How to Check Shajra Nasb in Haryana — Complete Guide 2026

Shajra Nasb is Haryana's hereditary ownership tree. It shows how land passed from one generation to the next — who inherited what, when, and from whom. Inherited land without a clean Shajra Nasb can have competing claims from siblings, heirs, or undivided family members. Check it. Always.

What is Shajra Nasb in Haryana?

Definition

Shajra Nasb is a pedigree table forming part of the Record of Rights in every revenue estate in Haryana. Prepared at the time of land settlement under the Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1887 (applicable to Haryana), it records succession to ownership rights across generations and is revised every five years alongside the Jamabandi.

The word Shajra comes from Arabic — it means tree. That naming is deliberate. The record branches. From one original owner, it shows who inherited next, and who followed after them, generation by generation. Every branch is a legal heir. Every junction is a succession event — a death, a partition, a mutation.

Two copies exist. One goes to the District Record Room at settlement. The other stays with the Patwari, updated through references whenever ownership changes occur. That Patwari copy is what you need to see when buying inherited land. It also functions as an index — the Jamabandi arranges owner accounts in the same order as the Shajra Nasb. So if you know the position in the Nasb, you can find the Khata number in the Jamabandi faster.

State-specific note: In Haryana, inherited land that shows multiple heirs in the Shajra Nasb requires all of them to relinquish or consent before a clean sale is possible. One undisclosed heir can legally challenge the transaction after registration.

How to Get Shajra Nasb in Haryana: Step-by-Step

Shajra Nasb is not fully available as a standalone download on the portal. Partial records are accessible via jamabandi.nic.in through the owner name search. Full pedigree extract requires a visit to the Patwari or Tehsil record room. Keep the owner name, village name, and Khewat number ready.

Online method (recommended)

Open the Jamabandi portal Go to jamabandi

nic.in. Click the Jamabandi tab and select Jamabandi Nakal for Checking. This gives access to the current Record of Rights which references the Shajra Nasb arrangement.

Search by owner name Select district, tehsil, and village

Choose "Owner Name" as the search type. Enter the name of the current seller or the original ancestor whose land it was. Multiple entries may appear if the family has been in that village across settlements.

Read the lineage entries In the Jamabandi Nakal, Column 4 shows owner names along with their father's and grandfather's names

This partial lineage reflects the Shajra Nasb arrangement. If multiple family members appear under the same Khewat, it signals co-ownership that needs to be resolved.

Cross-check the Khata number sequence against the seller's claimed ownership share. Any co-sharer listed is a potential competing claimant.

Note all co-sharers and follow up offline If the online record shows co-owners, visit the Patwari for the full Shajra Nasb extract

That document will show the complete family tree — including any heirs whose names may not have made it into the current Jamabandi yet.

Offline method (Sub-Registrar Office)

Identify the Patwari for that village Each village has a designated Patwari

Ask at the Tehsil office if you do not know who it is. Jurisdiction is strictly by village.

Request the Shajra Nasb extract Give the Patwari the owner name, village, and Khewat number

Ask specifically for the Shajra Nasb extract — not just the Jamabandi Nakal. The Patwari will locate the relevant pedigree entries from their copy.

Pay the fee and collect A small fee applies

The extract is stamped and signed by the Patwari. If the settlement-era copy is held at the District Record Room, the Patwari will direct you there for older records.

Ask for entries going back at least two generations from the current seller. One generation back is not enough to confirm there are no competing heirs.

What Does Shajra Nasb Contain in Haryana?

Each element in the Shajra Nasb pedigree table records something specific about how ownership passed through that family.

Field	What it means	What to check
The root of the family's land ownership in that estate	Establishes when the family first acquired the land Successive heirs	Names of each generation who inherited, with lineage details
Each heir's fractional share in the estate	If shares add up to more than the seller's claimed portion, there are co-owners Succession events	Deaths, partitions, gifts, court decrees recorded as transitions
Notes like "Bandobasti Kabij" (owner at settlement) or "Baap Dada Jivit Hai" (parents alive)	These contextual flags affect how ownership devolved at each stage Khata number reference	Links each heir to their account in the Jamabandi

Good sign: Single unbroken line of succession from original owner to current seller, each transition matched by a mutation entry in the Jamabandi, no co-sharers or undivided branches visible, and seller's full name matches across Shajra Nasb and current Jamabandi Nakal.

Common Issues With Shajra Nasb in Haryana

Most problems with inherited land in Haryana trace back to gaps or oversights in the Shajra Nasb — here is what to watch for.

Undisclosed heir surfaces after sale

Seller had three siblings. Two are abroad, one is estranged. Seller sells without informing or getting consent from the others. Shajra Nasb shows all four names as legal heirs. After registration, one sibling files a partition suit. This is not a rare scenario — it is one of the most common inherited land disputes in Haryana districts like Ambala, Hisar, and Fatehabad.

Fix: Pull the Shajra Nasb from the Patwari before any payment. Count every heir. Get written relinquishment or no-objection from each one before proceeding.

Partial mutation — only one heir updated

Father dies. Three children inherit. Only one child gets mutation done in their name, through fraud affidavit or by not disclosing the other heirs. Jamabandi shows one name. Shajra Nasb shows three. The other two can challenge at any point.

Fix: Match Jamabandi names against the Shajra Nasb pedigree. If the Nasb shows more heirs than the mutation reflects, that mutation is legally vulnerable.

Shajra Nasb entry not updated after death

Owner dies. No one files for mutation. Shajra Nasb and Jamabandi still show the deceased. Seller is the legal heir but the records have not caught up. Revenue system does not automatically update on death.

Fix: Seller must complete the inheritance mutation — called Intkaal — before sale. Death certificate, legal heir certificate, and mutation application all required. No exceptions.

Adopted or step-children missing from record

Under Hindu Succession Act, adopted children have equal inheritance rights. But older Shajra Nasb entries may not reflect them — especially adoptions that were informal or undocumented. A claim from an adopted heir years later can unravel a purchase.

Fix: Ask the seller directly about the full family composition. Any ambiguity about heirs requires a legal heir certificate from the Tehsildar before purchase.

Partition deed not reflected in revenue records

Family verbally divided land decades ago. Each member took physical possession of their portion. But no formal partition deed was registered and no mutation was filed. Revenue records still show the original undivided family holding. Buyer pays for one "share" but the record shows a joint holding.

Fix: Demand a registered partition deed and the corresponding mutation entry before any purchase of family land. Verbal or informal division does not exist in the revenue system.

Shajra Nasb entry inconsistent with Jamabandi

Shajra Nasb shows one ownership lineage. Jamabandi shows a different name as current owner — perhaps from a sale that happened but was never cross-referenced properly. These inconsistencies surface during loan processing and registration.

Fix: Both records must align. Take both documents to the Patwari and request a reconciliation note before proceeding with the purchase.

Why Shajra Nasb Matters for Land Buyers in Haryana

Buying inherited land without checking Shajra Nasb is buying into a family dispute you know nothing about.

📋

Only document that shows the full heir chain Jamabandi shows current ownership

Registered deed shows the last transaction. Neither shows who else has a hereditary claim from two generations back. Shajra Nasb is the only record that does. A clean Nasb with one line of succession is worth far more than a seller's confident claim.

⚠

Competing claims can surface long after registration Under Indian succession law, a legal heir who was not included in a mutation can challenge the transaction

Time limits exist but are not always strictly enforced by revenue courts. A buyer who did not check the Shajra Nasb has limited recourse when a previously unknown sibling or heir files a claim after registration.

🏦

Required for clear title in inherited land purchases Banks processing loans for inherited land routinely ask for the Shajra Nasb extract as part of due diligence

A clean Nasb showing uncontested single-heir succession speeds up approval. Any co-sharers listed trigger additional verification requirements.

🔍

Haryana-specific: common in districts with large ancestral landholdings Districts like Hisar, Sirsa, Fatehabad, Rohtak, and Bhiwani have extensive ancestral agricultural land held across multiple generations

These families rarely completed formal partitions. The Shajra Nasb in these areas frequently shows four or five heirs under the same Khewat. Buyers in these districts face higher inherited-land risk than anywhere else in Haryana.

Red flag: Seller says "I am the only child" or "other siblings gave me their share verbally." That costs nothing to say. Get the Shajra Nasb from the Patwari and count the names yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Shajra Nasb in Haryana 2026?

Shajra Nasb is the hereditary pedigree table maintained by the Patwari as part of Haryana's Record of Rights. It records how land passed through generations — who inherited, in what share, and when. Essential for any inherited land purchase.

How is Shajra Nasb different from Jamabandi?

Jamabandi shows current ownership. Shajra Nasb shows the full ancestry — how that ownership was reached across generations. Jamabandi can look clean while Shajra Nasb reveals three undisclosed heirs. Both must be checked for inherited land.

How to get Shajra Nasb from the Patwari in Haryana?

Visit the Patwari for the village where the land is located. Give the owner name, Khewat number, and village. Ask specifically for the Shajra Nasb extract. Pay the nominal fee and collect the stamped copy.

Why is Shajra Nasb important for inherited land in Haryana?

It is the only record that shows every legal heir across generations. A seller may have siblings, cousins, or adopted heirs with equal claims. Shajra Nasb surfaces all of them. Missing this check is the single biggest risk in buying inherited land.

What if a sibling's name is missing from the current Jamabandi?

Check the Shajra Nasb — their name may still appear there as a legal heir. A mutation that excluded them is legally challengeable. Get written relinquishment from every heir listed in the Nasb before paying anything.

How often is Shajra Nasb updated in Haryana?

Formally revised every five years with the Jamabandi settlement. In between, the Patwari updates their working copy through suitable references when succession events occur. Interim changes do not always reach the District Record Room copy immediately.

Can Shajra Nasb reveal competing ownership claims?

Yes. That is its primary value for buyers. If the Nasb shows multiple heirs under one Khewat and the mutation only reflects one of them, the others still have legal standing to claim. No document exposes this risk faster than the Shajra Nasb.

Is Shajra Nasb available online in Haryana?

Partial lineage information is accessible through the owner name search on jamabandi.nic.in via the Jamabandi Nakal. The full standalone Shajra Nasb extract is not yet available as a direct download — physical copy from the Patwari or Tehsil record room is needed.
