Adangal (Village Account) from Bhu Bharati

What is Adangal?

Adangal, also known as the Village Account (గ్రామ ఖాతా), is a comprehensive village-level land register maintained by the Village Revenue Officer (VRO) in Telangana. It serves as the primary revenue register at the village level, recording every survey number within a revenue village along with the pattadar (landowner) name, land extent, classification, nature of possession, crop details, and tax assessment. The Adangal is digitised and available through the Bhu Bharati portal maintained by the Telangana Revenue Department.

Unlike individual land records, the Adangal is a consolidated village-level document — it covers all survey numbers within a revenue village, making it the most complete land register at the grassroots level. The Village Revenue Officer updates the Adangal after every crop season, mutation, and land transaction.

What Information Does the Adangal Contain?

The Adangal (Village Account) captures the following details for every survey number in a revenue village:

• Pattadar / Landowner Name: The registered owner of the land as per revenue records (in Telugu and English)
• Father / Husband's Name: Identification details of the pattadar as recorded in revenue registers
• Khata Number: The revenue account number that links the pattadar to their survey numbers within the village
• PPB Number: Pattadar Passbook Number — the digital identity assigned in the Bhu Bharati system
• eKYC Status: Whether the pattadar's Aadhaar has been linked and verified with their land records
• Total Extent (Ac. Gts): The total land area in acres and guntas
• Survey No. / Sub-Division No.: The revenue survey identifier for the land parcel
• Land Status: Whether the land is NALA (Non-Agricultural Land Assessment) or agricultural
• Nature of Land: Classification such as Houses, Wet land, Dry land, Garden, etc.
• Classification: Revenue classification — Metta (Dry), Tari (Wet), Maagani, etc.
• Land Type: NALA Land, Patta Land, Government Land, Assigned Land, etc.
• Market Value (INR): Government-assessed market value for the survey number
• Transaction Status: Whether the property is prohibited or allowed for registration transactions

Adangal vs Pahani vs ROR-1B — Key Differences

In Telangana's Bhu Bharati system, the Adangal, Pahani, and ROR-1B all draw from the same underlying land records database. However, they serve different administrative purposes:

• Adangal (Village Account / గ్రామ ఖాతా): The comprehensive village-level register maintained by the VRO. It is the working document at the grassroots level, recording ownership, classification, crop details, and assessment for every survey number in a village. The Adangal is the register from which the Pahani and ROR-1B are derived.
• Pahani (పహాణి): An extract from the Adangal showing the record for a specific survey number. The Pahani includes the pattadar passbook number, eKYC status, and is the document most commonly used for day-to-day land verification. It is essentially the individual record view of the Adangal.
• ROR-1B (Record of Rights — Form 1B): The formal statutory register maintained under the Telangana Rights in Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act. It is the legal document of ownership used in courts, revenue proceedings, and government land acquisitions. ROR-1B is the most authoritative of the three.

All three records contain the same core ownership data from Bhu Bharati. The Adangal provides the village-level context (useful for understanding the entire village's land layout), the Pahani is the individual record extract (most practical for property buyers), and the ROR-1B is the legal statutory document (strongest in court).

Why is the Adangal Important?

• Village-Level Land Overview: The Adangal is the only document that provides a complete picture of all landholdings within a revenue village. It is used by Tahsildars, VROs, and revenue officials for village-level administration.
• Crop and Assessment Records: The Adangal records the crop grown on each survey number, the classification of land (wet/dry/garden), and the tax assessment. This is critical for agricultural loan processing and crop insurance claims.
• Pre-Purchase Due Diligence: Before buying agricultural land, checking the Adangal reveals the land classification, whether it's government or assigned land, and whether it is prohibited for transactions. This information is essential for informed decision-making.
• Revenue Disputes: In revenue court proceedings, the Adangal serves as the fundamental village-level record. Disputes about land boundaries, ownership claims, and classification are often resolved by referring to the Adangal entries.
• Bank Loan Verification: Banks and cooperative societies require Adangal extracts for processing agricultural loans, verifying the land classification and extent before disbursing credit.
• Government Scheme Eligibility: Many Telangana government schemes (Rythu Bandhu, Rythu Bima, etc.) use Adangal records to verify land ownership and extent for farmer benefit eligibility.
