MeeBhoomi Adangal in Andhra Pradesh: Meaning & Online Guide
Anurag Sodani • June 29, 2026
If you own agricultural land or are buying property in Andhra Pradesh, two documents will come up in almost every transaction — the MeeBhoomi Adangal Andhra Pradesh extract and the RoR 1B. Together, they form the core of the state’s land record system. The Andhra Pradesh government has digitised both through the MeeBhoomi portal, making it possible for landowners and buyers to access, verify, and download land records without visiting a revenue office. This guide explains what Adangal is, what it contains, how to download it, and why it matters for property buyers and home loan applicants.
What is Adangal?
Adangal (also written as Adangala or Pahani) is a village-level land record maintained by the Village Revenue Officer (VRO) in Andhra Pradesh. It is the agricultural land register for a specific village, recording details about each plot — what is cultivated, who cultivates it, the nature of possession, and the land use.
The word “Adangal” comes from Telugu and broadly means “containing” or “encompassing” — it is the document that contains all land details for a survey number.
What an Adangal contains:
- Survey number of the plot
- Name of the Pattadar (owner / title holder)
- Name of the cultivator (if different from owner)
- Extent (area) of the land in acres or hectares
- Land classification — wet (nanja), dry (punja), garden (tota)
- Type of irrigation (canal, tank, well, rain-fed)
- Nature of possession — owned, tenanted, mortgaged, government
- Crop details recorded during Pahani (seasonal field inspection)
- Any encumbrances, disputes or government rights
Adangal is updated seasonally (Kharif and Rabi seasons) by the VRO based on field inspections called Pahani. This is why Adangal is also called Pahani in everyday usage in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
What is Adangal in Tamil Nadu?
While Adangal in Andhra Pradesh is the agricultural land register (equivalent to the 7/12 crop section in Maharashtra), Adangal in Tamil Nadu refers to the same type of village-level record — specifically Village Account No. 2 — that records crop cultivation and land use details for each survey number. Tamil Nadu’s Adangal is accessed through the eServices TN portal and is viewed alongside the Patta record.
The term is used in both states but the portal systems differ — in AP it is MeeBhoomi; in Tamil Nadu it is eServices TN.
What is MeeBhoomi?
MeeBhoomi (meaning “My Land” in Telugu) is the official land records portal of the Government of Andhra Pradesh. It is maintained by the AP Revenue Department and provides online access to:
- Adangal (village land register / Pahani)
- RoR 1B (Record of Rights — ownership record)
- Mutation status
- Encumbrance Certificate (EC)
- Pattadar Passbook details
- Land conversion records
- Prohibited properties list
MeeBhoomi covers all 13 districts of Andhra Pradesh and provides records for both agricultural and non-agricultural parcels. It is one of India’s earlier and more comprehensive state land record portals, launched in the early 2000s and continuously updated since.
Visit the portal at meebhoomi.ap.gov.in for all land record services.
What is the Difference Between Adangal and RoR 1B?
This is the most common question among AP land record users.
| Feature | Adangal (Pahani) | RoR 1B |
|---|---|---|
| Full name | Village Adangal / Pahani | Record of Rights — Form 1B |
| What it records | Land use, crop, cultivation details | Ownership details (title) |
| Maintained by | Village Revenue Officer (VRO) | Revenue Department / MeeBhoomi |
| Updated | Seasonally (Kharif + Rabi) | After each mutation / transfer |
| Primary use | Agricultural verification, crop loans | Title verification, home loans, property purchase |
| Contains owner name? | Yes (Pattadar name) | Yes (primary ownership record) |
| Contains crop details? | Yes | No |
In simple terms: Adangal tells you what is happening on the land (crop, cultivation, use). RoR 1B tells you who legally owns the land. Both together give a complete picture of a property.
How to Check Adangal in AP Online — Step-by-Step
- Visit meebhoomi.ap.gov.in
- Click on “Adangal” from the top menu
- Select your search type:
- By Aadhaar number — linked Aadhaar fetches all land records
- By Account number (Khata number)
- By Survey number
- Select District → Zone → Mandal → Village
- Enter the relevant number in the search field
- Click “Get Details”
- The Adangal extract appears showing all survey numbers, owner names, crop details, and encumbrances
How to Download Adangal Copy from MeeBhoomi
After the Adangal appears on screen:
- Scroll to the bottom of the extract
- Click “Print” — a print-friendly version of the Adangal appears
- Use your browser’s Print → Save as PDF to download
- Alternatively, MeeBhoomi offers a “Download” button on the record page for direct PDF save
Certified copy: For home loans, court proceedings, or formal legal purposes, a certified Adangal copy from the MRO (Mandal Revenue Office) or VRO carries higher legal weight than a self-downloaded extract. Most lenders accept the online MeeBhoomi extract for preliminary verification but may request a certified copy for final disbursement.
How to Check Land Owner Name via MeeBhoomi Adangal
To find the owner of a specific plot:
- Visit meebhoomi.ap.gov.in
- Select “Adangal” or “RoR 1B”
- Search by survey number for the specific district, mandal, and village
- The Pattadar (owner) name appears in the Adangal extract
- Cross-verify with the RoR 1B for the full ownership title record
If the Pattadar name in the Adangal differs from the person selling the land, mutation may be pending or the documents may be inaccurate — both situations require resolution before any transaction or loan.
Adangal and Home Loans in Andhra Pradesh
When you apply for a home loan or a loan against property in Andhra Pradesh, lenders require both the Adangal and the RoR 1B as part of property verification. Here is what lenders look for in the Adangal:
- Land classification: Wet, dry, or garden land determines suitability for the loan purpose. Agricultural land requires conversion before it can secure a home loan.
- Encumbrances: Any existing mortgage, tenancy, or government claim in the Adangal is a red flag for lenders.
- Possession status: The Adangal confirms whether the seller is in actual possession or someone else is cultivating or occupying the land.
- Crop and use consistency: Lenders compare Adangal details with the approved building plan for construction loans to ensure the land use matches the stated purpose.
Before applying, verify that the Adangal shows the correct Pattadar name, no encumbrances, and appropriate land classification. Use a home loan eligibility calculator to understand your borrowing capacity while conducting this verification.
