How to Check Land Records (ROR, Khata, Khasra) Online in Tripura
Tripura keeps its land records in a single online system called eJami, run by the Revenue Department, where you can view the Record of Rights, known locally as the Khatian, along with the plot and mouza details and the mutation position. The record tells you who the recorded holder is, how much land the khatian covers, the plot numbers in it and the land classification, which is exactly what a buyer, a bank or an heir needs to confirm before acting. Reading the correct record first is the cheapest way to avoid a bad purchase or a stalled loan. This page shows how to open your Tripura Khatian on eJami, how to search by mouza, khatian and plot, what to do when the record is wrong, and the special position of land in the tribal belt governed by the TTAADC. Last verified October 2026.
- Portal: Tripura land records are on eJami at jami.tripura.gov.in, run by the Revenue Department.
- Record: the Khatian (Record of Rights) is searched by mouza, khatian and plot (dag) number.
- Mutation: apply through the Revenue Department after a sale or inheritance; status shows on eJami.
- Tribal belt: TTAADC land under the Sixth Schedule restricts transfer to non-tribals; check first.
- Not a deed: read the Khatian with the registered sale deed and mutation history before relying on it.
01What the Tripura record shows
The core land record in Tripura is the Khatian, the Record of Rights. For a given khatian it shows:
- the name of the recorded holder or holders;
- the plot (dag) numbers that make up the khatian and their area;
- the land classification and the mouza (revenue village) it sits in;
- mutation entries that record how the holding changed hands.
A Khatian confirms who the state treats as the holder on paper. It is not by itself a title deed, so always read it together with the registered sale deed and the mutation history before you rely on it.
02Check your record on eJami
Tripura uses one portal, eJami, for its land records:
- Open jami.tripura.gov.in, the Revenue Department eJami portal.
- Choose the citizen view and the option to get the online Record of Rights or Khatian.
- Register or log in if the portal asks you to, then select your district and move to the search.
eJami also carries deed status and mutation request status, so once you know your khatian you can follow a pending mutation on the same site.
03Search by mouza, khatian and plot
Tripura land is addressed by mouza, khatian and plot, so keep those details ready:
- Select district, then the tehsil or revenue circle, then the mouza (revenue village).
- Enter the khatian number or the plot (dag) number to pull the record.
- Where the portal allows, you can also look up a mutation case by its Rapat or request number.
If you do not know the khatian or plot number, the earlier registered deed or an older land-tax receipt usually carries it. Match the holder name, area and plot across the deed and the Khatian; any mismatch is the first thing to fix.
04Mutation and correction
Mutation updates the Khatian after land changes hands by sale, inheritance or gift. In Tripura you apply through the Revenue Department, and eJami lets you see the mutation request status.
- After a purchase: once the deed is registered, apply for mutation so the Khatian shows your name.
- After a death: heirs apply with the death certificate and proof of succession.
- Wrong entry: a spelling, area or plot error is corrected on application to the revenue office, usually after a check and a notice.
If someone objects to your mutation, the revenue officer hears it before deciding, and an order against you can be challenged before the higher revenue authority.
05Tribal belt and TTAADC land
A large part of Tripura is a tribal area governed by the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution. Land there carries protections that ordinary revenue land does not.
- Transfer of land from a member of a Scheduled Tribe to a non-tribal is restricted and usually needs official permission.
- Some tribal land is held under community or customary arrangements rather than a clean individual Khatian.
- Always check whether a plot falls in the TTAADC area and whether a transfer needs District Collector or Council permission before you commit.
A deed over protected tribal land taken without the required permission can be challenged and set aside, so this check matters more here than the usual title search.
06When the record is disputed
Claw is an all-in-one legaltech platform for Indian advocates, law firms, and corporate legal teams, combining AI-based case search, an AI legal assistant (Legal GPT), case management, and compliance automation across all Indian courts and tribunals.
Many record problems are fixed at the revenue office by mutation or correction. But some turn into a real dispute: a mutation is challenged, two people claim the same plot, a boundary is contested, or a transfer of tribal land is attacked as void. A fight over a mutation entry is dealt with by the revenue authorities and can be carried on appeal, while a dispute over ownership, a boundary or the cancellation of a deed goes to the civil court. If your matter reaches a court or revenue tribunal, you can create a FREE Claw account and track it by case number or party name across the forum that hears it, so you see each hearing date and order as it is posted. Claw searches across 9,102 courts, benches and forums and returns results in under 5 seconds, and it does not use your searched names or documents to train its AI models. Tracking a case is information and case management, not legal advice.
Before you buy or when a title looks doubtful, run a case search across Indian courts by the seller name. Before you take on a business partner, a litigation check before a JV or partnership uses the same search, and a possession claim turns on the limitation periods.

08Frequently asked questions
What is the Tripura land records portal?
It is eJami at jami.tripura.gov.in, the Revenue Department web system for Tripura land records. It lets you view the Record of Rights or Khatian, see plot and mouza details, and follow a mutation request, all from the citizen side of the same portal.
What is a Khatian?
The Khatian is Tripura's Record of Rights. For a given holding it lists the recorded holder, the plot (dag) numbers and their area, the land classification and the mouza. It shows who the state treats as the holder on paper, but it is not itself a title deed, so read it with the registered deed.
How do I search for my record?
On eJami, choose the citizen Record of Rights option, then select district, tehsil or revenue circle, and mouza, and enter the khatian or plot (dag) number. If you do not know those numbers, the earlier registered deed or an old land-tax receipt usually carries them.
Can a non-tribal buy land in the TTAADC area?
Transfer of land from a Scheduled Tribe member to a non-tribal in Tripura's tribal belt is restricted and usually needs official permission. Some tribal land is held under community arrangements rather than an individual Khatian. Check whether the plot falls in the TTAADC area and whether the transfer needs permission before you commit.
The record shows the old owner after I bought. Why?
The buyer name reaches the Khatian only after mutation. Registering the sale deed transfers title, but you must separately apply for mutation through the Revenue Department so the record of rights is updated. Until then the Khatian keeps showing the earlier holder.
What if two people claim the same plot?
A genuine ownership or boundary dispute goes to the civil court, while a mutation dispute is dealt with by the revenue authorities and can be appealed. Once there is a case number, you can track it on eCourts or with a free Claw account across the forum that hears it.
