Jamabandi Haryana: Nakal, Mutation Status and Certified Copies Online

Jamabandi Haryana is the state’s online land-record service, run by the Revenue and Disaster Management Department through two websites: the long-standing jamabandi.nic.in, built on the HALRIS and WebHalris software, and the newer Revenue Haryana portal at revenueharyana.gov.in. Most people open it to read the jamabandi nakal of a khewat, check whether a sale has been mutated after registry or find a registered deed. Since July 2026 the same department also issues digitally certified copies online for a fee.

Two mix-ups waste the most time. The first is treating the free nakal as proof: both sites mark it as an information copy that can’t be used as a certified document in court or office work. The second is assuming one website does everything. The free search, mutation checks and deed lookups still sit on jamabandi.nic.in, while registration, certified copies and demarcation requests now run through a citizen login on revenueharyana.gov.in. This guide keeps the two apart.

What Jamabandi Haryana Covers

Haryana’s records are read through the Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1887, which the state still uses, so the vocabulary is khewat, khatoni (also spelt khatauni) and khasra, not terms like the 7/12 used elsewhere. The table sets out the service as it stood on 3 November 2026.

The digital record runs back to 2002, which the nakal page states on screen. For an older year you need the record room copy, covered below.

Haryana Land Record Terms You Will Meet

Every screen assumes you know a handful of words from the patwari’s registers. The portal’s own glossary defines them, and most come straight from the settlement records of undivided Punjab.

• Jamabandi: the record of rights for a revenue estate (village). The patwari revises it every five years and a revenue officer attests it. Under section 44 of the Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1887, its entries carry a presumption of truth until disproved.
• Khewat: the list of an owner’s holding, the number most searches start from.
• Khatoni: the cultivator’s holding slip; the jamabandi often shows a combined khewat/khatoni.
• Khasra: the field register, and the number of a single field.
• Intkal (mutation): the entry that changes ownership after a sale, gift, mortgage, inheritance, partition or court decree. Each is recorded in the mutation register before it reaches the next jamabandi.
• Shajra kishtwar: the field map of the village, kept in the tehsil record room with a working cloth copy with the patwari.
• Shajra nasab: the pedigree table of owners, useful in inheritance disputes.
• Khasra girdawari: the crop inspection register, written every six months in October and March.
• Kanal, marla, bigha and biswa: area units. A biswa is one-twentieth of a bigha, and the size of a bigha varies by area.

A khewat number on an old document isn’t guaranteed to match today’s. Holdings are renumbered when a new jamabandi is written, so always search with the jamabandi year your document belongs to.

Which Record Proves What

Each record answers a separate question, and a buyer or bank usually needs more than one.

The Query menu also offers narrower reports for a village: Owner Details, Kashatkar Details, Makbuja Details, Total Land, Irrigation Details, Majrua Land Details, Gair Majrua Land Details and Khewat/Khatoni Details. They help when you want one slice of the record, such as total area, rather than the full nakal.

How to See Jamabandi Nakal on jamabandi.nic.in

The free search needs no login and no fee. Keep the village name and either the khewat number, a khasra number or the owner’s name ready.

1. Open jamabandi.nic.in and, under the Jamabandi menu, click “Jamabandi Nakal for Checking”.
2. Under “Select type”, pick By Owner Name, By Khewat, By Khasra/Survey No. or By Date of Mutation.
3. Choose the district, then the tehsil or sub-tehsil, then the village.
4. Pick the jamabandi year. The latest year shows the current record; earlier years show past jamabandis.
5. Enter the owner name, khewat or khasra number as asked and open the nakal.

The page notes that records are generated in real time and are “subject to availability of records”. If a village or year returns nothing, the record hasn’t been digitized for that year, and only the tehsil’s record room holds it.

The Revenue Haryana portal has its own Jamabandi Nakal page with two extra choices. “Online Jamabandi” gives the current computerized record, and “Record Room Jamabandi” brings up past years held in the record room. You can then pick a Khewat Wise or Owner Wise copy. Its disclaimer, in Hindi, says the copy is for information and can’t be used as a certified document in any legal, judicial or official proceeding.

The jamabandi decides who is recorded, which is why lenders begin every farm loan with it; the note on agricultural credit in India explains that link.

Free Nakal Versus Certified Copy

The free nakal is for checking. When a bank, court or registrar asks for a jamabandi, it wants a certified copy, and Haryana now gives two routes to one.

Online, through the Revenue Haryana portal. The Certified Copies module went live with a user manual and SOP dated 27 July 2026. It covers four documents: Jamabandi, Mutation, Registry (Deed) and Fard Badar (a correction order).

1. Open revenueharyana.gov.in, click “Register” and choose “Citizen Registration”.
2. Pick the INDIAN or NRI tab and fill in your 10-digit mobile number, full name, father’s name, 12-digit Aadhaar number, email and gender. Enter the CAPTCHA and click “REGISTER NOW”.
3. Enter the 6-digit OTP sent by SMS and click “Verify OTP”. Registration is free and the account opens at once.
4. Log in through “Login”, then “Citizen Login”, with your mobile number, CAPTCHA and OTP.
5. Open “Certified Copies” from the left panel and start a new request. The system gives an application ID.
6. Choose the document type, then the district, tehsil and village; then enter the registry number or other identifier the form asks for.
7. Submit. The request goes to the patwari, who approves or rejects it with remarks.
8. After approval, a “Pay Now” button appears. Pay the fee through the payment gateway.
9. The system generates the digitally certified copy, and you download it from the dashboard.

At the launch on 27 July 2026 the fee was reported as Rs 100 for the first 10 pages of a jamabandi and Rs 5 for every page after that, and a flat Rs 100 for a mutation, registered deed or fard badar copy, whatever its length. The portal’s manual doesn’t print the amount, so confirm it on the payment screen. You pay only after the patwari approves, so an unapproved request costs nothing.

At a Fard Centre or the patwari. The department’s notified service list still gives time limits for counter copies. A certified copy at a Fard Centre is due in 1 day. A manual copy from the village patwari is due in 2 days below 5 pages, 3 days for 5 to 15 pages and 7 days above 15 pages. If the copy is late, take it up at the tehsil office.

jamabandi.nic.in also still carries a “Get Verifiable copy of Nakal” link, which asks for a registered mobile number. The July 2026 module on Revenue Haryana is the route the department now describes for certified copies, with its own manual and SOP, so start there.

Mutation in Haryana: Fee, Status and Objections

A registered sale deed doesn’t change the jamabandi by itself. The patwari enters a mutation, a revenue officer attests it, and only then does the new owner appear in the record.

Fee. The fee schedule linked from the portal is Haryana’s notification of 7 January 2013, issued under section 38 of the Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1887. It charges Rs 200 per mutation for an entry based on a registered deed, a court decree, a partition order or inheritance, plus a Rs 50 service charge that goes to the District Information Technology Society. Entries for Bhoodan land, and for plots given free to Scheduled Caste and Backward Class families under the Gramin Janta Housing Scheme, carry no fee.

Time limit. The notified time for attesting an uncontested mutation is 30 days, by the Circle Revenue Officer. The SDM is the first grievance authority and the Deputy Commissioner the second.

Checking status after a registry:

1. On jamabandi.nic.in, open the Mutation menu and click “Check Mutation Status”.
2. Select the district and tehsil.
3. Enter the registry number and registry date from your deed.
4. The result shows whether a mutation has been entered against that deed.

“Mutation Status of Deeds” works the same way. “Check Mutation of Deed and Raise Objection” lists deeds between two registry dates, which is how an owner can spot a transaction he didn’t make. “View Mutation Orders” needs a mobile-number login.

The Revenue Haryana portal adds a “Latest Mutation Notification” page listing mutations decided in the last ten days, with the UL number, registration number, type (such as transfer within blood relation) and a link to the document. Its notice says that anyone who objects should approach the tehsildar; if nobody does, the change is entered in the official records after 10 days. Check this page in the days after any sale that touches your khewat.

Maps, Deeds, Encumbrance and Demarcation

The rest of the menu serves buyers more than owners, and each item answers one narrow question.

• Cadastral map: “View Cadastral Maps” leads to the state’s map viewer, where the khasra appears on the village shajra. It is the step most people mean when they search for a jamabandi map in Haryana.
• Registered deeds: “View Registered Deeds” finds a deed registered through the state system, and “Collector Rates” gives the circle rate on which stamp duty is worked out.
• Encumbrance certificate: go to Property Registration, then Encumbrance Certificate, then “Apply New”. Log in with your mobile number and OTP, add your details and the property details, upload the nakal and download the certificate once the application is approved.
• Demarcation: a citizen logged in on Revenue Haryana can choose “Apply for Demarcation”. The SOP sets two payments, a Rs 200 application fee and a field fee at the government rate. The service list allows 45 days where no crop is standing, and the online SOP sets a 40-day maximum.

Loan entries against land are made on the same system by the patwari or an authorized officer, under a separate loan-entry SOP that sets a three-working-day limit for the entry.

Common Errors and Fixes

Most failed searches come from the selection screens, not from missing land.

• Nakal won’t load or the screen hangs. Open “Check Webhalris Server Status” under the Jamabandi menu. It shows which tehsils are online. If yours is offline, try later.
• Village missing from the list. Check whether it falls under a sub-tehsil, and whether it now sits in a new district. The Revenue Haryana list already shows Hansi as a district.
• Khewat number not found. You may be searching the wrong jamabandi year. Holdings are renumbered at each new jamabandi, so match the year to your document.
• Owner name not found. Records are in Hindi, and spellings of the same name vary. Search by khewat or khasra instead.
• Old year shows nothing. The digital record starts in 2002. Use “Record Room Jamabandi” on Revenue Haryana, or apply at the tehsil.
• “No Record Found” on a certified copy request. The registry number or the village doesn’t match. Copy them exactly from the deed.
• Payment failed. The dashboard shows “Payment Failed” and the download stays locked. Click “Pay Now” again.
• OTP expired. On the certified copy login the OTP lasts 5 minutes and can be resent after 60 seconds.
• Wrong document uploaded by the office. The SOP sends correction requests to the department’s headquarters by official email and holds the patwari accountable for the upload.

A wrong entry in the jamabandi itself, such as a misspelt name or a wrong share, isn’t fixed on either portal. It needs a correction order (a fard badar) from the revenue officer, after which the corrected record shows online.

Where to Complain

The office that owns your record is the tehsil. The patwari keeps the registers, the tehsildar and the Circle Revenue Officer decide on them and the SDM hears grievances above them. The patwari’s role and pay explains who you will deal with first.

• Delays in a notified service: complain to the first grievance authority named in the service list, then the second. Haryana’s appeal route under the Right to Service Act, 2014 is set out in the Saral Haryana guide.
• Portal problems: 1800-180-2137 (the jamabandi.nic.in contact page), or the Revenue Haryana help desk on 0172-2711693, Monday to Friday, 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM, at [email protected].
• WhatsApp help: the Revenue Haryana portal links a BHU-MITRA chatbot on 95933 00009 for land-record queries.
• Disputes: revenue court cases can be tracked from the “Revenue Court Status” link, and civil cases through “Civil Court Status”.

Haryana’s online record is one state’s version of a national program; the concept note on land records management in India explains DILRMP and why title isn’t guaranteed, and the state-wise land records portals table lists the equivalent site in every state. The farm-level push to link these records with farmer IDs is covered in the note on AgriStack and land records.

What Jamabandi Haryana Can’t Do

The portals show, copy and track the record. They don’t decide title.

• The free nakal isn’t a certified copy, on either site.
• The portals don’t correct names, shares or areas; that takes a revenue officer’s order.
• They don’t settle disputes; a challenged entry goes to a revenue court.
• They don’t stop a transaction; you object through the tehsildar, ideally inside the 10-day window.

The practical order is short. Before you pay an advance on land, pull the free nakal for the current year, check the mutation status of the seller’s own purchase, look at the cadastral map and the stay orders and buy the certified copy only when a bank, registrar or court asks for it.
