Farmer Registry with Multiple Land Plots: How to Add Every Plot

You can link all your land plots to one Farmer ID, whether they are in the same village, different villages, or even different states. Add each plot during registration. If you miss one, add it after approval using your state’s update process. In Uttar Pradesh this is the UFR, or Update Farmer Request.

The challenge with several plots is that the system groups land village by village, and each plot is checked against your name separately. One plot with a different spelling, or still in a parent’s name, can be left out while the others go through. This guide shows how to handle each case.

How the registry sees your plots

Buckets: land grouped by village

Before registration, the system groups land into “buckets”. The FAQ says a bucket is “a group of lands owned by the same owner within a village”, created by matching the owner’s name and father’s or husband’s name in that village’s land records.

So if you own land in three villages, you may have three buckets. Your plots in one village appear together, but plots in another village need to be found separately.

One Farm ID per plot

Each plot where your name appears gets its own Farm ID. The FAQ gives an example of a farmer whose father owns one plot and uncle owns another: “Because there are 2 plots, 2 farm IDs would be created”, and there are two buckets because there are two owners.

See Farm ID vs Farmer ID for how these IDs connect.

Before you start: list every plot

Make a table like this for all your land:

(Example values only.)

The “Name as written” column is important. In this example, the Village B plot uses initials and will probably score lower. See name mismatch.

Each plot is matched separately

The name check is not done once for you; it is done against the names on each plot. The FAQ says the system checks the name match “between his or her name as in Aadhaar and the name in the bucket”, and buckets are made village by village. So one village’s records can match well while another village’s records, written by a different clerk years ago, match poorly.

In practice:

• Plots where your name is written in full usually score well.
• Plots with initials, an old spelling or a missing surname score lower and may need an official’s review.
• A plot recorded under someone else’s name will not match at all.

Your plots and your father’s plots are separate buckets

A common surprise: you open the land step and see plots you do not own, or do not see plots your family farms. Buckets follow the owner named in the record, not the household. In the FAQ’s example, a farmer’s father owns one plot and an uncle owns another: “there would be 2 buckets- one in the name of father and another in the name of uncle”.

So:

• Plots recorded in your name are in your bucket. Claim them.
• Plots recorded in your father’s name are in his bucket. He claims them, or, after mutation, the heirs do.
• Do not claim a family member’s bucket to “keep everything together”. It will score low and may be rejected.

Case 1: Several plots in the same village

This is the easiest case. Your plots usually come together in one bucket. In the Uttar Pradesh manual, you click “Fetch Land Details”, select the plots, add them, and then click “Verify All Lands” so a name-match score is calculated.

If a plot in the same village is missing, it may be recorded under a different spelling of your name or your father’s name. Search for it by survey number.

Case 2: Plots in different villages

Add the first village’s plots, then search for the next village. In the Uttar Pradesh manual, the land step lets you choose the sub-district and village from a drop-down and enter a survey number. If your name is not in the owner list shown, there is a “My name is not there in the list of owners” option, which lets you pick the sub-survey number and show land details from the record.

If a village is missing from the list, see village not showing.

Case 3: Plots in different districts

Within a state, the process is the same as for different villages. You choose the district, sub-district and village for each plot. The FAQ lists these as the fields for claiming land: “the name of the district, subdistrict, and village where the land is located, along with the survey number and sub-survey number”.

Case 4: Plots in different states

Each state runs its own Farmer Registry portal, because land records are kept by states. You claim each state’s land on that state’s portal. The FAQ says you still end up with a single Farmer ID, because the “Farmer ID is created against an Aadhaar”.

Our state-wise portals page lists the official link for each state.

Case 5: Some plots are joint, some are yours alone

That is fine. Sole plots link to you only. A jointly owned plot may have one Farm ID shared by all co-owners, and each co-owner claims it with their own Farmer ID. See joint land.

Case 6: Some plots are in a parent’s name

You cannot claim those yet. The registry follows the current owner in the land record. Claim the plots in your name now, and add the others after the succession mutation. See inherited land.

Worked example: Ram Kumar’s four plots

Using the example plot list from earlier:

Ram ends up with one Farmer ID and four Farm IDs linked to it, though the Village B plot may take longer because of the review. (Example only.)

Adding a plot after approval

If you missed a plot or bought new land, add it after approval. The Uttar Pradesh manual says the UFR flow “allows farmers to add remaining land parcels that were missed during initial registration”, and notes that “UFR can be used only after the Farmer ID is approved” (translated from Hindi).

Uttar Pradesh UFR steps

1. Log in with your mobile number, password and captcha.
2. Click "Update My Information".
3. Open land ownership and land details, then click "+ Add New Land (Owned)".
4. Choose district, sub-district and village, then enter the survey number.
5. If your name is not listed, click "My name is not there in the list of owners" to add land from the live land record.
6. Select the sub-survey number and tick your land in the owner list.
7. Add the land, and repeat for other plots.
8. Click "Verify All Land", then "Update Land Ownership and Land Details".

The manual says the update request is then raised. If the name-match score for all added land is 80 or more it is approved automatically; if it is between 16 and 79 it goes to the Lekhpal. Note down any reference shown after you submit, and check your profile again later to confirm the new plot appears.

Other states

The FAQ says the update process “can be configured as needed by the State”. Look for an “Update”, “Update My Information” or similar option after login, or ask your state help desk.

Why one plot may not appear

See land details not showing for more.

When you sell or buy a plot

The FAQ says that once a mutation happens after a claim, “such lands would automatically move from one farmer to another farmer under the farmer registry”, where the state has connected the registry to the land record system. If it does not update in your state, use the update process or ask the help desk.

When a plot is divided

If a family divides a plot, the FAQ says: “If multiple people get portion of the land then the farm ID will be inactivated and multiple farm IDs would be generated depending upon the number of pieces of land created by the family.” Once the partition is in the land record, each person’s new piece has its own Farm ID, linked to their own Farmer ID.

After registration: check every plot is linked

Once your Farmer ID is approved:

1. Log in to your state portal and look at the land listed in your profile. The FAQ says farmers can log in “to view his or her own information”.
2. Tick off each plot against your plot list.
3. If any plot is missing, add it through the update process.
4. If a plot appears that is not yours, raise it with the help desk straight away.

Do this again whenever you buy, sell, inherit or divide land.

Tips for farmers with many plots

• Do it in one sitting if you can, with your plot list ready.
• Check each plot’s score. A low score on one plot can slow the whole application.
• Keep your enrolment number. Additions after approval are linked to your registration.
• Do not re-register to add land. That can create a duplicate record.

For CSC operators

• Ask the farmer for a list of all villages and survey numbers before starting.
• Add all plots in one go where possible.
• If one plot needs mutation, explain that it can be added later through the update process.
