Real Anonymized Customer Query Pattern
Quick answer: Yes. An RTI to the Tahsildar/MRO (PIO) can ask for the record and document on which the current land-details entry is based, what happened to land missing from the record, the status of any correction request, and the procedure for correction — in writing, within 30 days.
An RTI does not itself fix the record. It obtains the basis of the wrong/missing entry — the evidence needed to correct it.

How the Record of Rights Works on Bhubharati
"Details of Land" reflects the record of rights — owner, survey number, extent and classification — maintained under the State system (now Bhu Bharati, successor to Dharani). Errors and omissions come from migration from the older records, manual entry, or an unresolved earlier dispute. Land can even disappear from the digital record if a survey number was not carried over. The first step is to obtain the basis of the current entry, or the trail of the missing land.
Where an RTI Fits — and Where It Doesn't
The realistic path is: discover the error/omission → correction request → RTI to get the basis → push the correction. An RTI will not fix the record itself. What it does, in about 30 days, is force disclosure of the document the entry rests on, or the record of the missing land — the foundation for correction.
A Real Example (Anonymized)
An owner found his survey number simply absent from Bhubharati, though he held a valid title and old pahani. An RTI for the basis revealed the survey number had not been carried over during migration and the old record still existed in the manual register. With that on paper, the omission became a documented migration error to be restored, not a mysterious disappearance. (Details are illustrative and anonymized.)

Subject: Information under the RTI Act, 2005 regarding wrong/missing land details in the record of rights.

Sample RTI Questions
- Please provide the record/document on which the current land-details entry for Survey No. [____] is based.
- If the land is not shown, please provide the earlier register record and the migration trail.
- Please provide the status of my correction/inclusion request [reference/date].

What a Useful Reply Should Contain
A proper reply should give the basis of the entry (or the trail of the missing land), the correction-request status, the officer responsible, and the correction procedure. A reply that ignores the basis or the migration trail likely needs a First Appeal.
After You Get the Reply — What to Do Next
- Wrong entry on an old source: file the correction citing your title document.
- Land missing due to migration: apply for restoration with the disclosed earlier record.
- No reply in 30 days: First Appeal under Section 19(1), then Second Appeal to the Telangana State Information Commission.
Likely Public Authority
The RTI usually goes to the PIO of the Tahsildar/Mandal Revenue Office. The RDO or District Collectorate may hold related records. Appeals are under the RTI Act, with the Telangana State Information Commission as the final appellate authority.
What RTI Can and Cannot Do
RTI can: get the basis of the entry, the migration trail of missing land, the correction status and procedure. RTI cannot: by itself correct or restore the record — but the record it produces is what compels the correction.
Common Questions
My land details are wrong on Bhubharati. Can RTI help?
Yes — you can ask for the record and document the entry is based on, and the correction status, on the record within 30 days.
My land is missing from the record entirely. What then?
You can ask for the earlier-register record and the migration trail — often the land was simply not carried over and can be restored.
