Coverage
Karnataka's revenue portal offers free RTC and mutation register views, RTC search by survey number, owner or registration number, and paid i-RTC; SSLR serves cadastral maps as PDF and KMZ. DILRMP-MIS shows 99.77% of villages computerised. Registration is on login-gated Kaveri 2.0, and Karnataka is NA on the NGDRS grid.
- RTC / Pahani: The Record of Rights, Tenancy and Crops for a survey number.
- Mutation Register (MR): The register of changes to the RTC.
- Khatha extract: An extract viewable by khatha number.

The record hierarchy runs District > Taluk > Hobli > Village > Survey / Surnoc / Hissa, and a plot is identified by its survey number or surnoc or hissa or khatha or PID number. /sources?state=29 returns all of this, with the portals that hold the records.

Questions people ask
What does a Karnataka land record API return?
For a plot it returns area, land class, recorded holders with relation and share, mutations, deeds, charges, tax, court cases and notices where loaded, plus the village government rate. Karnataka uses RTC (pahani); /sources?state=29 describes the state's record names.
Is this a certified copy of the Karnataka record?
No. It is built from public government records on a best-effort basis. It is not a certified copy and not proof of title. Verify with the issuing office before a transaction.
How do I find the LGD code of a Karnataka village?
Call /search?q= with the village name. Each village result has its LGD code, tehsil, district and pincode, and /village/{lgd} returns the full record.
