eporcha.gov.bd Guide 2026 – How to Check Bangladesh Land Records Online at eporcha

eporcha.gov.bd (e-পর্চা) is the official digital land record portal of the Government of Bangladesh, operated by the Ministry of Land (ভূমি মন্ত্রণালয়). The name 'porcha' (পর্চা) refers to the official copy of a land record — traditionally a physical paper document issued by the AC Land office. eporcha allows citizens to access and download their land porcha digitally, without visiting any government office.

Key facts about eporcha:

• Launched under the Digital Bangladesh initiative to eliminate corruption in land record access
• Contains records from four major surveys: CS, SA, RS, BS
• Covers records for all 64 districts (though not all mouzas are fully digitised)
• Allows free basic viewing and fee-based download of certified digital copies
• Integrated with the broader BhoomiPRO land management system
• Also accessible at: bl.land.gov.bd (BhoomiPRO interface) and land.gov.bd

For any land transaction, mutation application, or property dispute in Bangladesh, checking eporcha is one of the most important first steps. A land lawyer in Dhaka uses eporcha as a standard verification tool in all property matters.

eporcha.gov.bd offers the following services to citizens:

1. Khatian Search (খতিয়ান অনুসন্ধান): Search for land ownership records by survey type, division, district, upazila, mouza, khatian number, or owner name
2. Dag/Porcha Search (দাগ/পর্চা অনুসন্ধান): Search for individual plot (dag) information by dag number to see which khatians include that plot and the land classification and area
3. Mutation Status Check (নামজারি স্ট্যাটাস): Track the status of pending mutation (namjari) applications using the case number
4. Online Certified Copy Application: Apply for and pay for certified digital copies of khatians and porchas — in districts where available, these are digitally signed and legally valid
5. Land Record History: In some districts, view the historical chain of ownership from CS to current BS records
6. Map Integration: In select areas, land records are linked to digital maps allowing visual boundary verification

Additional services being rolled out include online mutation application, online appeal of AC Land office decisions, and integration with the Sub-Registrar deed registration system.

Follow these detailed steps to find and view a khatian record on eporcha.gov.bd:

1. Open your browser and go to eporcha.gov.bd or land.gov.bd
2. From the homepage, click "খতিয়ান" (Khatian) under the Citizen Services section
3. You will see a search form with the following fields:
   • জরিপ (Survey Type): Select CS, SA, RS, or BS
   • বিভাগ (Division): Select your division (e.g., Dhaka, Chittagong, Rajshahi)
   • জেলা (District): Select your district
   • উপজেলা (Upazila): Select the Upazila or Thana
   • মৌজা (Mouza): Select the mouza — type the first letter to filter
4. After selecting the mouza, enter either:
   • খতিয়ান নম্বর (Khatian Number) — most reliable search
   • মালিকের নাম (Owner Name) — search by partial name if you don't have the khatian number
5. Enter the captcha and click খুঁজুন (Search)
6. From the results list, click on the correct khatian to view the full record
7. The full khatian shows the owner's details, all dag numbers, area per dag, and land classification

💡 Pro tip: If searching by name, the system searches for exact matches. If the name has a Bengali spelling variation (e.g., মোঃ vs মো.), try both. A property lawyer can help navigate difficult or incomplete records.

A dag-based search is useful when you know the plot number but not the khatian number:

1. On eporcha.gov.bd, select "পর্চা" (Porcha) or "দাগ তথ্য" (Dag Information)
2. Select the Survey type (RS is most commonly used for this search)
3. Select Division, District, Upazila, and Mouza
4. Enter the Dag Number (দাগ নম্বর)
5. Submit the search

The porcha result shows:

• All khatians that contain this dag number
• Land classification (শ্রেণী) — agricultural, homestead, water body, etc.
• Total area of the dag
• Area owned under each khatian (if the dag is split between multiple owners)

Critical alert: If a single dag number appears under more than one khatian, this could mean:

• The land is co-owned by multiple people (each has a separate khatian for their share)
• There is a fraudulent duplicate claim on the same plot — a serious red flag requiring legal investigation

Do not purchase land where the dag appears in a khatian belonging to someone other than the seller, without consulting a land lawyer in Dhaka first.

If you have applied for land mutation (namjari) at the AC Land office, you can track the status online without visiting:

1. Go to eporcha.gov.bd → Select "নামজারি স্ট্যাটাস" (Mutation Status)
2. Select your Division, District, and Upazila
3. Enter your Mutation Case Number (নামজারি কেস নং) — this was given to you when you submitted the application
4. Click Search

The status will show one of the following stages:

• আবেদন গৃহীত (Application Received): Your application is in the system
• পরিদর্শনাধীন (Under Inspection): AC Land office is conducting physical site verification
• শুনানির তারিখ (Hearing Scheduled): A date has been set for the mutation hearing
• আপত্তি দাখিল (Objection Filed): Someone has objected to your mutation — requires legal response
• আদেশ প্রদান (Order Passed): The AC Land officer has made a decision (approval or rejection)
• খতিয়ান ইস্যু (Khatian Issued): Your new khatian in your name has been created — mutation complete

If your mutation has been stuck at "Under Inspection" or "Objection Filed" for weeks, a land lawyer can follow up at the AC Land office and respond to any objections on your behalf.

In addition to viewing records, eporcha allows you to apply for officially certified copies in districts where this service is available:

1. Search for and find your khatian or porcha record
2. Click "সার্টিফাইড কপির জন্য আবেদন করুন" (Apply for Certified Copy)
3. Register or log in with your mobile number
4. Fill in the application form and verify your identity
5. Pay the required government fee via bKash, Nagad, mobile banking, or bank transfer
6. Submit the application
7. A digitally signed certified copy is generated — you can download and print this

Is a digitally certified eporcha copy legally valid?

• For general reference, bank verification, and mutation applications: Yes, digitally signed eporcha copies are now widely accepted
• For court proceedings: The requirement varies by court. Some courts accept digitally signed copies; others still require a physical certified copy with stamp and wet signature from the AC Land office. Your lawyer will advise based on the specific court and case

The Bangladesh government has released a mobile app version of eporcha for easier access on smartphones:

• App name: eporcha (e-পর্চা)
• Available on: Google Play Store (Android) and Apple App Store (iOS)
• Official publisher: Ministry of Land, Government of Bangladesh

Features of the eporcha mobile app:

• Search khatian by survey type, district, and name — same as the website
• Porcha (dag) information lookup
• Mutation status tracking
• Save frequently accessed khatians for quick reference
• Share khatian details via messaging apps

⚠️ Warning: Several fake "eporcha" apps exist on the Play Store that are not government-authorised. Always verify the publisher is listed as the Ministry of Land, Bangladesh before downloading. Fake apps may steal your personal information.

As of 2026, eporcha has made significant progress in digitising land records across Bangladesh:

• Fully or largely digitised: Dhaka, Chittagong, Rajshahi, Khulna, Sylhet, Narayanganj, Gazipur, Comilla, Bogura — major urban and suburban districts
• Partially digitised: Most other districts have partial coverage — urban/semi-urban mouzas are digitised but many rural mouzas are not yet available online
• Least coverage: Remote areas of Sylhet's Haor regions, parts of Mymensingh, and Chittagong Hill Tracts — physical office visits required

If your mouza does not appear in the dropdown menu on eporcha, it has not yet been digitised. In this case:

1. Visit the AC Land office (সহকারী কমিশনার ভূমি অফিস) for your upazila in person
2. Request a certified physical copy of the khatian from the land record room (রেকর্ড রুম)
3. Alternatively, hire a land lawyer to obtain the records on your behalf

Citizens are often confused between eporcha.gov.bd, land.gov.bd, and bl.land.gov.bd. Here is a clear explanation:

• land.gov.bd: The main Ministry of Land portal — the gateway to all land services. It links to eporcha and other sub-services. Think of it as the front door.
• eporcha.gov.bd: The dedicated land record (khatian, porcha, dag) viewing and certified copy system. This is the core database tool for checking records.
• bl.land.gov.bd: BhoomiPRO — the backend integrated land management system. Accessible to citizens in some districts for more advanced services including online mutation applications.

For practical purposes, start at land.gov.bd and follow the links to the service you need — whether that is a khatian search (which routes to eporcha) or mutation status (which may route to BhoomiPRO).

If you encounter problems using eporcha.gov.bd, here are the most common issues and their solutions:

• Mouza not found in dropdown: The mouza is not yet digitised. Visit AC Land office in person.
• Khatian shows wrong owner name: The record may have a data entry error from the digitisation process. Request correction at the AC Land office with supporting documents.
• Website unavailable (502/503 error): Government portals experience downtime. Try again during off-peak hours (early morning or late evening).
• Captcha not loading: Disable browser extensions or try a different browser (Chrome works best).
• Search returns no results: Check spelling of mouza name (try partial name), verify you selected the correct survey type, or try searching by dag number instead of khatian number.
• Payment failed for certified copy: Use a different mobile banking service or contact the helpline at land.gov.bd for assistance.

For persistent issues or legally important records that you cannot access online, consult Advocate Md. Shah Alam — our office assists with certified land record retrieval and verification in Dhaka and surrounding districts.

Basic khatian and porcha viewing at eporcha.gov.bd is free of charge. Digitally certified copies require payment of a nominal government fee, which can be paid via bKash, Nagad, or other mobile banking services.

Your khatian number should appear in any registered deed for the land. If you don't have a deed, search by owner name on eporcha and browse results for your mouza. Alternatively, the AC Land office can locate the khatian if you know the approximate location of the land.

Online mutation application is being rolled out in select districts through the BhoomiPRO system (bl.land.gov.bd). As of 2026, full online mutation applications are available in most urban districts. Rural and remote districts may still require a physical visit to the AC Land office.

Every mouza has a unique JL (Jurisdiction List) number assigned by the government. This number is sometimes needed for precise searching. The JL number appears in registered deeds and can be confirmed at the AC Land office or by searching the mouza name on eporcha's district mouza list.

For Dhaka city and Uttara, the BS (Bangladesh Survey) khatian is most current where available. RS Khatian is the most common reference for older areas. Start with RS, and if available, also check BS. The Sub-Registrar or AC Land office for Uttara can confirm which surveys are complete for your specific mouza.
