Bhulagan Bihar 2026: Pay Bhu-Lagan Online, Download Receipt & Check Status

Last Updated: 16 October 2026

Landowners in Bihar have to pay lagan (land revenue / land tax) on their land every year. Earlier, this meant trips to the anchal office, and getting the receipt (rasid) cut could take days. Now the whole job is done from home, on a mobile phone — pay the lagan and download the receipt immediately. In this article, we explain the complete method of paying online lagan in Bihar — from the portal to payment, receipt download, and what to do if a payment fails — plus how to check pending lagan, view jamabandi, and related work like LPC. The FAQ section at the end answers the most common questions.

What Is Bihar Online Lagan?

Bihar Online Lagan is the facility of Bihar’s Revenue and Land Reforms Department, through which landowners can pay the lagan (land revenue / land tax) on their land online and download the receipt (rasid). The Bhu-Lagan service is now reached through the BiharBhumi portal (biharbhumi.bihar.gov.in) — choose the ‘Bhu-Lagan’ / ‘Online Lagan’ option there. The old bhulagan.bihar.gov.in link often does not open, so go through the BiharBhumi portal directly.

Paying lagan is not just a formality — a fresh receipt is the proof that the land tax is paid. It is asked for in dakhil-kharij (mutation), LPC, bank loans and land sale/purchase work.

What Do You Need Before Paying Online Lagan?

Your land’s details — district, anchal, halka, mauja
Any one for searching: khata number, khesra number or jamabandi number
If you do not know these numbers, the option to find Bhag Vartaman and Prishth Sankhya is available on the portal itself
UPI / net banking / debit card for payment
Your name, mobile number and address (for the receipt)

How to Pay Bihar Online Lagan (Step-by-Step)

Open biharbhumi.bihar.gov.in and click “Bhu Lagan” / “Online Lagan”.
Select the district, then the anchal, halka and mauja.
Choose the search method — khata number, khesra number or jamabandi number — enter the details and click “Dekhein” / Search.
Your land’s details and Land Tax Liability will appear on the screen — pending lagan and past payments are also shown here.
Click “Pay Online”.
Fill in your name, registered mobile number and address and agree to the terms and conditions.
Click “Pay” — on the payment page, pay with UPI, net banking or debit/credit card.
As soon as the payment succeeds, the receipt (rasid) will be generated — download/print it immediately and keep it safe.

How to Check Pending Lagan

Before paying, the portal shows your land’s Land Tax Liability — how much lagan is pending and how much has already been paid. This is the screen that tells you how much you need to pay right now. Check these details carefully before paying the receipt — if the khata/khesra number is wrong, the receipt can get cut against the wrong land.

How to Download the Land Receipt (Rasid)

After a successful payment, download the generated receipt from the same page.
If the receipt does not download immediately, old receipts can also be downloaded again from the portal’s receipt/payment history option.
Take a printout of the receipt and keep it with your land papers — it is needed for dakhil-kharij, LPC and loan work.

What to Do If the Payment Fails

Do not panic first — the failed transaction’s status can be checked on the portal through the Failed Transaction Status option.
Check your bank statement to see whether the money was deducted. If money was deducted but no receipt was generated, usually the money comes back automatically within a few days.
Do not pay again without checking the status — otherwise the money can get deducted twice.
If the problem continues, contact the toll-free helpline 1800-345-6215.

How to View Jamabandi (The Most Important Record Linked to Lagan)

To pay lagan, you need to know your land’s record, which is in the jamabandi. View jamabandi on the Bihar Bhumi Portal like this:

On biharbhumi.bihar.gov.in, select the Jamabandi / Record of Rights option.
Select district, anchal and mauja.
Search by khata number, khesra number or landowner’s name.
The record will appear on the screen — take a printout if you want.

Jamabandi records whose name is entered against which khesra, how much land there is, and what type of land it is.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Entering a wrong khata/khesra number — the receipt will get cut against the wrong land. Cross-check the number on the portal itself.
Not downloading the receipt — download the receipt immediately after payment; finding it later can be difficult.
Paying again immediately on a failed payment — first check the transaction status and bank statement.
Paying on a fake/lookalike website — use only the official portal (biharbhumi.bihar.gov.in). Do not pay any agent.

What Is Written on the Lagan Receipt?

The receipt generated after paying online lagan usually contains this information — the landowner’s name, district-anchal-halka-mauja, khata/khesra/jamabandi details, the lagan amount paid, the payment method and date, and the receipt/transaction number. After receiving the receipt, check all this information carefully — the name spelling, khata-khesra numbers and amount must be correct. If you spot any mistake, contact the helpline immediately and do not use the incorrect receipt for any work.

How Is the Lagan Amount Decided?

The lagan amount is decided according to the land’s type, category and area, and this information appears in the Land Tax Liability when you search for your land’s details on the portal. You do not need to calculate the amount yourself — the portal shows the amount recorded in the department’s records. If you feel the displayed amount is wrong, get the record checked at your anchal office, and do not pay anyone an amount different from what the portal shows.
