If you searched for “Adangal” or “1-B”, begin with the question you are trying to answer. These records can be useful, but they do not do the same job and neither should be treated as a title certificate.
Use Adangal when you need to understand the revenue or cultivation details associated with agricultural land. Use a ROR 1-B when you need to inspect the revenue entry connected to a pattadar, khata or survey holding. For a registered sale, mortgage or transaction history, use the registration side of Andhra Pradesh property records instead.
The practical difference
| If you need to know… | Start by checking | What it cannot settle alone |
|---|---|---|
| How the agricultural land is recorded or used | Adangal | Legal title or every claim to the parcel |
| The revenue entry associated with a holder or survey holding | ROR 1-B | A complete chain of title |
| The physical outline or measurement of the land | FMB or LP map | A disputed boundary without an official survey |
| Registered transactions or encumbrances | An EC or registered-document search | Unregistered claims or title validity |
The right record depends on the task. A similar-sounding document can be the wrong starting point, especially when a family is checking inherited agricultural land from another city or country.
Use MeeBhoomi as the current entry point
MeeBhoomi identifies itself as the Andhra Pradesh Revenue Department’s land-record portal. At the time this guide was reviewed, the live screen presented mobile-number login and OTP access, and listed services for transaction mutation, correction mutation, Aadhaar seeding and land conversion for non-agricultural use.
That means a generic article telling you that every view is public, free and available without login may already be stale. Follow the live official flow. Do not give an OTP to someone offering to retrieve or alter a record on your behalf, and do not enter land or identity details on a look-alike domain.
Before you start, collect:
- district, mandal and village;
- survey number and subdivision exactly as they appear on the registered document;
- the pattadar or family name, including spelling variants where relevant;
- the registered deed, older passbook or earlier record you need to compare; and
- any application, receipt or prior order if a correction has already been attempted.
If you have the survey number and revenue village to hand, our free AP Adangal and 1-B check starts the lookup from those details and saves the land against your account. The portal’s own OTP step still applies.
Read a result as evidence, not a verdict
When you find a record, compare the owner or pattadar name, survey number, subdivision, extent and classification with the documents you hold. Save a dated copy of the result, but do not leap from a clean-looking screen to “the title is clear”.
Revenue entries can be important evidence. They do not themselves create or transfer title. For a purchase, inheritance, mortgage, court dispute or boundary issue, review the registered deed and the wider document chain with a qualified professional. How to verify property title in India explains why a revenue record is one part of due diligence, not its conclusion.
What to do when the record is wrong
The live MeeBhoomi screen lists Mutation for Correction as a revenue service. The correct route depends on what is wrong: a name, a survey number, extent, classification, inheritance detail or another entry can require different evidence.
Take a disciplined first step:
- Save the portal result with the date and the identifiers you used.
- Put it beside the registered deed and any previous revenue document.
- Note the exact mismatch rather than describing it only as “the land record is wrong”.
- Check the live MeeBhoomi or revenue-office instructions for the appropriate current correction route.
- Take legal advice before filing where the mismatch affects title, a government classification, an assigned-land question, inheritance or an existing dispute.
For the wider distinction between registration and a later revenue update, read mutation, khata and patta. If you need the registered-transaction history, use the IGRS Andhra Pradesh EC guide rather than expecting MeeBhoomi to answer it.
When an FMB or LP map is the better document
An Adangal or 1-B can describe a holding, but a map is often more useful when the real question is where the parcel sits or how it relates to its neighbours. MeeBhoomi’s public title refers to survey numbers and LP maps alongside Adangal and 1-B.
Still, a displayed map is not a substitute for an official ground survey. If a boundary, encroachment or extent is disputed, preserve the record, obtain the relevant official survey material and seek professional advice before taking action. Our FMB and land-parcel guide explains what a map can and cannot establish.
For remote owners and NRIs
Portal access does not remove the practical constraints. A particular service can require a live Indian mobile number, OTP, login, documents, a local office or an authorised representative. A Power of Attorney needs to be reviewed for the specific step it is meant to cover. This guide is educational information, not legal or tax advice.
For rural agricultural land in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, Assetly can help you review possible record matches by owner or family name when the survey number is unclear. It does not establish legal ownership, retrieve every record or replace MeeBhoomi, the revenue office or professional advice.
