What Is Bhu Naksha UP?

Bhoomi Naksha, popularly known as Bhu Naksha UP, is a digital land mapping system created by the National Informatics Centre (NIC), government of India. The online portal is a part of India’s larger framework. i.e., the Digital India Land Records Modernisation Program (DILRMP), replacement of the old National Land Records Modernisation Program (NLRMP). The state govt authority that oversees its operations in the state is the Department of Revenue and the Department of Land Records and Survey (DLRS), and it functions as per the legal guidelines of the Uttar Pradesh Revenue Code of 2006.

The main aim behind the creation of this online portal is to allow people to keep a check on their lands using the modernised spatial technology created by the authorities. It also complements the Digital India mission, as here, the state government has successfully attempted to run a unified digital portal comprising people’s accurate land-related information in the state of UP.

Who Can Use The Bhu Naksha UP System?

Any citizen of India can use the services provided by the Bhu Naksha UP system, and not just people residing in the state of Uttar Pradesh with land holdings in any of the cities in the state. It can be used by land owners for checking their land-related information, and it can also be used by others for various reasons, like checking land details before buying someone’s land or for verifying someone’s land-related information before loaning them money, and many other such purposes.

How To Match Data In Bhu Naksha With Information In The Bhulekh System?

The Bhu Naksha system and the Bhulekh system are related to land but differ when it comes to their specific functions. And because they are different, everyone is advised to cross-check their respective land-related information stored in both the official records. The process of doing the same is as follows:

Step 1: Please visit the website of UP Bhulekh and note the khasra number of your land from the site.

Step 2: Open another webpage of the Bhu Naksha website and then select the name of the district, tehsil, and village where your land is.

Step 3: With the help of the land’s khasra number, locate your land on the site, after which your land’s map will be visually focused by the portal.

Step 4: Please cross-verify your land’s details from both the official records, such as the owner’s details, area of the land, type of land, boundaries, etc. If you end up finding any errors or mismatches, contact the local office of the Tehsildar or the Lekhpal of your area to correct them.

How To Check Mutation Status Via The Bhunaksha UP Portal?

Mutation of a land simply means that the ownership-related details of a land, especially after its transfer, have been updated in the official govt records. One can check the status of their respective land’s mutation by following the stepwise process described below:

Step 1: Visit the official Bhulekh website and then navigate to the option concerning ‘View Copy of Khatauni (Record of Rights). Enter the name of the district, tehsil, and village where your land is located.

Step 2: The portal will show you your land-related information. The name of the land’s owner may still be old. Please update it with the help of the supporting documents for the transfer of ownership and sale.

Step 3: On another tab, visit the official UP Bhunaksha online website, and enter the required information about the location of your land.

Step 4: Focus on the map of your land and then cross-check the details with the Bhulekh records. The Bhunaksha portal might not show the land’s ownership-related information directly, but it does contain information concerning ownership and boundaries of the land with the help of the revenue records.

Note that if the old details are still being shown on both portals, the mutation status of your land is still unsuccessful. Contact the local office of the Tehsildar or the Lekhpal of your area on an urgent basis and request them to help you in correcting these details to avoid any issues and discrepancies in the future.

How To Check Land Encroachment Via The Bhunaksha UP Portal?

One of the functions of the Bhunaksha UP portal is to help people keep an eye on their lands, meaning they can see and detect if any unauthorised person is trying to illegally capture their land for personal use. The process of detection via the online website of Bhu Naksha is as follows:

Step 1: Please visit the official website of the Bhunaksha UP portal and then select the name of the district, tehsil, and village where your land is.

Step 2: The portal will show you the village’s map. Navigate to your land’s map using unique information like its khasra number.

Step 3: Landowners have to see the boundaries of their land using the ‘zoom’ feature. Land encroachment can be detected if buildings are shown as crossing over the lines, the plot area looks smaller than before, or if your land boundaries are getting mixed with neighbouring plots.

Step 4: Landowners can easily use the measurement tools available in the portal to measure the width and length of their respective lands. Cross-check the land measurements with the measurements mentioned in the bhulekh records, and if you find any differences, there are high chances of some unauthorised person trying to encroach on your land.

Take a screenshot of your findings and report them to the local office of the Tehsildar. Request a physical site verification from the Lekhpal of your area, and apply for physical boundary demarcation (Napi) to confirm that someone is illegally using your land.
