WEST BENGAL LAND RECORDS PORTAL

Banglarbhumi 2026: Complete Guide to West Bengal Land Records, Khatian, Plot Information & Mutation Online

Query Search for Older Applications

If you already have a query number from an earlier application, the Query Search option helps track that request by combining the query number with the relevant year.

Every plot number is unique to a single parcel of land, making it one of the most important identifiers in the entire land records system.

✅ Confirms the current owner

✅ Helps settle boundary disputes

✅ Prevents duplicate land claims

✅ Referenced in registration and court filings

⚠️ Before buying property, always match the plot number mentioned on the sale deed with the Banglarbhumi portal record. It is one of the easiest fraud checks available.
