Owning or buying land is one of the most important financial decisions in anyone’s life, and having clear, updated land records plays a key role in ensuring transparency and security. In Assam, land records—also known as Jamabandi, Patta, and Dag details—serve as official proof of ownership and help citizens verify property details before making any transaction.
Traditionally, people had to visit their local Circle Office or Revenue Department to access these records, which often meant long queues and time‑consuming paperwork. To make the process faster and more convenient, the Government of Assam has digitized land records through the Dharitree portal, allowing citizens to check information online from the comfort of their homes.
In this guide, we will walk you through the step‑by‑step process of checking land records in Assam, both online and offline, along with essential information you need to know before buying, selling, or managing property in the state.
