FAQs
Why should I check the Khasra Girdawari when buying land in UP?
Because it helps you verify that the land is correctly recorded for cultivation or occupancy, the name of the cultivator/occupant matches the seller's claim, and that the land is not mis-classified or illegally transferred without plantation/occupancy records.
What details does Khasra Girdawari capture for a parcel in Uttar Pradesh?
It shows:
- survey/gata/khasra number
- name of occupant or cultivator
- category of land (agricultural/abadi/pasture)
- crop or fallow status
- area under cultivation
- any revenue/occupancy link
Is Khasra Girdawari alone enough to confirm ownership?
No. Khasra Girdawari shows occupancy/cultivation status but does not by itself prove legal ownership or title. Buyers still need to check registered Sale Deeds, Khatauni, Encumbrance Certificates and other records to ensure full title clarity.
Can Khasra Girdawari help detect hidden risks or disputes?
Yes. If the cultivated occupant named in the Girdawari differs from the seller, or if the land is recorded as fallow but claimed otherwise, or if category mismatches the deed, these are red flags indicating possible disputes, illegal transfer or revenue irregularities.
Who maintains the Khasra Girdawari records in Uttar Pradesh?
The records are maintained by the Revenue Department of Uttar Pradesh, at the tehsil/village level through the Lekhpal or relevant revenue official's office.
