The way Karnataka manages land records has changed fundamentally over the past two decades. The Bhoomi portal, launched by the state government, replaced a fragmented paper-based system with a centralized, transparent digital platform. At the heart of this system is the RTC — Records of Rights, Tenancy, and Crops — commonly known as Pahani. For farmers, property buyers, and investors alike, the RTC is the foundational document for establishing land rights, securing loans, and resolving disputes.

The Bhoomi portal brings together a wide range of land administration services under one platform. Here are the most important ones and what they allow you to do:
Any citizen can view a basic RTC free of charge on the portal. However, for official purposes — bank loans, property registration, or legal proceedings — you will need an i-RTC (Intelligent RTC). This is a digitally signed certificate issued through the portal that carries the same legal authority as a physical copy stamped by the Tehsildar's office. It is accepted by banks, courts, and government departments across Karnataka.
Mutation is the process by which land ownership records are officially updated following a change — whether through a sale, inheritance, or gift deed. Without a completed mutation, the new owner's name will not appear in government records, which can create complications for loans and future transactions.
For anyone conducting property due diligence — whether buying land or resolving a boundary dispute — visual records are as important as written ones. The portal provides access to two types:
Agricultural land in Karnataka cannot be used for residential or commercial construction without prior government approval. The Bhoomi portal facilitates Affidavit-Based Land Conversion online, allowing landowners to submit their application, pay the required fees, and track the approval status — all without visiting a government office.

| Stakeholder | Key Benefit |
|---|---|

| Property Buyers | Verify seller ownership, check for restricted land classifications, and confirm there are no active legal disputes before purchase. |
| Investors | Conduct instant due diligence on plot boundaries, land use classification, and conversion status before committing to a transaction. |
| Banks & Lenders | Independently verify land ownership and check for encumbrances when processing agricultural and home loan applications. |
