Old survey number to new survey number, for any town or village
Type the old survey number your deed prints and pick the town or village. You get every current parcel the register says came from it, with its survey number, sub-division, extent and recorded owner, read from the register entry itself rather than guessed from a map.

- One old number often became several parcels: every one is listed, not just the first
- A register field holding several old numbers is split, so 59/1 is found inside "59/10PT,56/1PT,59/1PT"
- The owner, extent and street come from the same register entry, so nothing is inferred

Old survey numbers, briefly
The survey number a parcel carried before resurvey renumbered the land. Deeds and pattas written before the resurvey still cite it, and the register prints it beside the current number.
- Where it is read
- The register entry
Each current parcel's own register entry carries its old number. The answer is a read of that field, not a similarity match.
- One old, many new
- Every parcel
An old survey was usually split into several holdings. Every current parcel that lists the old number is returned, not just the first.
- Town coverage
- About 93%
About 93% of town survey parcels carry an old number in their register entry. The rest leave that field blank.
How to find the new survey number from an old one
- 1
Type the old number
As the deed prints it: 59/1, 59/1PT or R.S. 59/1. Prefixes and part markers are handled.
- 2
Pick the place
Choose the register, then the district, taluk and the town or village the number was given in.
- 3
Read the parcels
Each result is a current parcel with its survey number, sub-division, extent and the owner the register records.
When it helps with land
An old sale deed
A deed from before the resurvey names land by a number no current record shows. This finds the parcel it is today.
Before a patta or EC search
Current records are searched by the current number. Find it first, then run the land record or EC on it.
Family land
An inherited deed with an old number can be matched to the parcels the family should be checking.
A match says the register links the two numbers, not that the land in your deed is all of that parcel, or still yours. Check the current land record and the encumbrance certificate before relying on it.
Questions people ask
How do I find the new survey number from an old survey number?
Type the old number as the deed prints it, pick the town or village it was given in, and press Run. Every current parcel whose register entry lists that old number is returned.
Why do I get several parcels for one old number?
Because that old survey was divided. Each current parcel is a separate holding with its own owner and extent, and each one lists the same old number.
Does a part marker matter?
No. 59/1PT, 59/1pt and 59/1 are treated as the same number, which is how the register itself writes them. A field holding several old numbers is split, so 59/1 is found inside "59/10PT,56/1PT,59/1PT".
My deed says R.S. 59/1 and nothing is found.
Check that the right town or village is picked, since an old number means nothing outside the place it was given in. Some parcels have no old number in the register at all (about 7% of town parcels), so a blank is not proof the number never existed.
Does it work for village land as well as towns?
Yes. Town land is read from the town survey register and village land from the village revenue A-register, each from its own old survey number field.
Can I go the other way, from the new number to the old?
Yes, use the new survey number to old mini. That is the one to use before searching an encumbrance certificate for the years before the resurvey.
Is this free?
Yes.
