How Jharbhoomi Helps Prevent Land Fraud in Jharkhand (Complete Guide 2026)

Land fraud cases were very common in Jharkhand earlier. Fake owners, incorrect land records, duplicate sales, and missing mutation created serious problems for buyers.

But now, with the Jharbhoomi Portal, citizens can verify all land details online directly from official government records.

If you are planning to buy land, this guide will help you understand how Jharbhoomi can protect you from fraud.

⭐ What is Land Fraud?

Land fraud happens when:

• Someone sells land without being the real owner
• One plot is sold to multiple buyers
• Incorrect khata or land details are used
• Registry is done but mutation is not completed
• Map location does not match actual land

Jharbhoomi helps identify all these issues before purchase.

What to Check on Jharbhoomi Before Buying Land

Step 1: Visit Official Website

Go to:

=> jharbhoomi.jharkhand.gov.in

Step 2: Verify Ownership Using Apna Khata

Click on Apna Khata and check:

• Owner name
• Khata number
• Khesra number

Important: If seller name does not match, do not buy.

Step 3: Check Legal Status via Register-II

Click on Register-II and verify:

• Legal status of land
• Government remarks
• Land type

Step 4: Match Khata and Register-II

Ensure both records match correctly.

If mismatch is found, stop the deal immediately.

Step 5: Check Land Map (Bhu Naksha)

Select district, circle, halka and mauza, then click your plot.

You can verify:

• Plot location
• Boundary
• Area

Wrong map = high risk of fraud

Step 6: Check Mutation Status

Verify mutation application status.

Without mutation, land ownership is not fully updated.

Step 7: Check Land Revenue Payment

Check if any dues are pending.

Pending dues may indicate disputed land.
