I have an old deed with a survey number. How do I find my land online?

Download your 7/12 from e-Rekha using your name and village. It will show both the old survey number and the resurvey number — use the resurvey number on Ente Bhoomi or e-Rekha to locate the modern record.

What's the difference between e-Rekha and Ente Bhoomi?

Both access the same official records. e-Rekha is document-focused (PDFs, extracts). Ente Bhoomi is map-focused (showing plot boundaries). One login works on both.

It's a village-level register grouping land by owner. If you own multiple parcels in a village, Thandaper shows them all together under your name.

Why are there old and new survey numbers?

Kerala re-surveyed all land decades ago, assigning new numbers. Old deeds use old numbers. Modern records use new numbers. The 7/12 maps both so you can convert.

Are e-Rekha and Ente Bhoomi records free?

Yes. All government land records in Kerala are free. Do not pay brokers or 'consultants' for basic extracts or searches.

Survey Numbers in Kerala

Overview

Kerala's land records use two survey identifiers: the old survey number and the new resurvey number. They correspond 1:1, but if you have an old document, you need the resurvey number to look up modern government records. Both are recorded in your 7/12 (Pattayachi) extract — Kerala's foundational land document.

The 1acre map for Kerala is coming soon. Get notified on WhatsApp when it launches — you'll tap any location and see both the survey number and resurvey number, then cross-check them against e-Rekha or Ente Bhoomi to verify boundaries and ownership.

One plot, many names — what ‘survey number’ means here

Survey Number (Old)

The original parcel identifier from pre-resurvey records. Recorded in older deeds and 7/12 extracts. Often called just 'survey number.'

Resurvey Number (New)

The updated parcel identifier from the resurvey. Used in modern government portals and current 7/12 extracts. Must use this to search e-Rekha or Ente Bhoomi.

7/12 (Pattayachi) Extract

Kerala's record of rights — shows ownership, extent, boundaries, resurvey number, and encumbrances. The legal foundation.

Thandaper Account

Village-level register that groups land by owner. Useful for understanding multiple parcels under one name.

e-Rekha vs Ente Bhoomi

Both portals access the same official records — e-Rekha for documents, Ente Bhoomi for interactive mapping. One search works on both.
