Telangana Prohibited Properties List 2026

Before purchasing land, a plot or a house in Telangana, it is important to check whether the property is included in the government’s Prohibited Properties List. Properties listed under Section 22-A of the Registration Act, 1908 may face restrictions on registration. If a property is included in this list, the Sub-Registrar may refuse to register a sale deed or other relevant document.

The Telangana Registration and Stamps Department provides an online Prohibited Properties service. The Bhu Bharati portal also provides a grievance facility for landowners who believe their survey numbers have been wrongly included in the prohibited list.

In this guide, we explain how to access the official prohibited properties search, what information is required, how to check land records using a survey number, and what to do if your property is wrongly classified as prohibited.

What Is the Telangana Prohibited Properties List?

The Prohibited Properties List is a government record of lands and properties whose registration is restricted under applicable laws. In Telangana, these restrictions are associated with Section 22-A of the Registration Act, 1908.

The list may include different categories of properties, such as:

• Government lands and properties belonging to government departments.
• Assigned lands where transfer is restricted under applicable laws.
• Endowment and Waqf properties.
• Forest lands and certain protected lands.
• Surplus lands covered by land ceiling laws.
• Properties covered by specific government notifications, court orders or other legal restrictions.

The exact reason for a property’s inclusion is important. Not every property shown as prohibited has the same legal background or restriction.

How to Check Telangana Prohibited Properties List Online

The Telangana Registration and Stamps Department provides an official online service to access prohibited property information.

Official website: https://registration.telangana.gov.in/openProhibitedProperties.htm

Follow these steps to access the service:

1. Visit the Telangana Registration and Stamps Department website.
2. Open the Prohibited Properties service.
3. Select the District where the property is located.
4. Select the concerned Mandal.
5. Select the Division and Village/Town, wherever applicable.
6. Select the relevant Sub-Registrar Office (SRO).
7. Click the Fetch button to proceed.

The search page currently asks for district, mandal, village/town and SRO details. It does not provide a direct survey-number search box on this public page.

Important: The official page currently displays a notice stating that Section 22-A prohibition data is under review and will be published soon. Therefore, the online search may not provide complete or usable results at present. Readers should verify the latest position with the concerned Sub-Registrar Office before relying on the portal.

Can You Check Prohibited Land Using a Survey Number?

A survey number is one of the most important details for identifying agricultural land and individual land parcels. However, the public Prohibited Properties page of the Registration Department does not currently offer a direct search field where users can enter only a survey number.

Bhu Bharati provides separate land-record services where citizens can search using details such as:

• Survey Number or Sub-Division Number
• Pattadar Passbook Number
• Bhudhaar number
• District
• Mandal
• Village

These services help users identify land-record details. However, a land-record search should not automatically be treated as confirmation that a property is free from Section 22-A restrictions.

For a reliable check, compare the land records with the relevant Registration Department records and confirm the property’s status with the concerned SRO.

How to Check Land Details Using a Survey Number on Bhu Bharati

If you want to verify the basic land-record details of a property, use the Bhu Bharati portal.

1. Visit https://bhubharati.telangana.gov.in/.
2. Open the relevant land-record or information service.
3. Select the search option for Survey Number/Sub-Division Number.
4. Choose the District.
5. Select the Mandal and Village.
6. Enter the Survey Number or Sub-Division Number.
7. Submit the details to view the available land-record information.

Depending on the service and information available, the portal may display land-record details associated with the selected survey number.

Remember that this is a land-record lookup, not a substitute for checking the official prohibition entry and its underlying order.

How to Apply for Removal of a Survey Number from the Prohibited Properties List

Sometimes, private land may be wrongly included in the prohibited list because of incorrect entries, survey-number mapping issues, outdated records or other administrative errors.

The Bhu Bharati portal provides a dedicated service called Grievance Relating to Inclusion in Prohibited Properties List. Eligible landowners can submit a request seeking removal of the wrongly included property or survey number.

Steps to Submit a Prohibited Properties Grievance

1. Visit the Bhu Bharati portal: https://bhubharati.telangana.gov.in/.
2. Log in using your citizen account. New users may need to register.
3. Open the ROR Corrections section.
4. Select Grievance Relating to Inclusion in Prohibited Properties List.
5. Read the service information and click Proceed.
6. Indicate whether you have a Pattadar Passbook number.
7. If you have a passbook, enter the number and fetch the details. Otherwise, select the required District, Mandal, Village, Survey Number and Khata Number.
8. Fetch the land details and identify the survey number for which you want to submit the grievance.
9. Enter the required Aadhaar and property-related details as requested by the portal.
10. Select the relevant option regarding removal from the CARD prohibited list and provide the reason for your request.
11. Enter your communication details and upload the required supporting documents.
12. Submit the application and note the application number.

The application process includes citizen data entry, eKYC at a MeeSeva centre and forwarding of the application to the concerned department for further processing.

Submission of a grievance does not mean that the survey number will be removed automatically. The competent authorities will examine the documents and decide the request.

Documents Required for Removal of Land from the Prohibited List

The documents required may depend on the reason for the property’s inclusion and the nature of the grievance.

Keep the following documents ready, wherever applicable:

• Pattadar Passbook or relevant land-record details.
• Previous registered sale deed or link documents.
• Court order or government order supporting the claim.
• Relevant proceedings or permissions from competent authorities.
• Evidence supporting the request for exclusion from the prohibited list.
• Aadhaar and applicant communication details.

Upload clear and readable copies of the documents requested by the portal. The authority may require additional records during verification.

How to Check the Status of a Prohibited Properties Grievance

After submitting the grievance through Bhu Bharati, keep the application number safely.

The application is subject to the portal’s prescribed eKYC and departmental processing steps. Complete the MeeSeva eKYC requirement when instructed and retain the acknowledgement.

For further information, contact the concerned Tahsildar, Revenue Divisional Officer, District Collector’s office or Sub-Registrar Office, depending on the issue.

Important Precautions Before Buying Land in Telangana

Checking the prohibited properties list is an important step before purchasing land, but it is not a complete title verification.

Before paying an advance or entering into a sale agreement, consider these checks:

1. Verify the survey number: Confirm that the survey number and sub-division match the actual property.
2. Check land records: Examine the available Bhu Bharati records, Pattadar Passbook and other relevant documents.
3. Check the Encumbrance Certificate: Review registered transactions and available encumbrance details for the property.
4. Verify the title documents: Examine the present owner’s title and previous link documents.
5. Check permissions: For plots and layouts, verify approvals from the competent authority.
6. Confirm the SRO position: Ask the concerned Sub-Registrar Office whether any registration restriction applies to the property.
7. Consult a property lawyer: Have the documents and the legal basis of any restriction examined before completing the transaction.

A property not appearing in an online search should not automatically be considered legally safe to purchase. Similarly, a land-record entry alone does not establish clear and marketable title.

Conclusion

Checking the Telangana Prohibited Properties List is an important precaution before buying or registering land. The Registration and Stamps Department provides an online search, while Bhu Bharati offers land-record services and a grievance facility for eligible owners seeking correction of wrongly included properties.

As the official prohibition data is currently under review on the public search page, buyers and landowners should not rely only on an online result. Verify the survey number, supporting documents and registration status with the concerned government offices before making a property decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I check whether my land is in the Telangana prohibited properties list?

Visit the Telangana Registration and Stamps Department’s Prohibited Properties page. Select the district, mandal, village/town and SRO office, then use the Fetch option. The page currently displays a notice that prohibition data is under review, so confirm the latest information with the concerned SRO.

Can I search the Telangana prohibited properties list using a survey number?

The public Registration Department search page currently does not provide a direct survey-number input field. Bhu Bharati has separate land-record and grievance services that use survey-number details. These should not be confused with a public Section 22-A status search.

What is Section 22-A in Telangana?

Section 22-A of the Registration Act, 1908 deals with categories of properties for which registration is prohibited under the applicable provisions. The legal reason for a property’s inclusion should be verified from the relevant record or order.

How can I remove my land from the prohibited properties list?

Eligible landowners can apply through the Bhu Bharati citizen login using the Grievance Relating to Inclusion in Prohibited Properties List service. The applicant must provide property details, reasons and supporting documents. The competent department examines the application.

Is Bhu Bharati land-record information enough to confirm that a property is not prohibited?

No. Land-record information and the Registration Department’s prohibition records serve different purposes. Verify both and obtain confirmation from the concerned Sub-Registrar Office before proceeding with a property transaction.

Can I register land if its survey number is in the prohibited list?

Registration may be refused if the property is legally covered by a prohibition. The outcome depends on the applicable law, the exact extent and the underlying government or legal order. Obtain advice from a property lawyer and confirmation from the Registration Department.
