Frequently Asked Questions for Bihar

What should I do if my land in Bihar is undergoing Special Survey (Sarvekshan)?

Submit Form 2 (Swaghoshna) along with your valid title deeds, Khatiyan copies, and updated revenue receipts (Lagaan). LandAmin amins can help you measure your actual boundaries and prepare an accurate map before government survey teams arrive.

How can I fix incorrect area details in Bihar Bhumi digital records?

File an application on the Bihar Parimarjan portal supported by your registered deed or parent Khatiyan. If physical measurement is disputed, LandAmin provides an authoritative survey report to support your correction claim.
