What is Dag Number in West Bengal?

Definition

A Dag number is the unique plot identifier assigned to each land parcel inside a Mouza under the West Bengal land record system. It is recorded in the Khatian and is the basic Dag plot identifier used by the Land and Land Reforms Department for every revenue action.

Each revenue village (Mouza) has its own Dag series. Two villages may both have a Dag 142, but they refer to different plots. So Dag never travels alone. It always sits with a District, Block, Mouza and JL number on Banglarbhumi. Without that full address, the Dag is meaningless.

There are two layers of Dag in use today. Sabek Dag came from the older Revisional Survey of the 1950s and 1960s. Hal Dag is the current number under the LR records. Old deeds quote Sabek; current Khatians quote Hal. If your seller's deed and Banglarbhumi do not align, the plot number Banglarbhumi shows must be reconciled before money moves. Skip this and your mutation file will sit at the BL&LRO for months.

State-specific note: Every land parcel in West Bengal carries a Dag number, and every revenue task (mutation, conversion, khajna, land conversion) needs it. If the seller cannot quote the Dag, walk away.

What Does the Dag Record Contain in West Bengal?

Each Dag entry on Banglarbhumi carries a fixed set of fields the buyer must read against the seller's deed.

Field	What it means	What to check
District, Block, Mouza, JL Number	Full revenue address of the plot	Match every field with the deed; one wrong Mouza means a different plot
Dag (Plot) Number	Unique plot identifier inside the Mouza	Match Hal Dag to the current LR Khatian and the deed schedule
Khatian Number	The record of rights linked to this Dag	Confirm the seller's name appears in this exact Khatian
Owner Name and Share	Recorded raiyat and fractional right	Watch for co-owners; one seller cannot transfer the whole share
Class of Land	Sali, Bastu, Danga, Bagan, and similar	Class change without conversion is illegal
Total Area	Quantum of land in decimal or katha	Tally with site measurement and the Khatian
Status Code	CC for court case, vested, Barga	Any flag here is a red flag

Good sign: A clean Dag entry shows one matching Khatian, the seller as recorded raiyat, the same area as the deed, no court case flag, and a clean class of land entry.

Common Issues With Dag Number in West Bengal

Each Dag entry on Banglarbhumi carries a fixed set of fields the buyer must read against the seller's deed.

Sabek and Hal Dag confusion

The deed quotes a Sabek Dag, but Banglarbhumi only shows Hal Dags.

Fix: Use Citizen Services and RS-LR Information to map the old Dag to the current LR plot before signing.

Dag splits into multiple Hal Dags

A single Sabek Dag splits into three or four Hal Dags after subdivision.

Fix: List every Hal Dag and confirm the seller has rights only in the share you are buying, not the others.

CC (Court Case) flag on the Dag

Banglarbhumi shows a CC code against the Dag. There is active litigation.

Fix: Walk away unless the seller produces a certified court order clearing the property.

Dag area mismatch with deed

The Dag shows 8 decimals on Banglarbhumi; the deed claims 12 decimals. Resale rights are doubtful for the extra area.

Fix: Demand a fresh BL&LRO measurement and a Dag correction order before purchase.

Different Mouza, same Dag

Two Mouzas have a plot with the same number. The seller may show you the wrong Mouza.

Fix: Always verify District, Block and Mouza JL number on the portal, not the Dag alone.

Dag not showing on Banglarbhumi

The system returns no record. Often a wrong Mouza pick.

Fix: Re-check the Mouza JL number; if still missing, raise a Public Grievance on the portal.

Why Dag Number Matters for Land Buyers in West Bengal

The Dag is the address that ties every other record together; without it, no document means anything.

🔍

West Bengal-specific dual Dag system West Bengal land verification is unique: buyers must read both Sabek and Hal Dag on Banglarbhumi
