Khasra Khatauni – Uttar Pradesh

Primary land ownership & classification record

Overview

Khasra and Khatauni are the core land records maintained by the Revenue Department, Government of Uttar Pradesh. For any land purchase in UP—especially agricultural land, plots converted from agriculture, village-level parcels, shared ancestral land, or peri-urban areas—the Khasra and Khatauni entries are the primary proof of land classification, possession, cultivation, and recorded ownership. Buyers, advocates, and lenders in UP depend on these records to confirm: • who the land is officially recorded under • whether the area, gata/khasra details and category match the Sale Deed • whether the land has joint ownership, disputes, or multiple co-sharers • whether the land is agricultural, abadi, banjar, or restricted class land Landeed helps users match these details with other UP records (Sale Deed, Girdawari, Bhunaksha) to detect inconsistencies before entering a risky transaction.

FAQs

Why is Khasra Khatauni essential when buying land in Uttar Pradesh?

Because it confirms the recorded ownership, type of land, gata/khasra details, and co-sharer information, which are critical for preventing sale by non-owners, avoiding restricted-class land, and ensuring the property matches what the seller is claiming.

What key details should I verify in the Khasra Khatauni?

Check:

recorded owner names
gata/khasra numbers and area
land category: agricultural, abadi, pasture, banjar, etc.
joint ownership or shared holdings
cultivation status (often cross-checked with Girdawari)
mismatches compared to the Sale Deed or Bhunaksha map

Any mismatch here is a major red flag during purchase.

How does Khasra Khatauni help detect disputes or shared ownership?

UP land often has multiple co-sharers, ancestral rights, or undivided parcels.

Khasra Khatauni reveals if:

the seller is only a fractional owner
other co-owners exist
the land is part of an ongoing dispute or shared holding
possession or cultivation differs from what is claimed

Does the name in the Sale Deed automatically appear in Khatauni?

Not always. Mutation may be pending or delayed. This is why buyers cross-check both records—Sale Deed for transaction, Khatauni for revenue-recorded ownership—to confirm consistency.

Who maintains Khasra Khatauni in Uttar Pradesh?

The Revenue Department through the Tehsil and village-level revenue offices (Lekhpal & Kanoongo hierarchy) maintain these records.
