CG Bhuiya is the most useful online portal for farmers, landowners and land buyers in Chhattisgarh. If your land is in Chhattisgarh and you want to see its Khasra, Khatauni or map, you no longer need to keep visiting the patwari’s office. This one guide gives you the full roadmap — what CG Bhuiya is, how to check Khasra details by name or Khasra number, how to download a digitally signed B-I / P-II copy, what is true about the mobile app and the QR report, how to check mutation (Namantaran) status, how to view the Bhu-Naksha land map, and how to apply for correction if your record has an error. At the end you will also find a scam warning about fake websites and fixes for the most common problems, so your whole job gets done from one place.
What is CG Bhuiya? — Chhattisgarh’s Online Land Records System
CG Bhuiya (official name — Bhuiyan) is the land records computerisation project of the Revenue and Disaster Management Department, Government of Chhattisgarh, developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC). In the Chhattisgarhi language, “Bhuiyan” means “land”. Earlier, land records were written by hand in the patwari’s registers. To see a record you had to visit an office, finding the paper could take days, and there were frequent complaints about wrong information and fraud. The Bhuiyan project put those registers on computer and made them available online.
The system has two main parts. The first is the Bhuiyan portal, where you get written records such as Khasra and Khatauni. The second is Bhu-Naksha, where you see the land map — the plot’s location, shape and boundaries. Together they answer the three questions that matter most: who owns the land, how much land there is and in which account it is recorded, and where exactly it sits on the map. A government study (2024–25) records that the Bhuiyan project ran offline from 2005 and went online in 2015, and that on average about 20,000 citizens used the portal every day.
The portal is not only for viewing records. You can download digitally signed copies, check mutation status, apply for correction of errors, and view Nazul land details. According to an NIC publication, digitally signed B-I (Khatauni) and P-II (Khasra) copies can be downloaded free of cost. In other words, the government does not charge you any fee for viewing a record or taking a certified copy. If a cyber cafe asks you for money, that is the cafe’s own service charge, not a government fee.

What is the Difference Between B-I and P-II?
The Bhuiyan portal gives you two main documents, and most of the confusion is about telling them apart. B-I is the Khatauni and P-II is the Khasra. In simple words, the Khasra (P-II) is the detail of one plot — its Khasra number, area, land type, irrigation source and crop details. The Khatauni (B-I) is the detail of the account (khata) — all the Khasra numbers recorded under one account, together with the account holder’s name. Bank loans, buying or selling land, partition and court work often require both documents, so it is important to understand the difference.
| Document | What it is | When you need it |
|---|---|---|
| B-I (Khatauni) | Account-holder’s account details — all Khasra numbers in one account and the owner’s name | Ownership proof, loans, partition, mutation |
| P-II (Khasra) | One plot’s details — area, land type, irrigation, crop | Plot identification, crop/irrigation record, disputes |
One more thing to remember — the record you see on the portal is information, but the digitally signed copy is the one meant for official work. Where an original certified copy is demanded, confirm with the concerned office.
How to Check Khasra Details on CG Bhuiya — By Name and By Khasra Number
Checking Khasra details is the most-used job on the portal, and it usually needs no login. You only need to know the district, tehsil and village where the land is, plus either the owner’s name or the Khasra number.
- Open the official portal — type bhuiyan.cg.nic.in in your browser. On the homepage, look for a citizen-services / land-related information section (menu names can change slightly over time).
- Select “Khasra Vivaran” — you will find the “Khasra Vivaran” (Khasra Details) option in that section.
- Select district, tehsil, village — choose the district, then the tehsil, then the village from the dropdowns. Selecting the wrong village will show no record, so choose the village name carefully. There can be several villages with the same name, so confirm with the tehsil as well.
- Choose how to search — now you get two options: “by Khasra number” or “by name”. If you know the Khasra number, that is the most accurate method. For a name search, you can type even a part of the name — for example, if you do not remember the full name, type the surname or one word of the name and pick the right person from the list.
- View the record — the screen will show the owner’s name, account number, Khasra number, area and other details. From here you can open the P-II (Khasra) or B-I (Khatauni) report.
- Print / save the PDF — take a printout or save the PDF for the future. Do not rely only on a screenshot; for official work, take the digitally signed copy (method given below).
Practical tip: spelling matters in a name search. “Ram” and “Rama” can be treated as different names. If a name search finds nothing, try the Khasra number, or ask the village patwari for the Khasra number and try again. The Khasra number written on your old papers is the most reliable starting point.
How to Download a Digitally Signed B-I / P-II Copy
Merely viewing a record is one thing; taking a digitally signed copy is another. A signed copy carries digital proof, which is why banks, tehsils and other offices treat it as more trustworthy. As per NIC, this copy is available free of cost.
- Open the portal bhuiyan.cg.nic.in and, in the Application section, choose the option like “Digitally Signed B-I / P-II Application”.
- For selecting the village, use “Choose Village” or “Enter Village Number”, whichever option is shown. Then select district, tehsil and village in sequence.
- Choose “Khasra-wise” or “Name-wise” search and fill in the required details.
- Now choose which report you want — “B-I Khatauni Report” or “P-II Khasra Report”.
- Enter your name, mobile number and email ID. This information is taken for the record of issuing the copy.
- Click on “Report”. The digitally signed PDF will download. Keep it safe and take a printout if needed.
Note: if the Hindi letters in the PDF appear as square boxes (□□), that is a Hindi font problem, not a record problem. Update your browser, turn on Hindi language support on your phone or computer, and try opening the PDF in another browser or device. The full fix is given in the troubleshooting section below.
CG Bhuiyan Mobile App and the QR Khasra Report — What is True?
Many people want to check records from their phone, and for that the official “Bhuiyan” app by NIC is available on the Google Play Store. According to the Play Store listing, this app is Chhattisgarh’s Land Records project, developed by NIC. In the app you can view information about a land parcel (Khasra) by selecting district, tehsil, village and Khasra number, or by typing part of the owner’s name in Devanagari (Unicode). The app listing was last shown updated on 17 May 2025. When downloading the app, check one thing only — the developer name must read “National Informatics Centre”. There can be fake apps with similar names.
Now the QR report — some recent guides claim that the app offers a “Khasra Report with QR” option that generates a PDF with a QR code. The claim is that scanning the QR opens the live record on the official Bhuiyan site, which is why banks and tehsil offices prefer this copy. We could not verify this in any official NIC listing, so treat it as a reported claim, not a confirmed fact. If your app does not show a QR option, do not worry — the digitally signed B-I / P-II copy from the portal is your main official copy. Before going for any important work, ask the concerned bank or office which copy they want.
Caution while using the app: as per the Play Store listing, the app shares no data with third parties, but it also says “data isn’t encrypted”. So enter only the information needed to view a record. The app never asks for money, OTP or bank details — if anything asks for those, it may be a fake app.
How to Check Mutation (Namantaran) Status
After land is bought, inherited or gifted, the process of changing the owner’s name is called mutation (Namantaran). After applying, the biggest question is always — “Where is my mutation stuck?” The CG Bhuiya portal offers a facility to view the current status of mutation. Select the option like “Namantaran ki Vartman Stithi” (current status of mutation) on the portal. You may need to enter your application / registration number, or the owner’s name, or the Khasra number. Some facilities may also ask you to log in — in that case follow only the instructions shown on the portal, and never give your OTP or password to anyone.
The status usually tells you at which stage your application is — pending, under verification, approved, or held up for objection / missing documents. If the status shows a deficiency or objection, do not panic; first check which document has been asked for, then submit it at the concerned tehsil / patwari office. If the status does not change for a long time, enquire at the tehsil office with your application number — checking status online gives you information, but moving the file forward happens in the office.
How to View the Land Map on Bhu-Naksha
The written record tells you who owns the land, but the map tells you where the land is and what shape it is. That is the job of Bhu-Naksha. It is the digitised cadastral map management tool developed by NIC under the Bhuiyan project — this is also recorded on district NIC pages. The Bhu-Naksha portal opens directly at bhunaksha.cg.nic.in and can also be reached from the Bhuiyan portal.
- Open the Bhu-Naksha portal — go to bhunaksha.cg.nic.in.
- Select your area — from the dropdowns on the left, choose district, tehsil, RI (Revenue Inspector circle) and village.
- View the village map — as soon as you select the village, its map will load. Every plot appears as a separate shape on the map.
- Select your plot — click on the plot with your Khasra number, or enter the Khasra number where a search facility is given. The plot will be highlighted and its details will appear — owner’s name, area, survey number and land type.
- Take the map report — in the “Reports” section you will find options like Khasra Naksha / Khasra Details. From here the plot map can be downloaded as PDF or printed. The map can also be zoomed to any scale.
Before buying, always do this: do not buy land after seeing only the Khasra record. Match the plot’s position and boundaries on the map, then visit the spot and check that the plot on the map and the plot on the ground are the same. Proceed only when the map and the possession both match.
How to Apply for Correction if Your Record Has an Error
Wrong spelling of a name, wrong father’s name, wrong area, or an old owner’s name still showing — these errors are commonly seen in Bhuiyan records. The good news is that the portal also has a facility to apply for record correction. Select the option like “Abhilekh Durusti Aavedan” (record correction application) on the portal and fill in the asked details — in which Khasra / account the error is, what the error is, and what the correct information should be. Keep proof of the correct information ready (such as an old record, a copy of the registry, or an identity document), because correction does not happen without proof.
After applying, the status of the application can also be seen on the portal — the “Abhilekh Durusti Vivaran Soochi” (correction details list) under village-wise reports is reported to be the option for this, where you enter district, tehsil, village and dates to see the list of corrections. Remember: applying online is only the first step. The final decision on a correction happens only after verification by revenue officers. So keep your application number safe and enquire at the patwari / tehsil office if needed. If someone says “pay money and the record will be corrected immediately”, that can be fraud — there is no official “fast-track” fee for correction.
What is Nazul Land?
Nazul land is government land in urban areas that stays under government ownership and is often given on lease. The CG Bhuiya portal is also reported to offer details of Nazul land — in an option like “Nazul Sandharan Khasra se Sambandhit Bhoomi Vivaran”, where you can search by the owner’s name or plot number. If you are buying a plot in a town and it turns out to be Nazul land, be careful — the rules for Nazul land are different from ordinary agricultural land, and the lease conditions matter. Before buying, get written confirmation from the tehsil / Nazul office. (Note: menu names on the portal may appear slightly different; look for the option related to “Nazul”.)
How to Stay Safe from Fake / Copycat Websites — Scam Warning
Popular portals like CG Bhuiya attract fake websites and fake apps made in their name. Their aim is to steal your information, OTP or money. Follow these rules:
- Type only the official address — bhuiyan.cg.nic.in for Bhuiyan and bhunaksha.cg.nic.in for the map. Sites with similar names like “cg-bhuiya”, “bhuiya-online” or “bhuiyan-yojana” are not government sites.
- Look for .nic.in / .gov.in — government portals are usually on .nic.in or .gov.in. A “Bhuiyan” page on .com / .in is not the government portal.
- Beware of sites asking for money — viewing records and the digitally signed copy are free of cost as per NIC. If any site asks for a “record opening fee”, close it at once.
- Never share OTP / password — no government portal ever calls you to ask for an OTP. “Your Khasra is blocked, tell us the OTP” is an old fraud trick.
- Avoid fake apps — install the app only from Google Play and check that the developer name is “National Informatics Centre”. Never install an APK file received on WhatsApp or through a link.
- Do not fall for “agents” — if someone calls himself a “portal agent” and asks for money to correct a record or speed up a mutation, that is fraud. You can do all these jobs yourself, free of cost.
Common Problems and Fixes (Troubleshooting)
1. Record not found — first re-check district, tehsil and village. There can be several villages with the same name. If searching by name, try a smaller part of the name; if you know the Khasra number, search with that. If a fresh mutation or partition has happened, the record may take time to update — confirm with the patwari in that case.
2. Square boxes (□□) instead of Hindi letters — this is a Hindi font / language-support problem. Update your browser, turn on Hindi language support on your phone or computer, and try opening the PDF in another browser or device.
3. Site is slow or not opening — government portals like Bhuiyan can sometimes be slow. Try again after some time, try another browser, and also try the Bhu-Naksha portal directly.
4. Login / OTP problem — some facilities may ask for a login. If the OTP does not arrive, wait a few minutes, check your mobile network, and use the “resend” option. Never share your OTP with anyone.
5. Old name still showing — if mutation is done but the portal still shows the old name, first check the mutation status. Even after approval, the record can take time to update; enquire at the tehsil office with the application number.
6. Map is not loading — check your internet connection, refresh the page, and try changing the zoom level. If it still does not open, try later or open the village map on another device.
Where to get help: for record-related help, you can write to the land records helpdesk email given on a district NIC page — lrhelpdesk@cg.gov.in. No phone number is given in this guide, because in this run no helpline number could be verified from an official source.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1. What do I need to check Khasra details on CG Bhuiya?
Only three things — district, tehsil and village name, plus either the Khasra number or the owner’s name. A search with the Khasra number is the most accurate.
Q2. Does the copy from CG Bhuiya work in a bank or tehsil?
The digitally signed B-I / P-II copy is issued for official work and is free of cost as per NIC. Still, before big work (loan, registry, court), ask the concerned office which copy they want.
Q3. What is the QR Khasra report in the CG Bhuiya app?
Some recent guides report a QR-code Khasra report option in the app, which on scanning is said to open the live record on the official site. We could not verify this claim in an official NIC listing, so treat it as a reported claim. If you do not find a QR option, take the digitally signed copy from the portal.
Q4. How many days does it take for mutation status to update?
No fixed time limit is given in this guide, because it depends on the type of application and the office’s process. Keep checking the status on the portal, and if it does not change for a long time, enquire at the tehsil office with your application number.
Q5. What should I do if my name is wrong in the record?
Apply for record correction (Abhilekh Durusti) on the portal and keep proof of the correct information ready. Correction happens only after verification by revenue officers. Beware of people who promise “instant correction” for money.
Q6. Can people from other states also view CG Bhuiya?
Yes, viewing records is open to all — but this portal is only for land in Chhattisgarh. For Bihar land records, see our Bihar Jamabandi online check guide, and for Uttar Pradesh, see our UP Bhulekh Khasra Khatauni guide.
