Adangal, also called Pahani, is the village-level cultivation and land-use record maintained by the Village Administrative Officer, showing crop details, soil type, ownership, and land classification for every survey number in a village. It matters because it's the record that confirms what's actually growing on the land and who's cultivating it — details a sale deed alone won't tell you, and gaps here can quietly block a crop loan or a future resale. This guide covers how to check and download Adangal online through Meebhoomi, what a correct record should show, and how to fix the mismatches that most often come up. Whether you're buying agricultural land, applying for a crop loan, or settling an inheritance, this is the record you'll be asked for.
Section 1 — What is Adangal in Andhra Pradesh?
Before checking a plot's Adangal record, it helps to compare what's currently available — browse farm land for sale in Andhra Pradesh on the 2Bigha map to see listings by location.
Definition: Adangal is the field-level record maintained by the Village Administrative Officer that documents crop details, soil classification, ownership, and cultivation status for each survey number in a village, forming the ground-truth companion to the more formal 1B Record of Rights.
It's often confused with the 1B (ROR), but the two serve related, not identical, purposes — the 1B is the compulsory Record of Rights showing verified ownership, survey number, and extent, while Adangal goes further and captures the actual cultivation picture: crop grown, soil type, and season-wise land use. A buyer needs Adangal specifically because it verifies the land is being used and classified the way it's described — wet, dry, or otherwise — which directly affects both its market value and its eligibility for agricultural loans and subsidies.
State-specific note: Andhra Pradesh land records exist in Telugu by default on Meebhoomi, and terms like "వెట్" (wet) and "డ్రై" (dry) directly affect classification and loan eligibility — if you're not comfortable reading Telugu, get the report translated or verified by someone familiar with these classifications before relying on it.
Expert Tip: Don't stop at checking your own survey number's Adangal — use the "Village Adangal" option to view the whole village's records together. This makes it much easier to spot inconsistencies in your specific plot's boundaries or classification when compared against neighbouring survey numbers, something a single-plot search alone won't reveal.

Visit meebhoomi.ap.gov.in and locate the "మీ అడంగల్/గ్రామ అడంగల్" (Adangal/Village Adangal) option under "Your Land Details."
Select District, Mandal, and Village from the dropdown menus for your property's location.
Choose either Adangal (individual plot) or Village Adangal (full village view) depending on what you need.

Submit and review the report, which shows crop details, soil type, and owner name, and download or print it as a PDF.

Offline requests typically take a few days if the record needs manual cross-checking with revenue registers. Before relying on the record, check that the survey number, extent, and land classification match your 1B and other ownership documents, and confirm the pattadar name matches the seller.

Field | What it means | What to check |
|---|---|---|
Survey number and extent | Identifies the exact plot and its size | Matches your 1B and sale documents |

Land classification (wet/dry) | Affects value and loan eligibility | Matches what's stated in related documents |
Pattadar/owner name | Recorded cultivator or owner | Matches the seller's ID and 1B record |
Season-wise cultivation status | Reflects use across cropping seasons | No unexplained gaps or inconsistencies |
Good sign: A correct Adangal shows a survey number and extent matching your 1B exactly, a clearly stated land classification, and a pattadar name consistent with your other ownership documents.
Section 4 — Common Issues & How to Fix Them?
Most Adangal issues in Andhra Pradesh come from digitisation-era data entry errors or pending mutations rather than genuine ownership disputes. Confirm your record status directly on the Adangal Andhra Pradesh "official website" before assuming an error is permanent.
Owner name mismatch with Aadhaar or 1B – A common digitisation-era error. Fix: Apply for ROR (Record of Rights) correction at your nearest MeeSeva centre.
Land classification looks outdated – Crop or soil details don't reflect current ground reality. Fix: Report the discrepancy to the VAO for an updated field verification and correction.
Confusing an unofficial clone site for the real portal – Multiple look-alike sites exist. Fix: Always use meebhoomi.ap.gov.in directly, and avoid entering personal details on unofficial domains.
Survey number search returns no result – Incorrect survey/khata number entered. Fix: Cross-check the number against a previous 1B copy or ask the seller to reconfirm before searching again.
Pending mutation not yet reflected – Recent ownership transfer hasn't updated on Adangal. Fix: Track mutation status through the portal's Mutation Status option and follow up at the Mandal Revenue Office if overdue.
Land under dispute – Adangal shows the plot flagged in a revenue court dispute. Fix: Check the Village Land Dispute Table on Meebhoomi and resolve the dispute before proceeding with any transaction.
Section 5 — Recent Changes in 2026
No major changes have been reported as of August 2026. Meebhoomi continues to offer integrated access to Adangal, 1B, FMB maps, Village Maps, e-Passbook, and mutation and land dispute status, all from the single official portal launched by the Andhra Pradesh Revenue Department.
Section 6 — Why Adangal Matters for Land Buyers?
It confirms the land's actual cultivation status and classification, not just what's stated on paper.
Land classification (wet or dry) directly affects both market value and crop loan eligibility.
Banks and agricultural credit institutions reference it when assessing loan applications.
It helps identify boundary or ownership discrepancies when cross-checked against neighbouring survey numbers.
A clean Adangal with no dispute flags reduces the risk of buying into an unresolved land conflict.
It's a key document during agriculture land sale Andhra Pradesh transactions, alongside the 1B and passbook.
Section 7 — Adangal vs. 1B (ROR)

Nature | Cultivation and land-use record | Formal Record of Rights |
Shows | Crop details, soil type, season-wise use | Owner name, survey number, extent, land classification |
Maintained by | Village Administrative Officer | Revenue Department |
Primary use | Verifying actual land use, crop loans | Ownership verification, legal and banking purposes |
