How to correct a wrong area or khasra entry in the land record?

A wrong area entry needs to be checked carefully because it can be either a clerical copying error or an actual difference on the ground. The process depends on which it is. If it is a simple clerical mistake where the record does not match earlier records or the deed, you apply to the tehsildar or revenue authority for correction of the entry with your supporting documents (old jamabandi or khatauni, the registered deed, the village map). If the difference is about how much land actually exists on the ground, then a physical measurement or survey (demarcation) is needed, and the corrected area is recorded based on the surveyor's report and the official map. Steps: get certified copies of the current record and earlier records, compare to find where the area changed, then apply for either a clerical correction or a re-measurement depending on the cause, and keep the order and report. Be patient, area corrections sometimes need a field survey and the consent or presence of neighbours. Confirm the application route and fee at your tehsil.
