What identifies a property in urban Chandigarh?

Urban Chandigarh properties are identified by sector and plot number (e.g., Sector 22, Plot 150), not traditional survey numbers. The Chandigarh Estate Office maintains the official records.

What is a Khasra number in Chandigarh's rural areas?

Khasra is the field or plot number in rural Chandigarh, assigned during the cadastral survey. It's used in the UT Revenue Department records, similar to Punjab and Haryana systems.

How do I verify ownership in Chandigarh?

In urban areas, request mutation documents and Estate Office records. In rural areas, obtain Khasra and Jamabandi from the Tehsil office. Both show registered ownership.

Do urban and rural properties use the same system?

No. Urban Chandigarh uses Estate Office records and plot numbers; rural periphery uses traditional Khasra and Jamabandi records. The relevant system depends on your property location.

Survey Numbers in Chandigarh

Overview

Chandigarh's land system is split between urban planned areas (managed by the Chandigarh Estate Office) and rural periphery villages (under Khasra/Jamabandi records). In urban Chandigarh, plots are typically identified by sector and plot number rather than traditional survey numbers. In rural areas, the system mirrors Punjab and Haryana, using Khasra (field number) and Jamabandi (occupancy register).

For property transactions, the relevant document depends on location: urban properties use Estate Office records and mutation documents, while rural land uses traditional Khasra and Jamabandi. 1acre is building map-based search for Chandigarh—coming soon.
