Asked from: Uttar Pradesh

Tehsildar rectifies mistakes in land records, as empowered under the Uttar Pradesh Land Revenue Code 2006. The procedure for correction of mistakes in Khatauni is simple, but it requires relevant evidence to be submitted along with the application. Section 38 of the Revenue Code provides a complete procedure for rectification of mistakes, which should be followed by the applicant.

The Collector periodically updates the land records, including field books, record of rights, maps, etc. However, some mistakes may occur during this process, or from the beginning of the alienation of rights. In such cases, rectification of mistakes is necessary to ensure accurate land records.

If the mistake occurred during the updation of records, the applicant should produce certified copies of two subsequent records (Fasli Year) and inform the Tehsildar. The Tehsildar will then send a report to the SDM for correction in the revenue record. Only certified copies of two consecutive Fasli years record are sufficient to enable the revenue officer to rectify the mistake.

In cases where the mistake occurred from the beginning of the right, the applicant should present relevant evidence in support of the correction. For example, if the name of the tenure holder is wrongly entered in the records, the applicant must produce evidence such as educational records, family register, PAN card, AADHAR card, etc. These documents are relevant to prove the correct name of the tenure holder.

It is essential to follow the complete procedure as provided in the Uttar Pradesh Land Revenue Code 2006 for correction of name in khatauni i.e. revenue records. Accurate land records are crucial for land-related transactions, and it is the responsibility of the Tehsildar to ensure that they are error-free.

सर मेरे आधार में सुरेंद्र नाथ मालवीय दर्ज परंतु खतौनी में केवल सुरेंद्र नाथ दर्ज है। क्या किसान आईडी बनेगी?

यदि आधार कार्ड में पिता का नाम और ग्राम का नाम खतौनी में वर्णित पिता के नाम और पते में कोई भिन्नता नहीं है तो किसान आईडी कार्ड बन जायेगा। खतौनी में खातेदार के पिता का नाम और ग्राम का नाम भी दर्ज रहता है यदि ये दोनों जानकारियां सही है तो खतौनी में केवल "मालवीय" टाइटल नहीं होने से कोई समस्या नहीं आएगा।
