eKhajana
If you have paid your land tax (Khajana) online in Assam, the most important step is to download the official Land Revenue Receipt (also called the Khajana Rashid). This receipt is your legal proof that you have cleared all tax liabilities for your land plot for the year. Many people make the payment but don't know how to save the PDF copy.
Here, I will explain the step-by-step method to download your land revenue receipt online from the Sewa Setu portal. It is very simple and takes only two minutes.
Why Do You Need a Khajana Receipt?
The Land Revenue Receipt is not just a tax receipt. It is required for many legal and financial works in Assam, such as:
- Applying for new land registration or mutation (Namjari).
- Buying or selling land (it proves there are no tax dues).
- Applying for agricultural bank loans (KCC) or home loans.
- Converting annual land patta (Eksonia) into periodic patta (Myadi).
- Applying for land partition (Bhag-Batora) under Mission Basundhara.
- Applying for caste certificates, income certificates, or PRC (Permanent Residence Certificate).
- Settling land-related disputes at the revenue court.
In short, the Khajana receipt is one of the most fundamental land documents in Assam. Without it, most land-related government services will not proceed. This is why every landowner in Assam should have an up-to-date digital copy stored safely.
What is an RTPS Case Number?
When you submit an e-Khajana application on Sewa Setu, the system generates an RTPS Case Number (like RTPS/EKRL/2025/XXXX). This is your unique application tracking number. You need this number to download your receipt after the payment is processed and the status shows "DISPOSED". Keep this number noted safely — without it, downloading your receipt becomes difficult.
Steps to Download Land Revenue Receipt Online
To download your receipt, you must have your RTPS Case Number (like RTPS/EKRL/2025/XXXX) ready. This number was generated when you submitted the application.
Follow these steps to download the receipt:
- First, open your browser and visit the official website: https://sewasetu.assam.gov.in.
- Scroll down on the homepage and look for the Track Application button or directly go to your citizen login dashboard.
- If you choose to track directly, enter your Application Reference Number (RTPS number) in the search box.
- Click on the Track button.
- A page will load showing the details of your application. Check the Status column.
- If the status shows UNDER PROCESS, you must wait for verification.
- If the status shows DISPOSED, it means your payment is successfully recorded and the receipt is ready.
- Once the status shows DISPOSED, scroll to the bottom of the page. You will see a link saying "Download Certificate / Receipt".
- Click on it, and your official government-signed Land Revenue Receipt will download as a PDF file on your mobile or computer.
How to Download Receipt if You Lost Your RTPS Number?
If you have lost your RTPS Case Number, do not panic. Try these approaches:
- Check your email: If you entered your email during application, you should have received an automated acknowledgment with the RTPS number.
- Check your SMS: Sewa Setu sends an SMS with the reference number to your registered mobile number.
- Login to your Sewa Setu account: Log in using your registered mobile number and go to "My Applications" to find all past applications and their RTPS numbers.
- Visit the circle office: As a last resort, visit your revenue circle office with your Patta/Dag details. The staff can search the database and help you retrieve your application reference.
What if the Download Button is Not Showing?
Sometimes even after the status shows "DISPOSED", the download button may not appear. This can happen due to:
- Browser compatibility issues: Try opening the page in Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox instead of other browsers.
- Ad-blockers: Some browser ad-blockers can interfere with PDF download links. Try temporarily disabling your ad-blocker.
- Server-side delay: Occasionally, the document generation takes a few extra hours after approval. Wait 24 hours and try again.
- Pop-up blocked: The PDF may open in a new tab. Make sure your browser allows pop-ups from sewasetu.assam.gov.in.
Common Problems & Troubleshooting
- Status stuck at "Under Process" for many days: This means the Mouzadar or Lot Mandal has not yet approved the payment. Visit your local Mouzadar in person with the acknowledgment receipt.
- Money debited but payment showing failed: Check the e-GRN status on the e-GRAS portal (assamegras.gov.in). If the e-GRN shows "Success", your payment has reached the treasury even if Sewa Setu shows a different status. The receipt will be generated once the status synchronizes.
- Downloaded PDF is blank or corrupted: This is a technical glitch. Try downloading with a different browser or device. You can also clear the browser cache (Ctrl+Shift+Delete) before trying again.
Pro Tips
- Save your Khajana receipt in Google Drive or Dropbox so you never lose it. Name the file clearly (e.g., "Khajana_2024-25_DagNo-45.pdf") for easy future reference.
- Pay your Khajana before March 31st each year to avoid penalties and ensure your receipt reflects the current financial year.
- Keep a folder on your phone with all land documents: Patta copy, Jamabandi, Khajana receipt, and sale deed. This saves time during any emergency.
- After downloading, check that the receipt shows the correct land area, Patta number, financial year, and paid amount. Report discrepancies to your circle office immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many years of Khajana can I pay at once?
The Sewa Setu e-Khajana system allows you to pay dues for multiple past years in a single transaction. The Mouzadar will calculate all unpaid years and enter the total due amount. You pay it all at once, and a single receipt is generated covering all years paid.
Q: Is the online Khajana receipt valid for bank loans?
Yes, the digitally signed Khajana receipt downloaded from Sewa Setu is valid for most banks and cooperative societies in Assam for loan applications. Some banks may also ask for the original physical Jamabandi along with the receipt.
Q: What is the last date to pay land revenue in Assam?
The Assam land revenue year runs from April 1 to March 31. There is no specific last date, but paying before March 31st each financial year helps avoid any late-payment penalties or issues during land transactions.
Q: Can I download old receipts from previous years?
Yes, if you applied and paid through the Sewa Setu portal in previous years, those application records should still be accessible through your citizen account under "My Applications". You can download the corresponding receipts from there.
Q: My Khajana is paid but the receipt shows someone else's name. What do I do?
This likely means the mutation (Namjari) was not done before the Khajana was registered. The old owner's name may still be in the records. Apply for Namjari under Mission Basundhara immediately. After approval, your name will reflect correctly on future receipts.
Conclusion
Downloading your Land Revenue Receipt (Khajana Rashid) online from the Sewa Setu portal is a simple two-minute process once your payment is processed. Always download and save your receipt immediately after the status changes to DISPOSED. This small habit protects you from future disputes, simplifies loan applications, and keeps your land records clean. Never ignore your annual land tax — it is a small amount but a critical legal obligation for every landowner in Assam.
Troubleshooting Receipt Download Issues
Sometimes, even after your payment status shows SUCCESS, you might face issues while downloading the receipt. Here is how to fix them:
- Popup Blocked: Next.js and Sewa Setu often open the receipt PDF in a new tab. If your browser blocks popups, the download will not trigger. Enable popups in your browser settings.
- PDF is Corrupted/Blank: This happens due to network disruptions during the download. Go back to the dashboard, clear your browser cache, and click 'Download' again.
- Transaction Success but Status is Pending: Sometimes the bank takes up to 48 hours to reconcile the transaction. Wait for 2 days, and if it still does not update, contact the Sewa Setu helpdesk with your transaction ID.
