What is Bhu Naksha in MP?
200–300 words
Definition
Bhu Naksha in MP is the digitised cadastral map MP, maintained by the Commissioner Land Records under the Madhya Pradesh Land Revenue Code, 1959. It shows boundaries, shape, area, and the survey or Khasra number of every land parcel in the state.
The plot map MP is the only document that tells you what your land actually looks like on the ground. The Khasra gives you a number. The B1 gives you a name. The Bhu Naksha shows you the shape, the neighbours, the road frontage, and where the boundary really sits. Most fights over land in MP start here. The seller says the plot is square. The map says it is irregular. The seller says the road touches it. The map says it does not. Pull the map first.
The portal hosts WebGIS 2.0 Bhu Naksha, an upgraded mapping interface that overlays village boundaries, plot lines, and adjacent road or water features with better accuracy. Free copies work for buyer screening. For court use, bank loans, or registration, you need the digitally signed certified copy from the Tehsildar. The free copy alone will not stand up at a Sub-Registrar's office.
Always view Bhu Naksha through the MP Bhulekh portal and verify the plot shape against what the seller is showing you. A boundary mismatch on the portal is a red flag worth a deal collapse.

What Does Bhu Naksha Contain in MP?
200–300 words
These are the issues MP buyers see most often when they pull the map.
Field | What it means | What to check |
|---|---|---|
Khasra Number | Unique plot identifier | Must match the sale deed and B1 entry |
Plot Boundary | Polygon line of the plot | Must match physical fence or boundary stones |
Area (Rakba) | Plot size in hectares | Must match the sale deed and Khasra |
Adjacent Plots | Neighbouring Khasra numbers | Must match what neighbours show in their records |
Road Frontage | Whether plot touches a road | Critical for valuation and access rights |
Land Class | Agricultural, residential, government | Must match the Khasra and Girdawari entries |
Village Boundary | Outer limit of the revenue village | Must enclose the plot fully |
Resurvey Status | Whether plot has been resurveyed | Recent resurvey may change area or boundary |
A clean Bhu Naksha shows the plot fully enclosed in the village boundary, matching Khasra and area, clear road frontage if claimed, and no overlap with neighbouring plots.

Common Issues With Bhu Naksha in MP
200–300 words
These are the issues MP buyers see most often when they pull the map.
Plot shape on map differs from physical fence
The portal map shows one shape. The physical fence shows another. The seller has likely encroached or lost a strip.
Get a fresh Patwari boundary check on site before paying anything. Adjust the deed or walk away.
Area on map differs from sale deed
The Bhu Naksha area is smaller than the area mentioned in the proposed sale deed. You are paying for land that does not exist.
Insist on a fresh demarcation by the Patwari and a corrected Khasra entry before registration.
Road frontage missing on map
The seller claims the plot is on the road, but the map shows it is landlocked.
Walk away or restructure the deal at a much lower price. A landlocked plot has limited future value.
Plot overlaps with government land
The Bhu Naksha shows part of the plot intruding into government, forest, or road land.
Refuse the deal. No certificate from the seller can override the cadastral overlap on the portal.
Old map not updated for resurvey
A recent state-driven resurvey has changed the area or boundary, but the seller still uses the old map.
Pull the latest WebGIS 2.0 version, request a fresh Patwari sketch, and update the sale deed accordingly.
Map missing from portal
The plot does not yet appear on Bhu Naksha because the village's digitisation is incomplete.
Get a manual map and certified Patwari boundary report. Defer registration until the plot appears on the portal.

Madhya Pradesh-specific: WebGIS 2
0 integration WebGIS 2.0 layers the cadastral map with road, water, and adjacent ownership data. Use it to spot encroachments, road overlaps, and hidden access issues before you commit.
If the seller refuses to open MP Bhulekh in front of you, insists the portal map is "wrong but the deed is right," or stalls a Patwari site visit, treat that as a refusal to verify.
