When Bihar's land records were digitised, some jamabandi entries came online with mistakes: a misspelt name, the wrong father's name, a wrong khata or khesra number, or a different area. An error in the record can cause difficulty later, for example when you apply for mutation or other land-related services.
The Revenue and Land Reforms Department runs Parimarjan Plus to correct such entries online. This guide explains how to apply, how to track your application, and which documents to keep ready.
Errors Parimarjan Plus is meant to correct
- a mistake in the raiyat's name or the father's or husband's name
- a wrong khata or khesra (plot) number
- a wrong area (rakba)
- a jamabandi that is not available online at all: Parimarjan Plus has a separate service for its digitisation (Digitization of jamabandi not available Online)
Check the portal for the full list of correction types it currently accepts.
Parimarjan corrects the record. It does not decide a dispute over who owns the land. If someone else claims the land, or the correction depends on a contested deed or inheritance, the proper route is mutation proceedings or a civil suit.
Step 1: Check your online jamabandi
Open the official Jamabandi Panji (Register-II) viewer. Select your district, circle, halka and mauza, then search by raiyat's name, plot number, khata number or jamabandi number. Note exactly what is wrong and keep a printout; you will need the jamabandi number.
Step 2: Apply on Parimarjan Plus
Open the Bihar Bhumi portal and click परिमार्जन प्लस, or go directly to Parimarjan Plus. Register with your mobile number and OTP. Then:
- choose the type of correction
- enter the jamabandi details and the correct entry
- upload supporting documents
You receive an application number.
Step 3: Track your application
Keep your application number. You can check the status at any time on the official Parimarjan Plus application status page: choose Rectification in digitized Jamabandi or Digitization of jamabandi not available Online, then select your district and enter the details. If the Circle Office finds a defect in the application, it shows there, so check the status regularly.
Step 4: If the request is rejected
Read the reason shown on the portal. If a document was missing or unclear, you can apply again with complete papers. If the correction is refused on its merits, or the error is linked to a dispute over who owns the land, take legal advice on the right remedy for your case before taking any step.
Documents to keep ready
- Printout of the online jamabandi showing the error
- Old handwritten jamabandi (Register-II) or its certified copy, if available
- Latest rent receipt (lagan rasid)
- Khatiyan of the relevant survey
- The deed (sale, gift, partition) under which you hold the land
- For a name error: Aadhaar or another identity document showing the correct spelling
- For inheritance-related entries: death certificate and family tree (vanshavali)
Frequently asked questions
Is there a fee for applying on Parimarjan Plus?
Check the portal at the time of applying. Fees and charges for revenue services change, and the portal shows the current position.
Can I correct the area if my deed shows more land than the jamabandi?
Only if the jamabandi is wrong compared with the original records. If the difference comes from a dispute or an unclear deed, Parimarjan is not the remedy.
