To apply for land demarcation in India, you need to request the government revenue authority to officially measure and mark the boundaries of your land according to land records. The procedure is governed by state land revenue laws, for example in Gujarat it is regulated under the Gujarat Land Revenue Code, 1879 and related survey rules. The general process begins with submitting an application to the local revenue office such as the Talati, Circle Officer, or Mamlatdar office depending on the state system. The application should include details of the land such as survey number, village name, taluka, district, and purpose of demarcation. You usually need to attach documents such as a copy of land ownership record or record of rights, identity proof of the applicant, property map if available, and any relevant documents related to disputes if demarcation is required due to boundary issues. A prescribed government fee must also be paid along with the application. After submission, the revenue authority schedules a site visit. A government surveyor or official visits the land, measures it using official records and maps, and marks the boundaries on the ground. Nearby landowners may also be informed or called during the process to avoid disputes. Once the demarcation is completed, an official report or measurement sketch is prepared and provided. This document can be used as legal evidence in case of disputes or for future transactions such as sale, fencing, or construction.
