Apna Khata

In today's digital age, the Rajasthan government has made it incredibly simple for landowners and farmers to access their property details from the comfort of their homes. The Apna Khata portal (also known as e-Dharti) serves as the official land records management system of Rajasthan.

Whether you need to check your land ownership or apply for a name transfer, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know.

What is Apna Khata Rajasthan?

Apna Khata is an online initiative by the Revenue Department of Rajasthan to digitize land records. Think of it as a "digital locker" for your land documents. Instead of making multiple trips to the Tehsil office and waiting in long queues, you can now access "Jamabandi" (Record of Rights) and other documents with just a few clicks.

Services available on Apna Khata

The portal offers a variety of services for farmers, buyers, and landowners:

• Jamabandi Nakal (Record of Rights): The most popular service. It allows you to view and download your land ownership records.
• Mutation (Namaantar) Application: You can apply for a name transfer online if you have bought land, inherited property, or received it as a gift.
• Mutation Status Tracking: Track whether your name transfer request is pending, approved, or rejected.
• Bhunaksha (Land Maps): View and download digitized maps of your plot to see exact boundaries.
• Girdawari Records: Check the details of crops grown on a particular piece of land during a specific season.
• Revenue Court Status: Check the status of ongoing legal cases related to your land.
• E-Signed Documents: For a small fee, you can download "Authorized Copies" that are legally valid for bank loans and court use.

Features of Apna Khata Rajasthan

• Map-Based Interface: The portal features an interactive map of Rajasthan. Users can simply click on their district to dive deeper into tehsil and village records, making it intuitive even for those not tech-savvy.

• Mobile Accessibility: The portal is optimized for mobile browsers and has a dedicated Android application, allowing farmers to check records directly from their fields.
• Historical Records: While the portal focuses on current records, users can access digital records dating back several years (typically up to 1920) to check land history.
• Grievance Redressal: A built-in system to report errors in Land Records or delays in mutation processing directly to the revenue department.
• Integration with Bhunaksha: It works in tandem with the Bhu Naksha portal, allowing you to cross-verify the written record (Jamabandi) with the physical map of the plot.
