Questions

What is the land record called in Jharkhand?

Jharkhand's main land records are Khata (खाता).

Where can I see Jharkhand land records?

On this register: open Jharkhand, then the district, anchal and village, then the plot. Each plot page shows what the state's records say about it, with the source and the date it was read.

Is an online land record valid as proof of ownership?

No. A revenue record is evidence of possession and revenue liability, not of title, and an online view is not a certified copy. Certified or digitally signed copies are issued separately by the state.
