Who Assigns the Khasra Number:-

The person responsible for arranging the documents for local land revenue is known as the Lekhpal, and the village Patwari helps him while maintaining the upkeep of land revenue papers. So, in turn, it is the lekhpal and the village Patwari that assigns the numbers for the various plots of land that come under the village.

 Purpose of Khasra number

A khasra number is an identity provided to a land parcel. To access any information about your land, you will have to provide khasra number. Similarly, this is the number that will be used to notify you, in case there is any official communication with regard to your land parcel. This includes land-related frauds that are quite common, especially in rural India.

Khasra Number’s Importance:

Now that we know what is khasra, we must understand the significance of the khasra number.

A khasra number is an essential parameter to establish rights to a property. It is one of the most crucial components of the Sharja document. The Sharja comprises a full map of the village’s territory. This document is prepared and maintained by the Lekhpal and the Patwari respectively.

• The Lekhpal is responsible for preparing the document.
• The Patwari is appointed to maintain and update the record on a regular basis.

Note: The plot number and the khasra number are not usually the same. If a plot or piece of land is sold, gifted, split, or post-mutated, the khasra number changes correspondingly.

For instance, suppose the khasra number allotted to a plot of land is 64. It is later separated into two pieces, and the newly allocated khasra numbers will be 64/1 and 64/2.
