How to get Official Certified copy using Bhulekh Assam
When you go to the bank to take a loan or do any official transaction, you are asked for an official copy of the land.
In this situation, many people who don’t know about Assam’s land records become very worried and often have to run around.
But if you have a smartphone, you can obtain an official, certified copy of your land online. Let’s find out how.

Now the question arises: what should you do if a certified copy of your land isn’t available on the online portal? Because records for some lands aren’t available on the Bhulekh Assam portal. In such a situation, you’ll have to resort to offline access.
In such a case, you have to apply to the local Circle Office / Revenue Office and get a certified copy, for which you will have to pay some fees.
Mutation / Namjari
Mutation of any land is crucial. This is necessary because whenever a piece of land is sold, gifted, or changes owners due to court/consent, the new owner will not be officially recorded without mutation.
And when you move into a house or construct any other project on that land, you may encounter obstacles. Therefore, land mutation is essential.
This often requires a long journey to government offices, and sometimes even significant expenditure. However, this facility is now available on the Bhulekh Assam portal.
- First of all you have to go to BhulekhAssam.com portal.
- Now here you have to click on the link ILRMS/Dharitree.
- Now you will see the link of “Apply for Mutation / Namjari” service, you have to click on it.
- After this you will get a form which you will have to fill.
- To fill this form, you will need necessary documents like (sale deed / will / succession certificate / inheritance papers / ID proof) etc.
- Upload all the required documents or submit them offline.
- Then pay the prescribed fee, after this you will get an application number through which you can track it.
This way, you can apply for mutation in Assam’s Bhulekh. However, keep in mind that the fees can vary.
Because some people quote exaggerated fees offline, the fees remain the same online. Therefore, you should seek online assistance.
