How we know this: we retrieve the Village Map from SSLR Revenue Maps Online (service3) for clients every working day, so the steps, failure modes and workarounds below are what the portal actually does — not a summary of its documentation.

The Village Map (Grama Naksha / ಗ್ರಾಮ ನಕ್ಷೆ) is the comprehensive cartographic record of an entire revenue village, prepared by the Survey Settlement and Land Records (SSLR) Department. While a PT Sheet isolates a single parcel, the SSLR village map with survey numbers provides the overarching context, displaying how hundreds of plots fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. It delineates the outer boundaries of the village, the exact location of every survey number, government lands (Gomala), forests, water bodies (tanks, lakes, Rajakaluves), and public infrastructure like roads and railway lines. It is the primary reference map used by revenue officials for land administration and urban planners for layout approvals.
A village map with survey numbers is essential for spatial due diligence. It answers critical questions that an isolated PT Sheet cannot: Does the property sit in the buffer zone of a lake? Is it blocking a designated village road? Is it adjacent to a forest boundary? Real estate developers use it to plan access roads and drainage. Buyers of large agricultural tracts use it to verify the surrounding topography and ensure the parcel is not landlocked. When survey numbers are disputed or missing from modern digital maps, tracing them back on the original Village Map is the only way to establish their historical location.
Step by step
Open SSLR's Revenue Maps Online at landrecords.karnataka.gov.in/service3.
Either type the village name into "Enter Village Name" and press Search, or narrow the grid with the District dropdown and page to the village.
The village name must be spelled as the revenue record spells it. Coastal districts prefix the village serial number, so Adyar is listed as "102-ADYAR".
Click the PDF icon on the village’s row. Where the department has geo-referenced the village a KMZ icon appears beside it, for use in Google Earth.
The sheet is A3 and highly detailed, so expect to zoom in significantly to read individual survey numbers. It also downloads with printing disabled.
Cross-reference the survey numbers on the map with your RTC and PT Sheet.
The official portal is SSLR Revenue Maps landrecords.karnataka.gov.in/service3 (Survey Settlement and Land Records (SSLR)). We fetch from it on your behalf — you never need to register there.
Anashwar Docs runs this sequence for you against the government portal and returns the PDF in 1–3 min. Fill the form above to get it now.
What goes wrong
Village maps are rarely updated in real-time. A map drawn during the last settlement might not show recent sub-divisions (Hissa numbers) or newly laid highways.
The scale of a village map makes it unsuitable for resolving micro-level boundary disputes between two adjacent plots. You need a PT Sheet and a physical survey for that.
Relying on unofficial or redrawn maps provided by developers. Always use the official SSLR Village Map, as unauthorized maps often conveniently erase water bodies or government land.
Misinterpreting the legend. Dotted lines might mean a seasonal stream, while solid lines mean a road. Failing to read the key can lead to disastrous land use assumptions.
Assuming the map reflects current urban reality. Many villages are now entirely absorbed into cities (like Bangalore), but the revenue village map still reflects the historical agricultural layout.
The sheet is issued as one file per village and carries the department’s own disclaimer: the map is indicative, boundaries must still be verified by the prescribed legal procedure, and it is not usable for legal purposes.
The portal’s search silently returns the full state-wide list when the village name does not match, so a page of unrelated villages reads like a result. Check that the row you click is actually your district, taluk, hobli and village.
Fix errors fast
| Symptom on SSLR Revenue Maps Online (service3) | How to fix it |
|---|---|
| Survey number is missing from the map | The land might have been granted or assigned a number after the map was drawn, or you are looking at an outdated edition. Check with the Taluk Survey Office. |
| Map shows a lake where buildings now stand | The lake bed may have been illegally encroached. Buying property on a mapped water body, even if fully built up, risks demolition under NGT guidelines. Steer clear. |
| Cannot find the village in the dropdown | The village might have been merged with a municipal corporation or renamed. Search using historical revenue records or consult a local deed writer. |
| Downloaded map is too blurry to read | Online scans of large maps are sometimes compressed. You can purchase a high-resolution, full-size physical copy from the SSLR office at K.R. Circle (Bangalore) or the District Survey Office. |
| Property appears landlocked on the map | If no village road connects to the survey number, you must establish an easement right or purchase access from a neighbor. Do not assume a dirt path is a legal road. |
| Map has 'A', 'B', 'C' blocks instead of survey numbers | You may be looking at a town planning map or a re-survey block map. Ensure you have the original revenue village map for agricultural survey numbers. |
The Bhoomi family serves the revenue village map through SSLR Revenue Maps Online (service3), not through the RTC screen. Choose district, taluk, hobli and village, and the map is issued as a PDF showing every survey number inside the village boundary. It is a whole-village sheet: there is no per-survey-number download, so locate your parcel on the sheet after opening it. For a single parcel with measurements, the PT Sheet or 11E sketch is the correct record instead.
Yes, the official village map displays the layout of every survey number within the village boundaries. You can use it to see how your parcel sits relative to roads, lakes, and neighboring plots.
SSLR stands for the Survey Settlement and Land Records Department. They are the official cartographic authority in Karnataka, and an SSLR village map is the authoritative revenue map (Grama Naksha) used for land administration.
The BhoomiMaps portal returns the village map either as a scanned PDF document or as a high-resolution JPEG image, depending on how that specific village’s historical records were digitized. You can [order it here](/order) to have the portal retrieve the correct format automatically.
A Village Map (Grama Naksha) is the official cartographic layout of an entire revenue village prepared by the Survey Department. It shows the boundaries and locations of all survey numbers, water bodies, roads, and government lands within that village, providing the macro-level context for any individual land parcel.
A PT Sheet (Tippan) is a micro-level map showing the exact dimensions and boundaries of a single, specific survey number. A Village Map is a macro-level map showing how hundreds of survey numbers, roads, and lakes fit together across the entire village. You use a PT Sheet to check your boundaries, and a Village Map to check your surroundings.
Yes, this is one of its most critical uses. The Village Map clearly marks historical water bodies (Kere) and primary drains (Rajakaluves). If a property sits on an area marked as a water body on the village map, it is illegal, regardless of whether a building stands there today or what current municipal records say.
Village Maps represent the layout at the time of the last major survey settlement. If a survey number was created recently through a government grant, or if an old number was heavily sub-divided (Phodi), the new numbers may not appear on the older, digitized master map. You may need to consult the Taluk Survey Office for the updated block map.
