I farm in Karnataka but my relatives have land in Telangana and Andhra. What are the online land record systems in the southern states?

The southern states have their own land record portals and the record is generally called the pahani or RTC (record of rights, tenancy and crops), or simply the RoR. Karnataka has its long-running land records system where you can view the RTC by district, taluka, hobli, village and survey number. Telangana and Andhra Pradesh have integrated land record portals where you can view the pahana or adangal and the RoR by survey number or owner name. The general steps are the same: open the official state land records portal, select the location and survey number, and view the record on screen for free. For an official certified copy, look for the signed or certified RTC option, which carries a small fee. As always, the exact portal name and link can change, so confirm the current website and the certified copy process at your local revenue office or village accountant. This is general guidance.
In Karnataka I view my RTC online before every loan. The village accountant gives the signed copy when the bank needs it. Searching by survey number is the fastest.
