Safety checklist

Verify before using any official-looking portal

Use this quick checklist before entering land, owner, or payment details on any property-record website.

  1. 1

    Check the domain and department name

    Look for the correct state, revenue, registration, or municipal department identity before trusting the page.

  2. 2

    Avoid unnecessary payments

    Be careful if an unofficial site asks for payment, login, Aadhaar, PAN, or sensitive details before showing basic guidance.

  3. 3

    Confirm with local records

    Use downloaded copies only as references until the official record or qualified local support confirms them.

Why Bigha varies

Bigha developed through regional land-measurement practice. A Bigha value in Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Assam, Rajasthan, Gujarat, or Maharashtra may not match another location.

RopaniBigha avoids publishing a fake one-size-fits-all state table unless the source data is verified and maintainable.

How to use Bigha safely

When a listing says Bigha, ask which state or local standard is being used and confirm the equivalent square feet from the official record or a qualified local professional.
