Land Registrations without Pattadar Passbooks in Andhra Pradesh – 2016

The Government of Andhra Pradesh has almost done away with the system of pattadar passbooks while registering the lands in the state. The Government has made amendments to the relevant acts to implement this from 1st July 2016. Farmers and other land owners do not need pattadar passbooks to sell and register their lands.

The decision has been taken considering the online availability of all the land records for all the districts and villages. The Mee Bhoomi portal has been launched to cross check and verify the land records.

Mee Bhoomi, a digital depository of land records, making all agricultural land details along with Adangal/ Pahani and 1-B details, available to the people online and also to the banks and other public authorities. Banks also have been instructed to check the details online only instead of asking for passbooks while sanctioning crop loans.

The Government has made it clear that the pattadar passbooks are not mandatory for the farmers to get their agricultural lands registered in the state as well as to avail crop loans from the banks. The Government has recently passed Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books (Amendment) Act, 2016, amending the AP Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, 1971 to this effect.

Revenue officials will do the registrations and mutations as per the available land records on the internet / maa bhoomi / webland portal. The owners of agricultural lands can obtain physical copy of the Passbook / Title Deed if required but not mandatory. The pattadar passbooks are available in electronic form.
