The khatauni is the record of rights for land in Uttar Pradesh. It shows which account in a revenue village belongs to whom, which khasra or plot numbers are included and their area. It is one of the most important documents for buying land, taking an agricultural loan, applying for farmer schemes or proving one’s share in a dispute. The state’s revenue department has made it available online at upbhulekh.gov.in.
According to the district administration’s list, Sultanpur has five tehsils: Sadar, Jaisinghpur, Lambhua, Kadipur and Baldirai. To view a khatauni, you first select your tehsil and then the correct revenue village, so it helps to know which tehsil your village falls in.
Steps to view the khatauni
Open upbhulekh.gov.in. The home page has an option to view a copy of the khatauni, or record of rights. After clicking it, enter the security code. Select Sultanpur from the list of districts, then your tehsil. The next list shows villages, with names in Hindi, and there is usually an option to type the first letter to narrow the list.
After choosing the village, you get three main search options: by khasra or plot number, by account number, or by the account holder’s name. Pick whichever detail you know. When searching by name, spelling differences can stop results from appearing, so it is better to type the first few letters and choose from the list. Proceeding with the right option displays the khatauni copy on screen.
What the khatauni shows
The record includes the account number, names of the holder or co holders, the father’s or husband’s name, residence, plot numbers, the area of each plot and the land category. It also notes mutation orders. If a bank loan is recorded against the land, that may be indicated too. After any change, it can take some time for the new entry to appear.
Online copy versus certified copy
The copy shown on the portal is for information. Courts, banks and government processes often ask for a certified copy, which can be obtained from a Jan Seva Kendra or the tehsil on payment of the prescribed fee. Ask the concerned office in advance which kind of copy they need.
If you find an error
Errors such as wrong spelling, wrong area or a missing name after inheritance are corrected at the tehsil level. Uttar Pradesh also offers online applications for recording inheritance. After an application, the lekhpal verifies the facts and a revenue officer passes an order. Use the official portal, a Jan Seva Kendra or the tehsil office rather than paying a middleman.
Before buying land, always check the khatauni and match the seller’s name, share and plot number with the sale documents. Where there are co holders, consider whether all of them need to agree. If in doubt, get a certified copy from the tehsil and seek advice from someone knowledgeable.
Keep in mind that the khatauni shows rights as recorded; it does not by itself settle boundary questions on the ground. For physical boundaries, measurement by the revenue team on application is the proper route, and the map records maintained by the revenue department are used for that purpose.
You can print or save the online copy for reference, but check the portal again from time to time, because the record changes after mutation or inheritance orders and an old printout will not show the current position.
In short, Sultanpur’s khatauni can be viewed on upbhulekh.gov.in by selecting the district, tehsil and village and searching by plot number, account number or name. Use a certified copy for official work and follow the tehsil process for corrections.
