If you own land jointly with other family members under a single shared Patta, you may face difficulties in selling your share or getting individual crop loans. To solve this, you must divide the land officially. This process is called Land Partition (locally known as Bhag-Batora or division of joint patta).

Here is a complete guide on how to apply for land partition online in Assam through the Mission Basundhara portal.

What is Partition of Joint Patta?

Partition is the legal division of a jointly owned land plot among the co-owners according to their respective shares. After partition, the old joint Patta is split, and the government issues a brand new, separate Patta (Periodic Patta) to each individual owner for their specific share of land.

Documents Needed for Online Application

Before applying, make sure you scan and save these documents as PDFs (under 2MB):

  • Copy of the Joint Patta (Jamabandi document).
  • Registered Sale Deed or inheritance proof showing your share.
  • Up-to-date Land Revenue Receipt (Khajana receipt).
  • Mutual Consent Agreement or No Objection Certificate (NOC) signed by all co-pattadars (optional but highly recommended to avoid disputes).
