Bhu Bharati Problem Finder: Which Module Applies, the Official Route First, and Where RTI Fits (Telangana)

Which Bhu Bharati module applies to my problem?

Pick the row that matches. The official module comes first (free); our guide explains what an RTI can add if that application stalls.

Terms you will see on the portal, in plain language

Pattadar / PPB

the recorded holder of the land, and the Pattadar Passbook issued to them; an ePPB copy issues the same day and the physical book comes by post (FAQ PPB Q1).

Mutation

updating the record of rights to show the current holder after a registered transfer; for land bought before Bhu Bharati, "Apply for Mutation" (FAQ Q8).

Survey number / sub-division

the parcel number (and sub-number) in the village record; a missing one is added through the Modification Request Application (FAQ Q33).

Extent

the recorded area of the parcel; corrected through Modification Request Application > Extent Correction (FAQ Q32).

Assigned land

land assigned by Government to a beneficiary; a patta parcel wrongly "Marked as assigned land" is corrected under the land-nature option (FAQ Q31).

Notional khata

the record head under which Government land, irrigation-project land, roads or house sites are carried (FAQ Q35) - not a private pattadar khata.

Prohibited property

a survey number on which transactions are blocked; searchable on the portal and removable only through the grievance module (FAQ Q19).

NALA

conversion of agricultural land to non-agricultural use; the portal calculates the charges (FAQ Q12).

Sada Bainama

an unregistered plain-paper sale; it does not change the record by itself. No Sada Bainama module was listed among the portal services when checked on 2026-08-22.

Why this usually gets stuck

• The application has been forwarded to the department login and awaits verification or approval, with no reason recorded against it
• A correction request (name, extent, missing survey number) was rejected with a generic or no recorded reason
• The survey number appears in the Prohibited Properties List, or the record still shows an old entry after registration
• A grievance was closed on the portal without the underlying record changing

What an RTI gets you, on record

• The current status and complete file movement of your specific application number
• The name and designation of the officer with whom it is pending, and for how long
• Certified copies of the notes/orders recording why it was rejected or held
• The action taken on your grievance number, on record

What RTI can and cannot do here

Where to file it

Address the RTI to the PIO of the concerned Tahsildar / Mandal Revenue Office; where the Rules place the decision with the Revenue Divisional Officer or the District Collector (Schedule A of the 2025 Rules does so for most Modification Request options), address that office. File through the official Telangana State RTI Portal (citizen registration and login required), selecting the concerned Telangana revenue public authority. If it is not listed, file by post to its designated PIO. Our Telangana portal guide explains the route. Not sure which office holds your file? Use FindMyPIO. Under Section 7(1) of the RTI Act the PIO is ordinarily required to respond within 30 days - that period concerns the RTI reply, not your land application.

Sample RTI questions (edit the bracketed details)

Keep questions factual and specific to your own matter. Ask for records, status, dates, reasons and officer details - not opinions. Do not include anyone else's personal information.

Copy-paste RTI application

Fill the bracketed details and send to the PIO of the office named. Attach the RTI fee prescribed for that authority (Rs. 10 in many cases; BPL applicants attach BPL proof instead of fee). Do not include anyone else's personal information.

If there is no reply in 30 days

The PIO is ordinarily required to respond within 30 days under Section 7(1) of the RTI Act. If there is no proper response, file a First Appeal with the First Appellate Authority of the same public authority; if that fails, a Second Appeal lies with the Information Commission. See the Appeal Generator.
