How do I find the survey number of my land in Karnataka?

On the 1acre map, search your village or drop a pin on the plot — the boundary and survey number appear. Or, on Bhoomi (landrecords.karnataka.gov.in) open the RTC / Pahani and search by survey and Hissa number.

Is the RTC the same as the Pahani?

Yes — RTC (Record of Rights, Tenancy & Crops) and Pahani are two names for the same document.

How do I find a survey number by GPS?

The government's Dishaank app shows the survey-number boundary from your current location. The 1acre map does the same by search or pin, on any device.

How do I find land records by owner name?

Bhoomi's RTC search is primarily by survey/Hissa number; to locate a plot visually, use the 1acre map, then read the RTC for the owner name.

How do I download the RTC / Pahani for free?

The view copy is free on Bhoomi. A digitally-signed, legally usable copy is available on Bhoomi or at a Nada Kacheri centre.

Is the online RTC legally valid?

The free view copy is for reference. Use the digitally-signed RTC for registration, a loan or court.

Karnataka Survey Number Map: RTC (Pahani), Bhoomi & Dishaank

Overview

In Karnataka, a plot's survey number lives in the RTC (Pahani) on the Bhoomi portal, and the Dishaank app maps it by GPS. Zoom to your land on the map above and its survey-number boundary appears — you don't need to know the number to start.

Below: what the survey number is actually called in Karnataka, which official portal to use for what, and how to find any plot's number by location.

One plot, many names — which one is the ‘survey number’?

Survey Number (ಸರ್ವೆ ನಂಬರ್)

The unique ID for a parcel. A Hissa number identifies a share/sub-division of it.

RTC / Pahani (ಪಹಣಿ)

Record of Rights, Tenancy & Crops — the core land record with survey number, owner, extent and crop. RTC and Pahani are two names for the same document.

Bhoomi

The government portal that issues the RTC / Pahani.

Dishaank

The Survey Settlement & Land Records (SSLR) GPS app that shows a survey-number boundary from where you stand.

Mojini / Tippani / FMB

The survey sketch and field measurement for a survey number.

Mutation (MR)

The record of an ownership change against a survey number.

Which record, which portal — for what

The one thing the government portal can't do

Bhoomi asks for the survey number, owner name or account before it shows you anything. 1acre works the other way round: start from the land. Search a village or drop a pin on the plot and the survey-number boundary appears on the map. Then take that number to the official portal for the certified record. Map-first is the search a land buyer actually needs — and no state portal offers it.
