 position first.
