If you are concerned about the Bihar land survey, this notice is for you. You need to review all the information provided in the notice point by point and prepare your documents accordingly. Based on these documents, your ancestral land will be registered in your name, so there is no need to worry. A detailed list of the required documents, along with the information provided in the notice, is given below.

There is no need to get it made from the Panchayat representative

Recently, a large crowd gathered to get affidavits made due to the perceived need to create family trees (genealogies) through the village head (Sarpanch), without knowing whether it was actually necessary or not. The department has now clarified the situation. There is no need to get an affidavit or have the family tree created by a Panchayat representative. The Bihar government has issued some general instructions for landowners regarding the special land survey and settlement. Therefore, you are requested to read this post from beginning to end, as it contains very important information for you.
