Legacy Dharani applications: how to ask about a file now handled on Bhu Bharati

Applications filed on the earlier Dharani portal — mutation, NALA conversion, succession, partition, passbook corrections, Aadhaar seeding, refunds and grievances — are now handled through the Bhu Bharati portal, which replaced Dharani in 2025. Check your application number on Bhu Bharati first. If no status appears there, an RTI asks for the recorded facts: the recorded migration/status details of your file, the officer currently holding it, its movement dates, and any recorded expected timeline, if available.

Legacy application types now handled via Bhu Bharati: ownership and transfer (mutation, succession, partition, notional khata to patta, khata merging, GPA / NRI / organization passbooks, court-case flagging); land nature and NALA (pending NALA conversion, NALA without passbook, semi-urban PPB, house-site NALA, classification or extent corrections); passbook and Aadhaar (seeding, duplicate PPB, data correction, name change, fresh passbook); and grievances (prohibited-property inclusion, acquired land not updated, missing survey or sub-division numbers, digital-signature issues, registration-fee refunds).

Copy-ready RTI wordings for legacy files:

  • Mutation filed on Dharani: “Please provide the recorded status and file movement of my mutation application no. [____] filed on the Dharani portal, including the recorded migration/status details under Bhu Bharati, if any.”
  • NALA conversion: “Please provide the recorded status of my NALA application (ref no. [____]) originally filed on Dharani, and the officer with whom it is currently pending.”
  • Refund not issued: “Please provide the recorded file progress and the officer responsible for my refund request (eChallan [____]) for a cancelled registration filed on Dharani.”
  • Aadhaar not seeded: “Please share the recorded status of the Aadhaar seeding request for PPB [____], and the recorded reason or deficiency, if any, noted on the request.”
  • Succession (with or without a will): “Please provide the recorded status and file movement of my succession application filed on [date] [based on registered will no. [____] / as legal heir without a registered will] for Sy. No. [____] in [village].”
  • Appeal after rejection: “Please share the recorded status and the officer handling the appeal submitted on [date] against the rejection of my mutation request.”
  • Passbook correction: “Please provide the recorded progress of my passbook data-correction application (PPB no. [____]) submitted on [date] in [mandal], and the recorded reason or deficiency, if any.”

Where to address the RTI: to the public authority that holds the relevant record — commonly the Tahsildar office for village/mandal revenue records, the District Revenue Officer or the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration (CCLA) for files at those levels, and the IGRS / Registration Department for registration-side records. Ask for the file’s recorded movement and current custodian: applications such as succession or appeals can pass through more than one desk, and the RTI puts the current custodian and movement dates on record.
