The Meebhoomi portal, launched by the Andhra Pradesh Revenue Department in June 2015, is a cornerstone of digital land record management in the state.
Among its key offerings is the E-Passbook, a digitally signed document that consolidates a landowner’s property details, including ownership, survey numbers, khata numbers, land extent, and cultivation information.
What is the Meebhoomi E-Passbook?
The E-Passbook is an electronic version of the traditional land passbook, designed to provide a secure, accessible, and legally valid summary of an individual’s land holdings. Maintained by the Revenue Department, it includes:
- Landowner Details: Name and ownership status.
- Property Information: Survey number, khata number, account number, land area, and type (wet/dry).
- Cultivation Data: Crop types and irrigation sources.
- Legal Status: Mutation details and dispute information (if any).
The E-Passbook is critical for property transactions, bank loans, legal disputes, and government schemes, offering transparency and eliminating the need for physical visits to revenue offices.
