Land Record in Andhra Pradesh — Adangal and 1B (ROR) on Mee Bhoomi

What is a land record in Andhra Pradesh?

A land record in Andhra Pradesh is the Revenue Department's register entry for a survey number in a village, and it comes in two main forms that people constantly mix up:

• The Adangal, the village account for each survey number, showing the extent, the classification of the land, the person in cultivation, the nature of possession and the season-by-season crop details.
• The 1B, also written ROR-1B, the Record of Rights, showing who holds the land, in what extent and under what title.

The Adangal describes the land; the 1B names the rights. A bank assessing a crop loan wants the Adangal for cultivation evidence, a buyer's advocate wants the 1B for who holds it, and most transactions in the state end up needing both.

The Revenue Department, Government of Andhra Pradesh, maintains these records under the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration (CCLA) at Mangalagiri, and publishes them on Mee Bhoomi at meebhoomi.ap.gov.in. Mee Bhoomi reports well over 16.7 crore revenue record views, which gives a sense of how routinely the state's farmers and buyers use it.

One correction worth making early: Dharani is Telangana's portal, not Andhra Pradesh's. The two states separated in 2014 and built different systems. An Andhra Pradesh survey number will not be found on Dharani.

What can you get on Mee Bhoomi?

According to the Mee Bhoomi portal of the Revenue Department, the services available include:

• Adangal. The land record with cultivation and crop detail.
• 1B (ROR-1B). The Record of Rights view.
• LP Map, the land parcel and village survey map showing where a survey number sits.
• Mutation, for transactions and for corrections to the record.
• Aadhaar seeding: linking the pattadar's Aadhaar number to the land record.
• Land conversion, for converting agricultural land to non-agricultural use.
• Electronic passbook download. The digital form of the pattadar passbook.

Access is by mobile number, Aadhaar or official credentials, and Mee Bhoomi also runs a chatbot for service queries.

Who can get an Adangal or 1B, and who cannot?

You can obtain the record if:

• You are the recorded pattadar or a joint holder of agricultural land in Andhra Pradesh.
• You are a buyer verifying a survey number before paying an advance.
• You are a legal heir of a deceased pattadar, preparing an inheritance mutation.
• You are a bank, insurer or scheme-verifying department checking landholding and cultivation.
• You are any member of the public doing a plain view. Mee Bhoomi's Adangal and 1B views are public records and do not require the owner's consent.

You cannot get what you are after if:

• You have no survey number and no village. A postal address alone cannot be searched.
• The property is a flat, an urban plot in a municipal layout, or converted non-agricultural land. Those are governed by the municipal property record and the registered deed, not by an Adangal.
• You expect the record to prove title. It is a revenue record, not a conveyance.
• You want your name on the 1B on the strength of a registered deed alone. Without a mutation the record still shows the seller.
• You are searching for encumbrances. Mortgages and charges sit with the Registration and Stamps Department, not on Mee Bhoomi.

How to get an Andhra Pradesh land record online

1. Open meebhoomi.ap.gov.in, the Revenue Department's Mee Bhoomi portal.
2. Choose the service you need from the menu, Adangal, 1B, LP Map, electronic passbook, mutation, Aadhaar seeding or land conversion.
3. Log in where the service requires it, using your mobile number or Aadhaar. Plain Adangal and 1B views are open; transactional services need identification.
4. Select the district, then the mandal, then the village. Andhra Pradesh organises revenue administration by mandal, so there is no tehsil dropdown.
5. Enter the survey number, or identify the holding by the pattadar account or passbook number where the service allows it.
6. Submit and read the record on screen — for the Adangal, the extent, classification, cultivator and crop entries; for the 1B, the pattadar name, the extent held and the nature of the right.
7. Download or print the extract. Save the file rather than only printing it, so you have the date of download on record.
8. Open the LP Map for the same survey number to see the parcel boundary and its neighbours, which is the quickest way to spot that you are looking at the wrong parcel.

The view and download are free. No payment screen appears anywhere in this flow.

How to get the record offline through the Village Secretariat

Andhra Pradesh delivers revenue services through Village Secretariats and Ward Secretariats, and Mee Bhoomi lists the Adangal among the Revenue branch services available through them. This route matters for anyone without a smartphone, and for anything that needs an officer's signature.

1. Go to your Village Secretariat or Ward Secretariat and ask at the Revenue branch. The Village Revenue Officer (VRO) is the first point of contact.
2. Give the survey number, village and mandal, and carry your Aadhaar and, if you have one, the pattadar passbook and the registered deed.
3. Ask for the specific record, Adangal, 1B, or both, and say whether you need a signed copy for a bank or court.
4. Pay only the notified fee for the service, if any is charged, and take the receipt or acknowledgement.
5. For a mutation, file the application with the registered deed, or with the death certificate and heir details for an inheritance case. The VRO conducts the field enquiry and the Tahsildar of the mandal passes the mutation order.
6. Collect the updated record and check that the extent, survey number and spelling of the name are right before you leave.

How do I check status and raise a grievance?

• On Mee Bhoomi, by re-opening the 1B for the survey number: once a mutation is posted, the new pattadar name appears there. That is the only proof that a mutation actually went through.
• Through the mutation service status on the portal, using the application reference given when you applied.
• At the Village or Ward Secretariat, with the acknowledgement from the Revenue branch.
• Escalation chain: the Village Revenue Officer, then the Revenue Inspector, then the Tahsildar of the mandal, then the Revenue Divisional Officer, then the District Collector, and at state level the office of the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration, Mangalagiri, whose contact details are published on Mee Bhoomi.

Does an Adangal or 1B expire?

Neither record has an expiry date. What changes is the content: crop entries are updated season by season, and a mutation can be posted at any time.

Because of that, banks, insurers and departments in Andhra Pradesh generally ask for a recently downloaded Adangal or 1B rather than an old file copy: commonly one taken out within the last few months. There is no renewal procedure. You simply download a fresh copy from Mee Bhoomi, free of cost, on the day you need it.

Why do Andhra Pradesh land record requests go wrong?

• Wrong mandal or village selected, especially where village names repeat across mandals in the same district.
• Survey number subdivisions ignored, the parent survey number returns a different extent from the specific subdivision you actually bought.
• Mutation never applied for after registration, leaving the seller's name on the 1B for years and blocking the buyer's loan.
• Aadhaar not seeded to the record, which holds up scheme benefits tied to landholding.
• Adangal and 1B mismatch, where the cultivator shown in the Adangal is not the pattadar shown in the 1B. A real signal to investigate, not a clerical slip to ignore.
• Extent mismatch between deed and record, usually from an old partition never carried into the survey.
• Searching Dharani instead of Mee Bhoomi, which finds nothing because Dharani is Telangana's system.
• Treating the record as title and skipping the encumbrance certificate from the Registration Department.

What does it cost, and what should you refuse to pay?

Viewing and downloading the Adangal, 1B, LP map and electronic passbook on Mee Bhoomi is free. No login fee, no per-record charge and no subscription exists on the portal. Where a service is delivered through a Village or Ward Secretariat or a Meeseva counter, the only legitimate charge is the notified fee for that service, collected against a receipt.

Agents around mandal offices in Andhra Pradesh routinely offer to "get the Adangal" or "get the mutation done" for a few hundred to a few thousand rupees. They are opening the same free public portal and filing the same application. There is no paid priority queue for a mutation: the VRO field enquiry, the notice to interested parties and the Tahsildar's order are fixed steps that money cannot compress. Download the record yourself first, it takes about two minutes, and pay only the notified fee at the Secretariat counter for anything that needs a signature. Never hand your original deed or pattadar passbook to an agent, and never share the OTP sent to your mobile or your Aadhaar OTP with anyone offering to file on your behalf.
