Bhu Bharathi (భూ భారతి) is Telangana's modern digital land records management system launched by the state's Revenue Department. This portal serves as the official successor to the Dharani portal, operating under the Telangana Bhu Bharathi (Record of Rights in Land) Act, 2025. The platform provides comprehensive land-related services through a single integrated interface, making land administration more transparent, efficient, and accessible to citizens across Telangana.
The Bhu Bharathi Portal (bhubharati.telangana.gov.in) is the official Integrated Land Records Management System (ILRMS) of the Telangana State Government. Developed by the Telangana Revenue Department, the system's primary objective is to enhance governance, transparency, and efficiency in managing all land-related information, directly impacting public welfare.
The launch of the Bhu Bharathi Telangana system marks a strategic policy shift, replacing the centralized Dharani portal to simplify land administration. By consolidating services into fewer, streamlined modules (only about six, compared to 33 previously) and assigning authority back to local Revenue officials (Tahsildars and RDOs), Bhu Bharathi ensures faster and more reliable access to land records for millions of farmers and landowners. This Bhu Bharathi Website serves as a digital hub where citizens can easily check ownership rights, execute transactions, and obtain crucial documents.
Key Benefits of Bhu Bharathi for Citizens:
Accessing your Bhu Bharathi Land Details and land records is a straightforward process available on the official portal, eliminating the need for physical visits to government offices.
To check the land status using traditional identifiers, follow these steps:
The 1-B Record of Rights (ROR) is a crucial document confirming land ownership. The Bhu Bharathi Portal Land Details search allows you to easily view and download these documents.
Document | Search Method | Action |
---|---|---|
Record of Rights (ROR or 1-B) | Search using Pattadar Passbook Number or the First four digits of your Aadhaar number. | After the land details appear, click the “ROR” link to view or download the 1-B record. |
Pattadar Passbook (PPB) & Title Deed | Search using Pattadar Passbook Number or the First four digits of your Aadhaar number. | After details appear, click the “Pattadar Passbook” link to download the digital passbook and title deed. |
The Bhu Bharathi Portal provides a two-tiered suite of services for land administration and public access: Transactional and Informational.
These services require citizen registration and login, enabling the execution of changes to land records.

To fully utilize the Bhu Bharathi Portal and ensure secure land transactions, understanding the required legal deadlines and application workflows is critical.
Transactional services (Mutation, NALA, etc.) require you to first register and log in to the Bhu Bharathi Website.
Many critical applications, such as General Mutation and Passbook Data Correction, require mandatory eKYC (Electronic Know Your Customer). This verification is often performed at the Meeseva or Bhu Bharati platform and ensures secure identity verification before the application is processed by the department.
Similarly, specific applications like Succession or NALA without Passbook require Slot Booking before departmental processing, which is Step 4 or Step 6 in the respective workflows.
If you are a person aggrieved by an incorrect entry in the Record of Rights (ROR) or if your details were omitted, you must apply for rectification through the Bhu Bharathi Portal Land Details section.
Crucial Deadline: The application must be made within a strict period of one year from the date of commencement of the Act (April 14, 2025) or from the date the wrong entry was placed in the Bhu Bharati Portal.
The Bhu Bharathi Telangana initiative is paving the way for a more robust land system. The government plans to introduce the Bhudaar system, a unique land identification number analogous to Aadhaar, designed to ensure permanent rights and enhance security over land parcels.
This integrated system is a fundamental step toward guaranteeing citizens' land rights, simplifying transactional workflows, and maximizing transparency, making the Bhu Bharathi Portal a vital resource for all landowners and investors in the state.
For assistance or inquiries regarding the Bhu Bharathi Portal, you can contact the official help desk:
Bhu Bharathi focuses on land record access and information services, while Dharani is the comprehensive land transaction portal. Both are part of Telangana's integrated land management ecosystem.
Land record accuracy depends on regular updates from revenue departments. The portal displays real-time data from government databases, but users should verify critical information with local revenue offices.
Non-Resident Indians can access information services but may require additional verification for transactional services. Contact the Telangana Revenue Department for NRI-specific procedures.
Missing property records may indicate outdated surveys or recent acquisitions. Contact your local village revenue officer or district collector's office for assistance.
Information services are generally free, while transactional services may involve government fees. Check the official fee structure on the portal or contact revenue offices.
