Haryana has embraced digital technology to simplify land record management through the Jamabandi portal, offering citizens an easy, transparent, and efficient way to access property and land-related information. This step aligns with the state government’s push for modern governance and better citizen services while reducing the need for physical visits to revenue offices.
What is Jamabandi Haryana?
Jamabandi Haryana, also known as the Record of Rights (RoR), is a comprehensive record of land ownership and cultivation details maintained by the state’s Revenue Department. Each revenue estate in Haryana has a Jamabandi, which includes information on landowners, cultivators, land type and area, irrigation sources, rent details, and unique identifiers like Khewat, Khasra, Khatoni, and Patti numbers.
Prepared by the Patwari and attested by the Revenue Officer, Jamabandi is updated every five years. One copy, called Nakal, is kept at the District Record Room, while the other remains with the Patwari. Under Section 44 of the Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1887, the Jamabandi carries a presumption of truth.
