Meebhoomi AP 1B: How to Check Your Land Record Online
If you own land in Andhra Pradesh, the 1-B record tells you exactly what the government has on file about your survey number, its owner and its extent. This guide explains what 1-B is, how it differs from Adangal, how to check it on the Meebhoomi portal, and what to do if something in the record looks wrong.
What is Meebhoomi AP?
Meebhoomi, meaning “our land” in Telugu, is the digital land records portal launched by the Andhra Pradesh Revenue Department. You can access it directly at meebhoomi.ap.gov.in. It lets residents view records such as Adangal, 1-B, village maps, Field Measurement Book (FMB) sketches, mutation status and, in some cases, ROFR (Records of Forest Rights) details, all from home rather than visiting the Mandal Revenue Office in person. For a broader look at how Pahani-style records work across Andhra Pradesh, see our Andhra Pradesh Pahani guide.
What is the 1-B record?
The 1-B, sometimes written as “1B” or “Adangal 1-B,” is a land record extract tied to a specific survey number in a village. It typically shows:
- Owner or pattadar name
- Survey number and sub-division
- Extent (area) of the land
- Land classification, such as wet, dry or garden land
- Assessment or land revenue details
- Possession and cultivation status
In short, 1-B is the record you would check to confirm who officially holds a piece of land and how large it is, before any transaction or loan application.
Adangal vs 1-B: what’s the difference?
These two terms are often used together, which causes confusion. Here’s the practical difference:
| Record | Main focus |
|---|---|
| Adangal | Season-wise crop and cultivation details for a survey number |
| 1-B | Ownership, extent, classification and revenue details for a survey number |
On the Meebhoomi portal, both are usually available from the same search screen, so you can view them together for a complete picture of a survey number.
How to check Meebhoomi AP 1-B online
- Visit the official portal. Open meebhoomi.ap.gov.in directly, and avoid third-party links or apps claiming to offer the same service.
- Choose the Adangal / 1-B service. Look for the option to view Adangal or 1-B records on the homepage.
- Select district, mandal and village. Pick these from the dropdowns in order.
- Enter the survey number. If you don’t know it, some search options allow you to look up by pattadar name instead.
- Enter the captcha and submit. Type the characters shown correctly.
- Review the record. The 1-B or Adangal details will be displayed on screen.
- Download or print. Save the record as a PDF for your reference. For legal or official use, request a certified copy from the Mandal Revenue Office.
Understanding the 1-B columns
| Column | What it means |
|---|---|
| Pattadar name | The recorded owner of the land |
| Survey number | Unique number identifying the land parcel |
| Extent | Area of the land, usually in acres and cents |
| Classification | Whether the land is wet (irrigated), dry, or garden land |
| Assessment | Land revenue amount linked to the survey number |
| Possession | Who is currently cultivating or occupying the land |
Found an error in your 1-B? Here’s what to do
- Take a printout or screenshot of the incorrect entry.
- Collect supporting documents, such as the registered sale deed, previous 1-B copy and identity proof.
- Visit the Mandal Revenue Office (MRO) and submit a written correction request.
- Keep the acknowledgement number and follow up after a few weeks.
- If the issue is not resolved, escalate to the Revenue Divisional Officer (RDO).
Common problems and fixes
The portal is slow or not loading
Try accessing it early morning or late evening when traffic is lower, and try a different browser.
My survey number shows no record
Double-check the village and mandal selected, since boundaries can differ from what locals commonly use. If the land is genuinely not digitised yet, contact the local revenue office.
The owner name or extent looks wrong
Follow the correction process described above at the MRO office.
Adangal and 1-B show different extents
This can happen when cultivation records and revenue records haven’t been reconciled. Raise this specifically with the MRO, since it affects both records.
Before you buy land in Andhra Pradesh
A clean 1-B record is a good sign, but it shouldn’t be the only check before you buy land.
- Confirm the pattadar name in 1-B matches the seller’s name on the sale deed.
- Check the Adangal for cultivation and possession history.
- Verify the FMB sketch and village map to confirm boundaries.
- Get an encumbrance certificate to rule out existing loans or disputes.
- Visit the land physically to confirm possession matches the record.
- For significant purchases, involve a lawyer familiar with AP land records.
