How to Check Khasra Number in Punjab — Complete Guide 2026
A Khasra number is the unique plot ID the Patwari assigns to every rural land parcel in Punjab under the Revenue Department. Before buying land, check the Khasra number on jamabandi.punjab.gov.in — it tells you exactly what you are purchasing. This guide covers how to find, read, and use it correctly.
What is Khasra Number in Punjab Land Records?
Definition
The Khasra number is a unique survey identifier assigned to every rural land parcel in Punjab, recorded in the village Jamabandi by the Patwari under the Punjab Revenue Department. It acts as the plot's permanent identity across all revenue documents.
The Patwari surveys the village, draws the Shajra (cadastral map), and gives each parcel a number. That number sticks to the land permanently — it shows up in the Jamabandi, Fard, mutation records, and registry deeds. No Khasra number means no way to pull the ownership history or check for pending court cases on the plot.
The record covers more than a plot ID. Owner name, area in Kanals and Marlas, land type (agricultural, Gair Mumkin, Barani, Nehri), crops grown, irrigation source, tenancy status — all of it sits under that one number. When land gets split after a sale or partition, sub-numbers appear: 127 turns into 127/1 and 127/2. Banks use it for loan checks, courts pull it in title disputes, and government departments refer to it during acquisition proceedings.
