[ecis2016.org] You can find the bhu naksha or land map of any particular land, on the official bhu naksha website of the respective states. Read on, to know how you can check the bhu naksha in different states like Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Rajasthan and Bihar
Many states have digitised their land records and it has become easier for people to check the bhu naksha or area map, online. By merging two vectors of the National Land Records Modernization Programme (NLRMP), the Indian government decided to evolve a new and computerised way, to manage land records in Indian states. As a result, the bhu naksha (or cadastral maps) came into existence. Digitisation of records would also help bring down instances of land disputes across the country, thereby, ensuring conclusive land titles. Also, a computerised system would aid editing and updating of the cadastral records, whenever necessary. As of date, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Lakshadweep, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, have up-to-date bhu naksha maps or cadastral maps. Wherever lagging, the authorities are trying to update the bhu naksha for all districts in a state.

What is a cadastral map?
A large-scale map that shows the boundaries and sub-divisions of land and includes the direction, length and area of tracts, is a cadastral map. It is useful for making a record of property ownership and even for research. Administration, land survey and transfer of ownership, also become easy with a cadastral map. Bhu-Naksha is a cadastral mapping software developed by NIC.
Why should you check bhu naksha?
Land records have been digitised in many states and it is important that you check these for the following reasons:
Legality: You will know about the legality of a given plot and whether you can build upon it or if it is a government land demarcated for public reasons.
Owner verification: Use the bhu naksha website to verify the real owner or list of owners of a particular plot. You will also be able to identify if someone is trying to unlawfully sell you a land parcel.
Size of land: It is very important to know the size, the boundaries and the demarcation of the land you are interested in buying. You can ascertain it with the bhu naksha facility.
Save time: Given that the bhu naksha facility is now online in various states, it saves you a lot of time. There is no need to queue up in the local government offices, to verify these details.
Integrated records: Note that the bhu naksha is the integration of cadastral maps with the Record of Rights (ROR).

Associated terms: Plot report
A plot report is a printable map of the area in which the plot is located. A plot report can be scaled to any size so that one can obtain a comprehensive and comfortable view of the map. Note that the quality of these maps have improved after Bhu Naksha 3.0. Once you give the print command for a plot report, it will be printed on an A4-sized sheet of paper, in the best fit scale. You can, however, add overlay layers on top of the plot and also generate reports for all plots in a particular owner’s name. In this case, though, the plot map report will be generated on different pages.
The need to digitise and update cadastral maps in India
In India, various schemes have been introduced, at the centre and state level, to digitise textual and spatial land records, including cadastral maps.
The National Land Records Modernization Programme (NLRMP), a centrally sponsored scheme, was introduced by merging two schemes namely the Computerization of Land Records (CLR) and Strengthening of Revenue Administration and Updating of Land Records (SRA&ULR), which was approved in 2008. The NLRMP has been revamped as the Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP).
Though a significant number of cadastral maps have been digitised, they do not reflect the latest ownership details of land parcels. Besides, the linking of textual records and spatial records is not complete. As per the DILRMP dashboard, about 52% of textual and spatial data integration has been completed and 68% of digitisation of cadastral maps have been completed.
There is a need for digitisation and updating of cadastral maps since the maps, once linked with textual land records, provide exact ownership details of land parcels in a region. The digitization enables planned developments over an area while also eliminating property disputes. Further, the digital version of cadastral maps is secure and accessible from anywhere, compared to the conventional land maps maintained on paper or cloth.
