The Land Survey Document That Blocked a ₹40 Lakh Property Sale
Raichur’s Basavanna had agreed to sell his 3-acre agricultural plot for ₹40 lakh. The buyer’s lawyer asked for one document: the 11E Sketch — an official boundary map showing exactly where the land starts and ends.
Basavanna went to the Taluk Survey Office. The clerk said: “Come back in 45 days. There’s a queue.”
45 days later: “Survey pending. Surveyor is busy. Come back in another month.”
His buyer moved on. The deal collapsed.
Three months after that, his neighbour showed him the Mojini V3 portal. Basavanna logged in, applied for the 11E Sketch online, paid ₹15, tracked his application status every day — and downloaded his certified sketch in 23 days. Next buyer got it within a week of asking.
Mojini V3 (bhoomojini.karnataka.gov.in) is Karnataka’s online survey and land sketch portal. It doesn’t replace the physical surveyor — but it replaces the 4 visits to the office, the queue tokens, and the uncertainty about when anything will happen.
This guide covers everything: what Mojini V3 actually does, how to get your 11E sketch, how to check status, and the one thing that causes 70% of application delays — that nobody else tells you about.

Mojini V3, Bhoomi, and SSLR — Three Names, One Ecosystem
This is where most people get confused before they even start.
| System | Portal | What It Does | Who Uses It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bhoomi (RTC) | landrecords.karnataka.gov.in | Land ownership records — RTC/Pahani | Property owners, banks, courts |
| Mojini V3 | bhoomojini.karnataka.gov.in | Survey sketches + survey requests + application status | Anyone needing boundary maps |
| SSLR V3 | Inside Mojini dashboard | Survey work — boundary fixing, 11E issuance | Filed survey applications |
| Kaveri 2.0 | kaverionline.karnataka.gov.in | Property registration + EC | Buyers, sellers, banks |
Simple Rule:
- Need to see who owns the land? → Bhoomi
- Need to see the boundaries of the land? → Mojini V3
- Need to register a sale? → Kaveri 2.0
Why this matters in 2026: With Kaveri 2.0 now syncing with Bhoomi automatically, the last missing link was Mojini’s survey data. The biometric e-Sign feature added in 2026 means survey orders are now digitally signed — no office visit needed to collect the final document.
What is Mojini V3? (And What Changed in 2026)
Mojini V3 is operated by the Department of Survey, Settlement and Land Records (SSLR), Government of Karnataka. It launched on February 20, 2022, with V3 rolling out in 2024.
Before Mojini: Getting a land sketch meant visiting the survey office, filing a paper application, paying a challan at a bank, returning to submit the challan, waiting for a field survey, then returning again to collect the sketch. Minimum 5 visits, 60-90 day wait.
After Mojini V3:
- Online application — no office visit to submit
- Online payment — ₹15 per document, integrated gateway
- Real-time status tracking — know exactly where your file is
- Digital sketch download — certified copy downloadable at home
- 2026: Biometric e-Sign — final survey order signed digitally, no collection visit
The Three Sketches — 11E, Phodi, and Alienation Explained
This is the single most confusing part of Mojini V3. Most guides treat them interchangeably. They’re not the same document.
11E Sketch — ಭೂ ನಕ್ಷೆ (The Most Common One)
The 11E is the boundary map of your specific survey number. It shows:
- Your plot boundaries in relation to neighbouring plots
- Survey number, area, and dimensions
- Any sub-divisions or hissa numbers
- North-south-east-west orientation
When you need it:
- Property sale/purchase (buyer’s lawyer always asks for this)
- Bank loan against land
- Court cases involving boundary disputes
- Building plan applications in some taluks
Phodi Sketch — ಫೋಡಿ ನಕ್ಷೆ
Phodi means sub-division. This sketch is issued after a large plot has been officially divided into smaller survey numbers.
When you need it:
- When a family divides inherited land among siblings
- When you’ve bought a portion of a larger survey number
- When you want to register a sub-portion as a separate property
Important: You can only get a Phodi sketch after the sub-division mutation is complete in Bhoomi. If mutation is pending, this won’t be issued.
Alienation Sketch — ನಿವೇಶನ ನಕ್ಷೆ
Alienation refers to land that has been officially converted from agricultural use to non-agricultural (residential, commercial). This sketch documents the portion being alienated from the original survey number.
When you need it:
- After DC Conversion is approved
- Before creating e-Swathu Form-9 (GP property record)
- For BBMP/BDA plan approvals in peri-urban areas
Most people don’t know: If you need a home loan on a DC-converted plot, you’ll often need both the Alienation sketch (Mojini) and the Form-9 (e-Swathu). Banks sometimes ask for both.
How to Check Application Status (3 Methods)
If you’ve already submitted an application through Mojini V3, here’s how to track it.
Step 1: Open the Portal
Go to bhoomojini.karnataka.gov.in. Use Chrome or Edge — avoid Internet Explorer.
Step 2: Click Application Status
On the homepage, look for “Application Status” button. It’s prominently placed.
Step 3: Choose Your Search Method
Method A — By Application Number (fastest) Enter the unique application ID you received when you submitted. Click “Get Status.”
Method B — By Mobile Number Enter the mobile number you registered with. All applications linked to that number appear.
Method C — By Survey Number Select: District → Taluk → Hobli → Village → enter Survey/Hissa number. All applications for that land appear.
Step 4: Read Your Status
| Status | What It Means | What To Do |
|---|---|---|
| Submitted | Application received | Wait |
| Pending in Verification | Documents being checked | Check for remarks — might need correction |

| Documents Pending | Missing documents | Check remarks — upload what’s needed |
| Ready for Print | Sketch is ready | Login → View Sketch → Download |
| Approved | Final order issued | Download digitally signed sketch |
| Rejected | Application rejected | Check reason → Correct → Reapply |

Step 8: 2026 update: Biometric e-Sign applied to final order — no office visit needed for collection
⭐ The Surveyor Delay Trap — What Nobody Tells You
This is the single biggest cause of long delays. And it’s completely avoidable.
Here’s the problem: Mojini V3 assigns your survey application to a surveyor based on geographic zone. If that surveyor has 60-80 pending applications, yours goes to the end of the queue. There’s no automated alert when the surveyor is overloaded.
Signs your surveyor is overloaded:
- Status stuck at “Field Survey Pending” for 30+ days
- No surveyor name visible in application tracking
- Division helpline says “pending in queue”
What to do:
- Call your division helpline (numbers below) and ask for your application’s “pending position” with the assigned surveyor
- If you haven’t submitted yet: Check how many pending cases are assigned to surveyors in your hobli — ask the Taluk Survey Office before submitting, and request allocation to a surveyor with fewer pending cases
- If already submitted and stuck: Visit the Taluk Survey Office in person with your application number. Request re-allocation if the wait is unreasonable (legal right after 60+ days)
- 2026 reform: Karnataka now publishes surveyor-wise pending counts on the SSLR dashboard inside Mojini. Check this before selecting your service area during application.
Division-wise Helplines — Call the Right Number

Common Problems and How to Fix Them
“Application Number is showing ‘Not Found'” → Check if you entered the correct application number. It’s case-sensitive (usually all caps). Try searching by Mobile Number instead.
“Status has been ‘Field Survey Pending’ for 45 days” → Call your division helpline. Ask for surveyor assignment and pending count. Visit Taluk Survey Office if 60+ days have passed.
“Sketch downloaded but shows blank/corrupt PDF” → Use Adobe Reader (not browser PDF viewer) for digitally signed PDFs. If blank, try downloading again on a different device. Clear browser cache first.
“I paid ₹15 but can’t download the certified copy” → Payment confirmation typically takes 2-4 hours to reflect. Wait and retry. If 24 hours pass, call division helpline with your payment transaction ID.
“Login page throws ‘Invalid Credentials’ error” → Click “Forgot Password” → Mobile OTP reset. Note: Mojini V3 login is separate from Bhoomi/landrecords login. They are different systems with different credentials.
“Survey number shows no records” → Some old survey numbers are still being digitized. Try searching with Hissa number variation. If still absent, visit Taluk Survey Office — paper records exist but may not be online yet.
“My 11E sketch shows wrong boundaries” → Raise a dispute through Portal → Dispute Cases → Submit correction request. Attach RTC and any previous physical sketch as supporting documents.
Pre-Application Checklist
Before applying for any service on Mojini V3:
☑ Know your Survey Number — exactly, including Hissa if sub-divided ☑ Have RTC/Pahani downloaded from Bhoomi — confirms current ownership ☑ Check existing sketch availability first — many plots already have digitized 11E ☑ Confirm mutation is complete before applying for Phodi sketch ☑ DC Conversion Order in hand before applying for Alienation sketch ☑ Registered mobile number ready — OTP goes here ☑ Online payment method — UPI / Net Banking / Card (no cash) ☑ Check surveyor pending count in your hobli before submitting survey request ☑ Save Application Number after submission — needed for all tracking
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Mojini the same as Bhoomi?
No. Bhoomi (landrecords.karnataka.gov.in) handles land ownership records — who owns the land. Mojini V3 (bhoomojini.karnataka.gov.in) handles survey sketches — the physical boundaries of the land. They’re separate portals managed by different units within the Revenue Department.
How much does an 11E sketch cost on Mojini V3? (11E ಸ್ಕೆಚ್ ಎಷ್ಟು ಖರ್ಚು?)
Viewing is free. Downloading a certified/digitally signed copy costs ₹15 per document. Payment is through the online gateway on the portal.
Is the downloaded Mojini sketch legally valid without a stamp?
Yes. The digitally signed PDF is legally valid under the Karnataka IT Act. Banks, courts, and government offices must accept it. No manual stamp or attestation is required.
How long does a survey take after I apply?
For document requests (existing sketches): typically 7-30 days. For fresh land surveys (field visit required): 30-90 days depending on surveyor availability in your area.
What is the difference between 11E and Phodi sketch?
11E shows the boundaries of your current survey number. Phodi is issued after sub-division — when one large survey number is split into smaller ones. You need Phodi only if your land has been officially subdivided.
Can I apply from mobile? (ಮೊಬೈಲ್ನಿಂದ ಅರ್ಜಿ ಹಾಕಬಹುದೇ?)
Yes. bhoomojini.karnataka.gov.in is mobile-responsive. A dedicated Mojini app is also available on Google Play and App Store. Both English and Kannada interfaces are available.
My application was rejected. Can I reapply?
Yes. Check the rejection reason in the portal (usually in the “Remarks” column). Correct the issue — typically a document mismatch or incomplete information — and submit a fresh application. Rejection doesn’t affect your right to reapply.

One Last Thing
Mojini V3 doesn’t make the surveyor come faster. What it does is remove every unnecessary step around the survey — the queue tokens, the office visits to submit papers, the uncertainty about status, the trip to collect the final document.
Basavanna lost one property deal because he didn’t know this portal existed. He closed the next one in 23 days because he did.
If you have any land in Karnataka — agricultural, rural, or peri-urban — go to bhoomojini.karnataka.gov.in today and check if your 11E sketch is already available. Most existing plots do. It costs ₹15 and takes 5 minutes.
