How to check your RTC (Pahani) online in Karnataka

Karnataka LandGrid  |  Updated

Quick answer

Open the Government of Karnataka land records portal (Bhoomi, landrecords.karnataka.gov.in), choose district, taluk, hobli and village, enter the survey number, pick the hissa and the year, and view the RTC. For a certified copy, use the portal's paid option or a taluk office.

Before you start

You need the survey number and the village. If you do not have the number, find the land on a survey map first: see how to find your survey number.

Steps on the Bhoomi portal

  1. Go to landrecords.karnataka.gov.in and open the RTC (Pahani) service.
  2. Select the district, taluk, hobli and village.
  3. Type the survey number and fetch the details. Pick the surnoc and hissa from the lists that appear.
  4. Choose the period (the current RTC, or an older year) and view it.

The portal's screens change from time to time; the order of the choices stays the same.

What to check on the RTC

  • Owner names and their extents add up to the survey number's total extent.
  • Kharab is shown separately and is not part of the cultivable extent you are buying.
  • Liabilities: bank loans or other charges recorded on the land.
  • Land type (dry, wet, garden) and the mutation number through which the current owner came on record.

Certified copies

A printed view from the portal is for information. For banks, courts or registration you may need a digitally signed or certified RTC, available through the portal's paid service, Atalji Janasnehi Kendras or the taluk office.

Frequently asked questions

Is the online RTC free?

Viewing is generally free. A digitally signed or certified copy is a paid service.

What is surnoc?

A sub-reference used on the RTC alongside the survey number and hissa. The portal lists the valid choices once you enter the survey number.

Can I see the RTC by owner name?

The portal works mainly by survey number. If you only know the location, find the survey number on a survey map first.

The RTC extent differs from the map. Which is right?

The RTC and survey records are the legal extent. A map area is calculated from the mapped boundary and is approximate.
