Correction of name in land records

I want correction of name in land records. All the lands devolved upon my father after my grandfather’s death. Some khatauni are bearing the incomplete name of my father. I want to correct those. Kindly advise me what I should do for the same?

You should take certified copies of every khatauni from the collectorate (Collector’s office). Collect evidence which tends to show the full name of your father. Family register, birth certificate, voter identification card, Aadhar card, PAN card etc are valid documents which prove the correct name. 

Attach any of the above-said document with the khatauni which is disclosing the incorrect name of your father. If you have no such documents then you should use the correct khatauni as evidence to prove the full name of your father. This evidence itself proves the full name so you can rely upon it for correction of name in the land records. 

I have given the procedure to get the correction in khatauni. You should read that advice. The land revenue code provides a procedure to remove mistakes from the revenue records. You have to file a suit for such correction. Contact a local advocate to file such suit in the court of Tehsildar.

Question: Sir my name is Vinay Kumar. I’m from Uttar Pradesh, I want to say that in Khatauni my father’s name is correct but accidentally my name is incorrect the name written on Khatauni is Vinod Kumar but the correct name is Vinay Kumar so what should I do to correct the name in khatauni.

You should file an application to the Tehsildar under Section 38 of the Revenue Code for the correction of your name. In that application you should adduce evidence regarding your correct name. You can adduce your PAN card, 10th Marksheet/Certificate or Aadhar Card in support of your correct name.

The Tehsildar shall conduct an inquiry and prepare a report then he’ll send that report to the SDM for further proceedings. Based upon that report the SDM shall correct the Khatauni with your correct name. After the correction you should take a certified copy of the Khatauni for your records.
