What is a Khasra Number in Uttarakhand?

Definition

The Khasra number is the unique survey number assigned to a land parcel by the Revenue Department, recorded on village maps and in the Khatauni. It is the unique plot identifier recorded by the local revenue office on village maps and in registers, linking ownership, area, crop data, tenancy and boundary details.

Different name, same thing, in Uttarakhand. In Uttarakhand, Khasra Number is called Gata number, a unique number for every plot of land, found on old Khatauni records or the registry. A patwari saying "Gata number" isn't talking about something else. Don't get tripped up by that mid-conversation.

Why does this number matter so much? Because everything else points back to it. The Khatauni, the Mula Deed, the map, all reference this same number. A Khasra identifies a specific plot using a unique number and includes details like size and usage. Wrong number, wrong plot, and every check after that is worthless. Start here.

State-specific note: The Khasra (Gata) number is the essential plot ID in Uttarakhand. Every Khatauni, map, and deed reference for a parcel ties back to this one number.

How to Check the Khasra Number in Uttarakhand: Online and Offline

Bhulekh UK checks this for free. Have district, tehsil, village ready, and the seller's claimed Khasra (Gata) number if you've got it.

Online method (recommended)

Open Bhulekh UK Go to bhulekh

uk.gov.in, select Public ROR from the home page.

Choose district, tehsil, village Pick the land's location from the dropdowns

Search by Khasra or Gata number Enter the number and pull up the record

No number yet? Search by owner name and read it off the result.

Cross-check on Bhunaksha For the Uttarakhand land map, visit bhunaksha

uk.gov.in, a separate portal from Bhulekh. Select district, tehsil, village, then enter the Gata number to view the map.

Devbhoomi.uk.gov.in and bhulekh.uk.gov.in are the same portal under two URLs, either works for the Khatauni side.

Offline method (Sub-Registrar Office)

Visit the village Patwari They maintain the village map and Khasra records on the ground

Request the Khasra entry Ask for the record tied to the Gata number, with area and land type

Pay the fee Small charge for a certified printout

Confirm with Revenue Department.

Collect the extract Same-day for digitised records, usually

Match it against the online entry before trusting either alone.

What Does the Khasra Record Contain in Uttarakhand?

Five fields here tell you what you're actually buying.

Field	What It Means	What to Verify
Khasra/Gata Number	Unique identifier assigned to the plot	Matches the Khatauni, title deed, and cadastral map
Area	Recorded size of the land parcel	Matches measurements from a physical survey
Land Type	Classification of the land (agricultural, non-agricultural, etc.)	Confirms the permitted use under current regulations
Owner Reference	Link to the corresponding owner entry in the Khatauni	Cross-check against the Khatauni and Mula Deed
Boundary Description	Details of adjoining plots and neighboring properties	Confirms the plot's location relative to neighboring lands

Good sign: The Khasra number matches the Bhulekh entry exactly, area and land type line up across Khatauni, deed, and Bhunaksha map. That's clean.

Common Issues With Khasra Numbers in Uttarakhand

A few problems keep showing up once buyers check the Khasra number against everything else.

Deed's Khasra number doesn't match Bhulekh Could be a typo

Could be the seller showing you a different plot entirely.

Fix: Stop, confirm the exact number with the Patwari first.

Number changed after survey or division Khasra numbers support clear transfers, tax assessment, loans and development planning, and may change after division, merger or re-survey

Fix: Ask if the plot was subdivided recently, get the updated number from the Patwari.

Area on record differs from physical measurement Old records sometimes don't match a fresh survey

Fix: Measure the plot, flag any gap before agreeing on price.

Land type doesn't match intended use Khasra shows agricultural, but you want non-agricultural use

Conversion may be required.

Fix: Confirm land type, check conversion rules before committing.

Mixing up Khasra and Khatauni A Khasra identifies a specific plot using a unique number and includes details like size and usage

In contrast, Khatauni is linked to the owner and lists all the land parcels held by a person or family within a village.

Fix: They're not interchangeable. Check both separately.

Bhunaksha map doesn't match Bhulekh Two separate systems, occasionally out of sync on boundaries

Fix: Cross-check both portals for the same Gata number.

Why the Khasra Number Matters for Land Buyers in Uttarakhand

Understanding why this document matters protects your investment.

📋

The anchor for every check Khatauni, deed, map, all point back here

Wrong Khasra means every later check verifies the wrong plot.

⚠

Essential plot ID, no shortcuts Uttarakhand treats this as the essential plot ID

Doesn't match across documents? The rest of the paperwork doesn't mean much.

🏦

Loans need it Banks tie a loan file to the Khasra number

A mismatch stalls things before they even start.

🔍

Uttarakhand-specific, Gata equals Khasra Seller says "Gata," you think "Khasra," same thing

Don't let naming confusion cause hesitation.

Red flag: The Seller gives a Khasra number that doesn't match Bhulekh, or won't let you check the Bhunaksha map for it. Question this before anything else.
