A Khasra Number is a unique number assigned to a specific plot of agricultural land in a village or rural area, used in revenue records to identify and track land parcels. It is part of the official land records maintained by the revenue department under state land revenue laws. For example, in Gujarat it is maintained according to the Gujarat Land Revenue Code, 1879. The khasra number helps in identifying the exact boundaries, size, and ownership of a piece of land. Each plot in a village or area is given a separate khasra number, and the number is recorded in documents such as the Record of Rights (RTC or Pahani) and land revenue registers. It is commonly used in transactions such as land sale, mutation (ownership change), agricultural loans, property disputes, and land surveys. Along with the survey number and village name, the khasra number acts as an official reference to locate and identify the land in government records. In simple terms, a khasra number is like a “land ID number” that ensures a particular plot of land can be uniquely recognized in the official revenue system.
