Question 1

What is the Jamabandi?

Accepted Answer

It's Punjab's annual revenue register. It records who owns which Khasra (field) in a village for that year. It's updated yearly and is the source for Tatima (ownership certificates).

Question 2

How do I find my Khasra number?

Accepted Answer

If you have a deed or property document, the Khasra number is usually written on it. Or, search the PLRS Jamabandi portal by village name and your name — it will show all Khasra numbers you own.

Question 3

What is Khewat?

Accepted Answer

It's a family/owner group number. If you own multiple Khasra numbers in one village, they share the same Khewat. It helps cross-check that all your land is accounted for.

Question 4

Is the Tatima proof of ownership?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Tatima is your official ownership certificate for a Khasra in that revenue year. It's extracted from the Jamabandi and signed by the revenue department.

Question 5

Are PLRS records free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All Jamabandi, Khasra maps, and Tatima records are free from PLRS (jamabandi.punjab.gov.in). Do not pay middlemen for extracts.
