New Delhi. You too must have heard about measles and Khatauni many times. But, very few people are aware of its use. After all, where is it used and what information can you get through Khasra and Khatauni. Many people think that measles and khatauni are needed only in rural areas, but it is not so. Whether the land deal is in a city or a village, Khasra and Khatauni are required at both the places.
Both Khasra and Khatauni are considered very important land records. It is used in many states of the country like UP, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, MP, Haryana, Punjab, Bihar, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh. Although both are used in land records, but different information is obtained from both. This is the reason why most land deals cannot take place without these two documents. After all, what information is there in both and what is its use?
What are measles and measles?
Khasra number means plot number i.e. it gives information about a particular piece of land. Khasra also gives information about the area of the land, type of soil, crop, source of irrigation and who is in possession of it. On the other side is Khatauni, which is also called Gata Sankhya. In this, the list of account holders and information about ownership is available. This shows who is the owner of a particular Khasra number and how much is his share and in whose name is the registry. In simple words, Khasra is the plot number of a land, like the address number of a house. At the same time, the name of the owner of that plot remains in Khatauni.
Is it used in the city also
Khasra and Khatauni are now used in both villages and cities. Earlier it was believed that it was used only on village land, but now the situation has changed. Khasra and Khatauni are applicable on 100 percent of the land in villages and this is considered the main document. Khasra and Khatauri have been made in almost all the cities of UP, Bihar, MP, Rajasthan and Uttarakhand. Earlier, work in the city was done only through registry and mutation.
Khasra-Khatauni implemented in many big cities
Digitalization of land records was started in the financial year 2015-16 and today the lands of many big cities of the country have also been registered under Khasra-Khatauni. At present, Khasra-Khatauni has been made in cities like Lucknow, Kanpur, Ghaziabad, Noida, Greater Noida, Indore, Bhopal, Jaipur and Patna. However, in some cities, due to existence of Nazul lands, their transactions are done through Nazul Register.
