Key points
- Karnataka's land record is the RTC, also called the pahani, on landrecords.karnataka.gov.in.
- Search by district, taluk, hobli, village, survey number and hissa number.
- The same page shows the mutation register (MR) and links to the digitally signed RTC.
- This site explains the portal; it is not the government site and holds no records.
The short answer
Bhoomi is the Karnataka Revenue Department's land-record system. Its online RTC page at landrecords.karnataka.gov.in shows the RTC (pahani) for the current or an old year, the mutation register (MR), mutation status and the khata extract.
BuySellProperty is not the Bhoomi portal and cannot fetch an RTC for you. This guide explains how to use the official site.
How to view an RTC, step by step
1. Open landrecords.karnataka.gov.in and choose View RTC and MR (the Online RTC page).
2. Pick Current Year or Old Year.
3. Select district, taluk, hobli and village, then enter the survey number.
4. Choose the surnoc and hissa number and, for an old year, the period. Click Fetch Details, then View.
5. For banks and registration, use the link on the same page to get the digitally signed RTC. Menu names change from time to time; follow the screen when it differs.
What to read in it
Match the owners' names and extent with the seller and the sale deed, check the liabilities column for loans, and open the MR to see how the current owners got the land. Revenue court cases for the survey number are listed on rccms.karnataka.gov.in.
A land or registration record is evidence, not a title deed. Before paying any token money, match the seller's name, share and survey number with the sale deeds, check that the latest mutation has gone through, and look for loans, court cases and government claims.
Costs once you buy
Stamp duty in Karnataka is worked out on the higher of the price and the guidance value. Use the stamp duty calculator for Karnataka, and make sure the mutation is entered after registration so the RTC shows your name.
Common questions
What is the difference between RTC and pahani?
They are the same record. RTC stands for Record of Rights, Tenancy and Crops; pahani is its common name in Karnataka.
Is the RTC shown on screen valid for a bank?
Banks usually ask for the digitally signed RTC, which the same Bhoomi page links to. Check what your bank accepts.
Does BuySellProperty show Bhoomi records?
No. We explain how to use the official portal and list properties; the records are only on landrecords.karnataka.gov.in.
