Bhu Bharati Portal | Check Telangana Land Records Online
The Telangana government has introduced the Bhu Bharati portal, a modern online platform to manage land records and property-related services. Designed to replace the Dharani portal, Bhu Bharati simplifies access to land ownership records, property mutation, NALA applications, land document downloads, and other services, all through a single digital platform.
Whether you're a local citizen, farmer, or a Non-Resident Indian (NRI), this guide walks you through everything you need to know about the Bhu Bharati Telangana portal, including registration, login, land search, document downloads, and more.
Dharani Replaced by Bhu Bharati Telangana
The previously used Dharani portal has been officially phased out and replaced by the new Bhu Bharati RoR (Record of Rights) portal. The transition is backed by the Bhu Bharati (RoR) Act 2025, making the process of land record maintenance more transparent, legally robust, and user-friendly. All essential services like mutation, succession, and passbook corrections are now available online through this new platform.
