Check the
Adangal and 1B
on Meebhoomi
Two documents carry Andhra Pradesh land diligence. The 1B settles who owns; the Adangal reports what is happening on the soil, crop, occupant, water source, season by season. A deal is only as sound as the agreement between them. This guide covers pulling both from Meebhoomi and reading them the way a village revenue officer would.

What the Adangal and 1B each prove
200–300 words
Definition
The Adangal is Andhra Pradesh's cultivation account for every survey number: occupant, crop, water source and season entries alongside the holder's details. The 1B is the ownership register extract. Meebhoomi, the AP revenue department's portal, serves both online at no cost.
Start with the division of labour. When a bank asks who holds title, it reads the 1B. When a revenue enquiry asks who is farming the plot, it reads the Adangal. A buyer needs both answers to be the same person, or a documented reason why not.
The Adangal earns its keep in the columns nobody reads aloud: magani and metta entries separating irrigated from rain-fed land, the water-source note that backs the classification, and the nature of possession, where tenancies and government assignments leave their trace.
The 1B's khata number is the quiet workhorse. It strings every parcel of one holder together, so a single lookup can reveal holdings the seller never mentioned, including restricted ones.
Meebhoomi displays records; it does not amend them. Corrections and succession travel through MeeSeva and the Tahsildar, and debt sits on a different portal altogether, IGRS AP.

How to pull the Adangal and 1B online
500–800 words
No login is needed to view. Have the survey number ready, or the khata, or a linked Aadhaar.
On Meebhoomi
Choose the record type
From the menu on meebhoomi.ap.gov.in, pick Adangal for the cultivation account or 1B for ownership.
Village Adangal shows the full survey list for the village.
Set district, mandal, village
Work down the dropdowns to the revenue village, which may differ from the postal name.
Mistaken villages produce false empty results.
Search by your identifier
Survey number is standard; khata pulls a holder's parcels; Aadhaar works where eKYC is complete.
Try khata when a survey search comes back blank.
Read, then save
Study the columns on screen and keep a copy for the file.
When a bank or SRO needs it, get the MeeSeva certified version instead.
At the revenue office
Go to the village's MRO
Quote the survey number or hand over the passbook for an exact pull.
Collect signed extracts

Column by column: reading both records
200–300 words
What each field settles, and the mismatch that should stop a deal.
Column | Which record | Deal impact |
|---|---|---|
Pattadar & father's name | 1B | Seller identity; spelling must equal the deed |
Khata number | 1B | Reveals the holder's full village portfolio |
Occupant / possession | Adangal | Someone else farming = unresolved rights |
Magani / metta class | Adangal | Value, water rights, conversion route |
Water source | Adangal | Substantiates the wet classification |
Acquisition trail | Both | Assignment origins mean transfer limits |
One name across the 1B owner, Adangal occupant and draft deed, with class and extent consistent everywhere.

Common Adangal and 1B issues, and the fix
200–300 words
Where Adangal and 1B checks go wrong, and how to recover.
Search returns nothing
Village mis-selection and unmigrated old khatas are the usual culprits.
confirm the revenue village at the MRO and retry via the khata number.
Two different names
1B says one person, Adangal occupant says another.
demand the paper trail explaining it; without one, assume a live dispute.
Assignment in the acquisition trail
The parcel began as a government grant to a landless family.
transfer restrictions may survive decades; verify the parcel's present legal status.
Spelling drift across documents
Aadhaar, passbook and record each spell the holder differently.
standardise via a MeeSeva correction before the record meets a bank.

Why the Adangal comes first in AP diligence
200–300 words
Sequence matters.
Everything downstream presumes this pair
The EC, the map, the market value, all of it presumes you have the right parcel and the right person, and only the Adangal and 1B establish that pair.
Ten free minutes gate the whole file
Ten free minutes on Meebhoomi decide whether the rest of the file is worth building.
Pull it three times
Repeat the pull twice more: on the site visit, comparing the occupant column with the person actually ploughing, and after registration, confirming the record now carries your name.
If the person negotiating cannot produce a 1B in their own name, or keeps substituting photocopies for a live Meebhoomi search, the ownership story has a hole in it.

What does the 1B tell me that the Adangal does not?
What does the 1B tell me that the Adangal does not?
Registered ownership and the khata grouping of a holder's parcels. The Adangal adds cultivation reality: occupant, crop, water source and classification.
What are magani and metta?
What are magani and metta?
Revenue classes for irrigated and rain-fed land respectively. The class shapes valuation, water rights and the conversion path for construction.
The occupant is not the owner. Problem?
The occupant is not the owner. Problem?
Potentially serious. It can mean tenancy, an informal family split or a possession dispute. Get the explanation in writing before money moves.
Can one search show everything a seller owns?
Can one search show everything a seller owns?
Within a village, yes, through the khata number. Run it; undisclosed parcels, especially assigned ones, change the risk picture.
Which copy do banks want?
