Question 1

What is a survey number in Ladakh?

Accepted Answer

A survey number is the Khasra (plot number) assigned during the cadastral survey. It uniquely identifies a parcel of land in the UT Revenue Department records.

Question 2

Are Ladakh land records online?

Accepted Answer

No. Most Ladakh land records are maintained in paper form by the UT Revenue Department. Online digitization is in progress, but many records are not yet digital. You'll need to visit a Revenue office in person.

Question 3

Where do I find my survey number in Ladakh?

Accepted Answer

Visit your district Land Records office (in Leh or Kargil) or the local Tehsil office. Bring proof of identity and the village name. Staff will search the records and provide you with the Khasra number.

Question 4

Why is digitization slow in Ladakh?

Accepted Answer

Ladakh has sparse population, challenging terrain, and many older land parcels with minimal documentation. The UT is gradually digitizing records, but the process is slower than in more densely populated regions.
