Village Map / Tippan from Bhu Bharati

What is a Village Map (Tippan)?

A Village Map, known as Tippan (టిప్పన్) in Telugu, is the official revenue map maintained by the Telangana Revenue Department that shows the spatial layout of all survey numbers within a revenue village. Also referred to as the Land Parcel Map (LPM), it is one of the most critical documents in land due diligence because it visually represents the boundaries, extent, and classification of every land parcel in the village.

In the Bhu Bharati portal, when you search a survey number, the system returns both textual land records (pattadar details, extent, classification) and geographic data that corresponds to the village tippan. This tool allows you to access that data by searching with your district, mandal, village, and survey number — giving you a complete picture of the land parcel within the context of the village layout.

The Tippan is prepared and maintained by the Revenue Survey Department of Telangana and is updated when survey subdivisions, land acquisitions, or boundary corrections occur. It is distinct from the Survey Sketch (Tippan) which shows individual field measurements, though both are used together during land verification.

What Information Does the Village Map Show?

The Village Map / Tippan from Bhu Bharati provides the following details for each survey number searched:

• Survey Number Boundaries: The defined extent and limits of the survey parcel within the village
• Land Extent (Acres & Guntas): The total area of the survey number as recorded in revenue registers
• Land Classification: Whether the land is classified as Metta (Dry), Tari (Wet), Nala (Non-Agricultural), or Poramboke (Government)
• Nature of Land: The current land use — agricultural, residential (Houses), garden land, etc.
• Pattadar Details: The registered landowner's name, father/husband's name, and Khata number
• PPB Number & eKYC Status: The Pattadar Passbook number and Aadhaar verification status
• Market Value: The government-assessed value for the survey number as recorded in Bhu Bharati
• Transaction Status: Whether the property is clear for registration or is prohibited/restricted
• Land Type: Patta Land, NALA Land, Government Land, Assigned Land, etc.
• Adjacent Survey Context: The survey's position within the village helps identify neighbouring parcels

Village Map vs FMB vs Pahani — Understanding the Difference

Telangana's revenue system maintains several documents that are often confused. Here is how the Village Map (Tippan) compares to other revenue records:

• Village Map (Tippan / LPM): The master layout map of the entire revenue village showing all survey numbers, their boundaries, roads, water bodies, and landmarks. It gives the "big picture" view of where each parcel sits within the village.
• Survey Sketch (Tippan): A detailed survey-level measurement sketch showing the exact dimensions, angles, and boundary markers of an individual survey number. FMB is used for precise measurements during boundary disputes or subdivisions.
• Pahani (Adangal): The textual revenue register that records ownership, land classification, crop details, and tax information. It is the working document used by Village Revenue Officers.
• ROR-1B (Record of Rights): The statutory legal register of land ownership. It is derived from the same data as the Pahani but is the formal document used in courts and government proceedings.

For a comprehensive land due diligence check, property buyers in Telangana should review all four documents: the Village Map to understand the parcel's location, the FMB for exact measurements, the Pahani/ROR for ownership details, and the EC (Encumbrance Certificate) for transaction history.

Why is the Village Map Important for Property Buyers?

• Boundary Verification: The Village Map confirms the physical boundaries of the survey number you are purchasing. Without it, you cannot verify if the seller is showing you the correct land parcel on the ground.
• Adjacent Land Classification: By understanding the village layout, you can check what surrounds the property — whether there is government land, water bodies, roads, or other features that may affect the property's usability or value.
• Encroachment Detection: Comparing the Village Map boundaries with the actual ground situation helps detect encroachments by neighbours or on government land.
• Layout Approvals: For plots in layouts, the Village Map is used by HMDA/DTCP to verify that the layout falls within the correct survey boundaries and that the land use is compatible.
• Bank Loan Processing: Banks and financial institutions require Village Map data to verify land extent and classification before sanctioning agricultural or plot loans.
• Legal Proceedings: In land disputes, courts frequently reference the Village Tippan to establish original survey boundaries and resolve conflict over property extent.
