Mojini 11E Sketch Karnataka: How to Apply and Check (2026)

Mojini and the 11E Sketch in Karnataka: What Buyers of Part-Parcel Land Must Know

Short version: If you’re buying only part of a survey number in Karnataka, you need an 11E sketch. It’s a survey drawing, made by the survey department, that marks the exact portion being sold. You can check an existing sketch, or apply for a new one, on Mojini (Bhoomojini). Registration and mutation of a part-parcel deal depend on it, so order it before you talk price, because it can take weeks or months.

Most Karnataka farmland and peri-urban plots aren’t sold as a whole survey number. They’re sold as a piece of one. That’s where the 11E sketch comes in, and where many deals get stuck.

What is Mojini?

Mojini V3, hosted as Bhoomojini at bhoomojini.karnataka.gov.in, is the online counter of the survey department (Survey, Settlement and Land Records, part of the Revenue Department). Where Bhoomi shows who holds a survey number and how much, Mojini is where you ask the department to measure and draw it.

You use it to:

• view an 11E sketch or other sketch that has already been issued,

• track an application by its number,

• apply for a new 11E sketch before a part-parcel sale,

• request a podi (subdivision) so each share gets its own hissa,

• request boundary fixing and other survey work,

• request copies of survey documents such as the Tippan and Akarband.

What is an 11E sketch?

An 11E sketch, also called a pre-mutation sketch, is a survey drawing of the part of a survey number being sold, gifted or divided. It shows the portion’s boundaries and measurements, so the registration and the mutation can describe precisely what is being transferred.

Without one, a registered deed for part of a survey number may describe land that the revenue record can’t pin down. Karnataka’s government audit records show it has been a requirement for mutations involving part extents since 2006, and registration offices ask for it for part-parcel sales.

When do you need it?

It’s mainly for agricultural, rural and unconverted land.

How do 11E, podi, FMB and Tippan differ?

A podi sketch still has to go through mutation on Bhoomi before the new hissa appears in the RTC.

How do I check an 11E sketch that already exists?

Use this when the seller says a sketch has already been made.

1. Go to bhoomojini.karnataka.gov.in.

2. Open the View Sketch option.

3. Enter the application number, or search by district, taluk, hobli, village and survey number.

4. View or download the sketch. Practitioner guides say viewing is free, but check the portal.

5. If you only have an application number, check its status. Typical statuses are “Pending in Verification” and “Ready for Print”. A sketch that’s still pending isn’t a finished document.

6. Compare what you see with the RTC and the deed.

How do I apply for an 11E sketch?

Use this when no sketch exists.

1. Go to bhoomojini.karnataka.gov.in and log in with your mobile number and OTP.

2. Choose the 11E (pre-mutation) sketch service.

3. Enter the district, taluk, hobli, village and the survey number and hissa being divided.

4. Describe the portion to be sold, and upload the RTC and ID proof.

5. Pay the survey fee online and note the application number.

6. Track the status with that number.

7. A surveyor visits the land. When the sketch is ready, view or download it with the View Sketch option.

Fee: it varies by service, so check the portal. One guide reports about Rs 15 per survey document and Rs 500 to Rs 2,000 for survey requests like boundary fixing or subdivision.

Time: it depends on the surveyor’s visit, and guides report anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.

Who applies: usually the owner or seller, since it’s their survey number. As a buyer, make it a condition of the deal.

What should a buyer check on the sketch?

1. The survey number, surnoc and hissa match the RTC and the deed.

2. The extent (in acres and guntas) matches the area in the agreement.

3. The boundaries and neighbours match the description in the deed.

4. There’s access: a road or path to the portion, and it’s shown on the sketch.

5. The portion doesn’t overlap another buyer’s part, a government boundary or a tank bed.

6. The sketch matches what you saw on the ground.

7. Keep the application number and a downloaded copy with the deal papers.

Where does it fit in the deal?

1. Pull the RTC at hissa level on Bhoomi.

2. Read the EC on Kaveri.

3. Check or order the 11E sketch before you agree on price.

4. Check the sketch against the ground.

5. Register, then follow the mutation. A part-extent mutation needs the sketch.

6. Download a fresh signed RTC when the mutation is done.
