Apna Khata Rajasthan: How to Check Land Records Online
Anurag Sodani • June 29, 2026
Rajasthan is one of India’s earliest states to digitise land records and make them publicly accessible. The Apna Khata Rajasthan land records portal — available at apnakhata.rajasthan.gov.in — allows any citizen to view Jamabandi details, download Nakal copies, check land ownership, and verify property records online without visiting a Patwari or revenue office. Whether you are a landowner, a property buyer, or a lender conducting due diligence, this guide explains exactly how to use it.
What is Apna Khata?
Apna Khata (literally “my account” in Hindi) is Rajasthan’s official online land records portal, launched by the Revenue Department under the state’s Digital India initiative. It serves as the single access point for:
- Jamabandi (Record of Rights) — the primary land ownership document
- Nakal (certified and non-certified copies of land records)
- Khasra details (plot-level land information)
- Khata details (account-level ownership information)
- Mutation (Naamantaran) status
- E-Dharti (integrated land and revenue records)
The portal makes Rajasthan one of the most accessible states for online land record verification. As of 2025–26, it covers all 33 districts and thousands of villages across the state.
What is Jamabandi in Rajasthan?
In Rajasthan, Jamabandi is the official Record of Rights — the document that records who owns a specific piece of land, what its classification is, and what rights or encumbrances are attached to it. It is the Rajasthani equivalent of the 7/12 in Maharashtra or the Khatauni in Uttar Pradesh.
A Rajasthan Jamabandi records:
- Khata number and Khatedar (owner) name
- Khasra numbers and sub-division details
- Total area and land classification (agricultural / barren / residential)
- Irrigation source and crop details
- Tenancy and mortgage details (if any)
- Government land rights (if any portion is government-owned)
Jamabandi is updated every five years in Rajasthan through a formal settlement process, though mutations are recorded between settlement cycles as and when transactions occur.

How to Check Mutation Status on Apna Khata
Mutation (called Naamantaran in Rajasthan) is the process of updating the owner’s name in land records after a sale, inheritance, or gift. The Apna Khata portal tracks mutation status online.
To check mutation status:
- Visit apnakhata.rajasthan.gov.in
- Select “Mutation Status” from the menu
- Choose district, tehsil, and village
- Enter your mutation application number or Khata number
- The current status — pending / under review / approved / rejected — appears on screen
To apply for mutation online:
Rajasthan processes online mutation applications through the E-Dharti portal, which is integrated with the Apna Khata system. Upload your registered sale deed, ID proof, and relevant documents, pay the nominal fee, and track progress through the portal.
Using Rajasthan Land Records for Property Verification
Before buying property in Rajasthan, a thorough land records check through Apna Khata protects you from several risks:
Verifying seller ownership:
Pull the current Jamabandi Nakal using the owner’s name or Khata number. The seller’s name must match the current Khatedar entry. If it does not, mutation may be pending — get it completed before closing the transaction.
Checking encumbrances:
The Jamabandi records any existing mortgage (Rehn) or tenancy rights on the land. Always verify these entries carefully — a mortgaged plot cannot transfer cleanly until the loan is discharged.
Verifying land classification:
Agricultural land (classified as “Krishi Bhoomi” in the Jamabandi) cannot be used for residential construction without obtaining land use conversion (CLU) approval from the state government. Verify this before signing any purchase agreement.
Cross-checking with Encumbrance Certificate:
While Jamabandi records revenue-level ownership, the Encumbrance Certificate from the sub-registrar confirms all registered transactions (sales, mortgages). Use both together for complete verification.
Apna Khata and Home Loans in Rajasthan
When you apply for a home loan on property in Rajasthan, the lender’s legal team uses Apna Khata Jamabandi records as part of their title verification process. Specifically, they look for:
- Current owner’s name matching the applicant or seller
- Clean mutation records going back 30+ years
- Land classification confirming the plot is suitable for the loan purpose
- Absence of mortgage entries in the Jamabandi
A property with a clean, updated Jamabandi — showing the correct owner, no encumbrances, and a complete mutation chain — moves through legal verification significantly faster.
Estimate your monthly repayments upfront using a home loan EMI calculator, and ensure your property’s Jamabandi is clean before submitting the loan application.
