Charged only when a record comes back. You approve every run first, and nothing found means nothing charged.

What we need

One thing at a time. Fill it in and press Run.

Pick the village or town, then the survey number and sub-division.

You will see the price and your balance before it runs.

The answer

From the register, with its date and source.

Nothing run yet. The answer appears here with everything this mini adds:

  • The parcel located on the map first, so the sketch you get is for the plot you mean
  • Rural and town surveys handled alike; a town survey uses the exact ward and block you picked
  • A miss is free: a survey with no sketch online is not charged

How this works

What it reads, what it needs, and how to read the answer.

What it does

The Field Measurement Book is the survey department's measured sketch of every survey number, with its sides, bearings and neighbours. It is what a surveyor uses to mark a boundary on the ground. This mini fetches the sketch for the survey you give.

What you give it

The district, taluk and village or town, and the survey number with its sub-division.

What it adds beyond the portal
  • The parcel located on the map first, so the sketch you get is for the plot you mean
  • Rural and town surveys handled alike; a town survey uses the exact ward and block you picked
  • A miss is free: a survey with no sketch online is not charged
What it costs
1 credit per run

Charged only when the record comes back. You see your balance before you approve, and a run that finds nothing costs nothing.

How to read the result

The sketch opens as a PDF exactly as the department issues it. The map beside it shows where the parcel sits in the cadastral layer. Some surveys, especially recently subdivided ones, have no sketch online yet.

Where the data comes from

The survey and land records department's FMB service, read live, and the state cadastral layer for the parcel map.

Questions people ask

Short answers, no jargon.

What is an FMB sketch used for?

To mark the boundary of a survey on the ground, settle a dispute with a neighbour, or check that a fence or a deed schedule matches the measured plot.

Why is there no sketch for my survey?

Sketches for some surveys, often ones subdivided recently, have not been digitised. The mini reports that honestly and does not charge for the miss.

Does this work for town surveys?

Yes. For a town survey the ward and block are derived from the register and the town sketch service is used.
