Bihar Bhumi is the official government portal for land records in Bihar — and if you own land there, this is one of the most useful websites you’ll ever visit.
Most people in Bihar still don’t know Bihar Bhumi exists.
They hire agents. They stand in long queues. They pay money they don’t need to spend. All just to find basic information about land that is legally theirs.
Bihar Bhumi makes that whole process simple. From your phone. For free.
This guide covers everything — what Bihar Bhumi is, how it works, how to use it step by step, and why it matters for every landowner in the state.
🏛️What Is Bihar Bhumi?
Bihar Bhumi is a digital land records platform launched by the Government of Bihar.
The full name is Bihar Bhumi — managed under the Revenue and Land Reforms Department of Bihar.
The Bihar Bhumi portal is found at biharbhumi.bihar.gov.in. It is free to use. Anyone can access it. You don’t need to register or create an account for most features.
Before Bihar Bhumi existed, getting land record information meant going to a government office in person. That could take days. It cost money. It was frustrating. Bihar Bhumi changed all of that.
💡 Bihar Bhumi lets you view land ownership records, check Jamabandi, see plot maps, and much more — all from one place, at no cost.

- Check plot/khata numbers — Find the unique numbers associated with land in Bihar

To use it, go to the Bihar Bhumi website and look for the Bhunaksha link. Select your district, sub-division, circle, and Mauza. Then enter the plot number. Bihar Bhumi will show you the plot highlighted on a map.
This is very useful when you want to understand exactly where a piece of land sits — especially if you’re buying or selling land in Bihar.
📝Bihar Bhumi and Land Mutation — What You Should Know
When land changes hands in Bihar — through sale, inheritance, or gift — the official records need to be updated. This process is called mutation or Dakhil Kharij.
Bihar Bhumi has a dedicated section for mutation. You can check the current status of a mutation application directly on the Bihar Bhumi portal.
Just go to the Bihar Bhumi website, find the Online Dakhil Kharij section, and enter your district and application number. Bihar Bhumi will show you where the application currently stands.
If you want to apply for mutation online, Bihar Bhumi connects you to the RTPS (Right to Public Services) portal where you can submit the application digitally.
💡 Tracking your mutation status on Bihar Bhumi saves you from unnecessary trips to the tehsil office and keeps you informed at every step.
🔒Is Bihar Bhumi Safe and Official?
Yes. Bihar Bhumi is a government portal run by the Revenue and Land Reforms Department of Bihar.
The Bihar Bhumi website address is biharbhumi.bihar.gov.in. Make sure you always use this exact URL. There are copycat websites that look like Bihar Bhumi but are not official.
Always check that the Bihar Bhumi site URL ends in .gov.in. That is the domain used by official Government of India and state government websites.
Your data is not at risk when you use Bihar Bhumi to look up publicly available land records. The portal does not ask for your Aadhaar, bank details, or any sensitive personal information to view land records.
⚠️Common Problems on Bihar Bhumi (And How to Fix Them)
Bihar Bhumi is useful, but it can sometimes be slow or confusing. Here are the most common issues and what to do.
The Bihar Bhumi site is loading slowly
Government portals like Bihar Bhumi often get heavy traffic. Try early in the morning or late at night when fewer people are using it.
You can’t find your land on Bihar Bhumi
Double-check the spelling of the Mauza name. In Bihar Bhumi, village and area names are often spelled in a specific way that may differ from common usage. Try searching by Khata or Khesra number instead of the name.
The name on Bihar Bhumi is wrong
If you find an error in the name or ownership details on Bihar Bhumi, you will need to contact the local Circle Officer or Revenue Officer. Bihar Bhumi shows records as they are in the government database — corrections must be made through official channels.
Bihar Bhumi shows old ownership details
Bihar Bhumi records update after mutation (Dakhil Kharij) is completed. If ownership recently changed, the Bihar Bhumi portal may not reflect the new owner yet. Check the mutation status to see if the update is still in process.
💼Why Bihar Bhumi Matters for Buyers and Sellers
If you’re planning to buy land in Bihar, Bihar Bhumi is the first thing you should check.
Before any money changes hands, use Bihar Bhumi to verify:
— Who officially owns the land — The exact size and location of the plot — Whether there are any disputes or multiple claimants — Whether the Khesra and Khata numbers match what the seller has told you
Bihar Bhumi won’t tell you everything — for example, it doesn’t show bank encumbrances or court cases. But it gives you a solid starting point.
Sellers can also use Bihar Bhumi to make the transaction smoother. Showing a buyer the current land records on Bihar Bhumi builds trust and speeds up the process.
📱Can You Use Bihar Bhumi on Your Phone?
Yes. The Bihar Bhumi website works on smartphones.
You can open biharbhumi.bihar.gov.in in any mobile browser — Chrome, Firefox, or the default browser on your phone. Bihar Bhumi is not always perfectly optimized for small screens, but all the main features work.
There are also third-party apps that claim to help you use Bihar Bhumi, but it is safer to use the official website directly rather than downloading unofficial apps.
