How to Find Dag and Patta Number by Owner Name on Dharitree

Do you need to pay your land revenue online but do not know your Dag Number or Patta Number? Don't worry! If you do not have your land papers nearby, the Dharitree portal of Assam allows you to search and find these numbers online just by using the Owner's Name (Pattadar Name).

Here is a simple step-by-step guide showing you how to perform this search on your mobile phone.

Why Would You Not Know Your Dag and Patta Numbers?

Many landowners in Assam, especially in rural areas, do not have organized land document storage. It is very common to:

• Lose old Khajana receipts during floods — a recurring problem in Assam's flood-prone districts.
• Inherit land from parents but not have access to the original Patta documents.
• Have land registered in an ancestor's name with documents scattered among family members.
• Have bought land many years ago and misplaced the sale deed or Patta copy.

The name-based search on Dharitree is specifically designed for these situations. As long as you know the approximate village/mouza name and the landowner's name (as it appears in government records), you can retrieve all the land details.

Before You Search

To perform a name-based search, you must know the exact spelling of the owner's name as recorded in the land registration deed. In some cases, you may need to enter the name in the local Assamese script if the English search does not show results.

Also make sure you know:

• The approximate District where the land is located.
• The Revenue Circle name (if known; otherwise you can try different circles for the same district).
• The Village / Mouza name.

If you don't know the exact mouza name, try searching for the general area or ask elderly neighbors who are familiar with the village's administrative name.

Steps to Search Dag/Patta Number by Name

1. First, open your browser and visit the Dharitree portal: https://revenueassam.nic.in/dhar/.
2. Enter the Captcha code displayed on the screen and click Proceed.
3. Select your location details: Choose your District, Circle, and Village/Mouza name.
4. Once the village records load, you will see three search options. Choose the third option: "Search by Pattadar Name".
5. In the search box, type the owner's name. (If you cannot type in Assamese, you can copy the name from a translation tool or use the on-screen virtual keyboard).
6. Enter the Captcha code again and click on Search.
7. A list of matching owners in that village will appear on the screen. Locate your name and click on it.
8. The system will display all details, including the Dag Number, Patta Number, and land share associated with that name.

Write down these numbers or take a screenshot so you can easily complete your e-Khajana payment. That's it!

What if the Search Returns No Results?

If the name search returns no results, try these troubleshooting steps:

• Try different name spellings: Government records sometimes have unusual spellings. Try spelling the name phonetically in different ways (e.g., "Mohammad" vs "Mohammed" vs "Md").
• Search in Assamese script: Many older records are stored in Assamese. Use Google's transliteration tool to convert the name to Assamese script and search again.
• Try different mouza/village names: Administrative boundaries sometimes differ from popular village names. Try adjacent mouzas in the same circle.
• Try a partial name: If the full name doesn't work, try just the first name or last name — the search may do a partial match.
• Check if records are digitized: If your village's records are not yet on Dharitree, the name search won't work. In this case, visit the circle office directly.

How to Search If the Land is in an Ancestor's Name?

Many landowners in Assam have land that is still registered in a deceased parent's or grandparent's name because Namjari (mutation) was never done. In this case:

• Search using the deceased ancestor's name on Dharitree.
• If records are found, note the Patta and Dag numbers.
• Then apply for Namjari under Mission Basundhara to transfer the records to your name.
• Until Namjari is done, you technically cannot pay e-Khajana in your own name. You can pay in the ancestor's name temporarily, but Namjari should be a priority.

Using the Dag Number Found on Dharitree for e-Khajana

Once you find your Dag and Patta numbers through the name search:

1. Note down the Patta Number and at least the primary Dag Number of your land.
2. Take a screenshot of the Jamabandi page showing these details.
3. Visit the Sewa Setu portal and start your e-Khajana application.
4. Enter the Patta number, Dag number, and location details when prompted.
5. Submit the application and wait for the Mouzadar to calculate and enter the tax amount.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Multiple results with the same name: In Assam, common names like "Abdul Karim" or "Bhupen Das" may yield many results in a large village. You can narrow down by cross-referencing the land area size or share with what you know from old documents. Clicking on each entry shows more details.
• Village records loading very slowly: Large mouzas with thousands of plots may take longer to load. Be patient and avoid clicking multiple times. Try during off-peak hours like early morning.
• Search shows name but with different Patta number than expected: If a Namjari was done without your knowledge (which would be fraud), the old Patta may be cancelled and a new one issued. Check all entries carefully and consult the circle office if anything suspicious is found.
