Local Terminology in Bihar

These are the document names you'll see on the portal and at the local revenue office — all refer to your land record:

Khatian Jamabandi Khasra Register II

Step 2: Get a Certified Valuation

Your Khatian / Jamabandi proves ownership, but not market value. Send it to RV Yashkumar Jasani — Government Approved Registered Valuer — for a certified valuation report accepted by banks, courts, tax authorities, and embassies across India.

Documents You'll Need for a Valuation in Bihar

The same checklist applies to every district and municipal corporation in Bihar. Gather these before you contact the valuer, or send whatever you already have and ask about the rest:

  1. Your current Khatian / Jamabandi — a recently dated copy from Bihar Bhumi; most banks and courts want one issued within the last 90 days.
  2. The revenue survey map (naksha) for the plot.
  3. ID proof of the land owner — Aadhaar or PAN.
  4. Mutation entries or the ownership chain, if the land has changed hands.
  5. A purpose-specific document, if it applies to you — a bank's sanction letter, a project approval letter for tower or power-line compensation, or a draft sale agreement for a buying or selling valuation.

Missing something? Send what you have — the valuer's office will tell you exactly what else is required for your specific purpose.
