What is Khatauni?

The Khatauni (खतौनी) number is an important tool, to check the status of land ownership, especially in rural parts of India. At the time of sale and purchase of land in India, the Khatauni number plays a crucial role, as it carries all the important information regarding the land.

A type of account number, Khatauni provides information about the land-holding pattern within a family. These pieces of land can be together, or in different places. A legal document, the khatauni provides information about a land, its Khasra number, the number of people owning it, its total area, etc. Khatauni also has the details of all the Khasras owned by a land owner. In other words, Khatauni is the record of all the Khasras owned by a family. It can also be seen as a register of people cultivating or occupying the land in question.

Difference between Khasra and Khatauni

While a particular piece of land is known through its Khasra number, the details of all the Khasras of a particular person or family is known as Khatauni. That way, a Khasra number is just a unit while a Khatauni is a record of several units.

Another difference between the two is that the Khasra is made in P-II form while Khatauni is made in B-I form. While the former has 12 columns, the latter has 23 columns.
