What is a survey number?

A unique identifier assigned to a plot during the cadastral survey — a government process that measures and maps all land parcels. It helps identify your exact plot in revenue records.

Where do I find the survey number?

In Arunachal Pradesh, survey numbers are recorded in the Land Revenue office at block or district level. They may also appear on your deed or land record documents. Online access is very limited — visit the office in person.

What if my land is customary or tribal?

Much land in Arunachal Pradesh is held under community or tribal ownership. If your land is unregistered or customary, the village headman or local authority maintains recognition. Formal survey records may not exist.

Can I look up land records online?

Online land records portals are not widely available across Arunachal Pradesh. Contact the District Land Revenue office or Deputy Commissioner's office directly for record searches.

Survey Numbers in Arunachal Pradesh

Overview

Land in Arunachal Pradesh is largely held by communities and individuals under tribal law and customary ownership. Most land is not surveyed in the conventional cadastral sense, and formal plot identification relies on local records maintained by the settlement office or Deputy Commissioner's office rather than online portals.
