What are Land Records in West Bengal?
Khatian (also called Porcha or Record of Rights/ROR) is the official land record maintained by the Land & Land Reforms Department. It records the name of the landowner, plot number, area, classification, and mutation history. Errors in the Khatian can cause serious problems — property sale issues, loan rejections, and litigation.
How to Correct Errors
- Identify the error — wrong name, incorrect area, wrong classification, missing entry
- Collect supporting documents — sale deed, mutation order, previous khatian, tax receipts
- File an application with the BL&LRO (Block Land & Land Reforms Officer)
- The BL&LRO issues notice to interested parties and conducts a hearing
- If satisfied, the BL&LRO orders correction
- If rejected, appeal to the Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO), then the District Magistrate
