Dharitree Assam: Check Land Record & Jamabandi Online

What is Dharitree (Assam Land Records)?

Dharitree (ধৰিত্ৰী) is the official online land records management system of the Assam government. The name means "Earth" in Assamese. It provides digital access to land revenue records including jamabandi (record of rights), dagchala (plot maps), mutation records, and ownership details across all districts of Assam.

Key records on Dharitree:

• Jamabandi: The record of rights showing ownership, area, classification, and revenue details
• Dagchala (Dag Map): Plot-level map showing boundaries and measurements of individual dags (plots)
• Chitha: Extract from jamabandi showing current ownership for a specific dag
• Mutation: Record of ownership changes due to sale, inheritance, or other transfers
• Land Possession Certificate (LPC): Proof of land possession issued by the Circle Officer

Who Needs Assam Land Records?

• Property buyers — to verify ownership and encumbrances before purchase
• Farmers — for agricultural loans, PM Kisan, crop insurance registration
• Banks — for land mortgage and loan processing
• Court proceedings — land dispute resolution requires official records
• NRC/citizenship documentation — land records serve as legacy documents in Assam
• Government scheme applications — various schemes require land ownership proof

Understanding Assam Land Record Terms

Fees

Fees are approximate and may vary by revenue circle.

Important Tips

1. Assam uses bigha-katha-lessa measurement system — 1 bigha = 14,400 sq ft (different from Bihar/UP bigha)
2. Revenue Circle Office is key — most land services are handled at the circle level, not tehsil
3. Keep revenue payment receipts — annual land revenue payment proves continuous possession
4. Check for char/chapori land — riverine areas have special tenure rules and records
5. NRC linkage — land records are important legacy documents; keep certified copies safe
