Gujarat is one of the few states that has transformed this need into a robust digital system. With platforms like AnyRoR for public viewing and E-Dhara for authenticated record management, the state has created an ecosystem. These systems have streamlined how citizens, farmers, businesses, and NRIs verify land records online. It reduces confusion and minimizes the risks traditionally associated with land transactions.
In this blog, we’ll walk through how to use the AnyRoR portal step-by-step, while also explaining the role of the E-Dhara system that powers it.
What is AnyRoR?
AnyRoR (Any Record of Rights) is the official online portal created by the Revenue Department, Government of Gujarat, to give citizens quick access to land-record details without visiting a Taluka or municipal office. It brings essential land documents into a single, user-friendly interface.
Using AnyRoR, buyers can verify ownership before advancing money, farmers can check survey boundaries, tenants can confirm who legally holds the land, and businesses can ensure a plot is free from disputes. In a state with fast-growing urban and rural markets, having instant access to these records increases transparency, prevents misinformation, and supports more confident decision-making.
While AnyRoR provides public visibility, the core authentication and storage of these records happen in the E-Dhara system.
What is the E-Dhara Portal?
E-Dhara is Gujarat’s primary land-record management system. It is the official database where rural land records are created, updated, and authenticated. Launched as a part of the state’s land-digitisation initiative, E-Dhara centralised all Record of Rights (7/12), VF- 8A entries, mutation details, and survey-level data into a secure, tamper-resistant digital framework.
Every legal change in land ownership goes through E-Dhara first. When a sale deed is registered, a name correction is requested, or a mutation is initiated, the verification and updating process happens at the E-Dhara Kendra located in the Taluka office. Only after the mutation is examined and officially approved does the updated information become part of the master database.
This means the accuracy of AnyRoR depends entirely on the updates made inside the E-Dhara system. If a mutation is pending in E-Dhara, it will not appear on AnyRoR, which is a critical point most users overlook.
How AnyRoR and E-Dhara Work Together
AnyRoR and E-Dhara are two separate systems of the same framework. E-Dhara is where the official, government-verified land records are stored, updated, and maintained. AnyRoR is simply the public-facing window that displays this information.
Whenever you open a 7/12 extract, VF8A entry, other VF forms, or survey detail on AnyRoR, the portal is pulling live data directly from the E-Dhara database. This means the accuracy of what you see depends entirely on whether the corresponding mutation or correction has been approved at the E-Dhara Kendra.
If a land sale has recently taken place, but the mutation is still under review at the Taluka office, AnyRoR will continue to show the old owner. Similarly, if a correction request, partition entry, or inheritance mutation has not been fully updated, the online version remains unchanged.
This relationship is the backbone of Gujarat’s land administration system:
E-Dhara ensures authenticity
AnyRoR ensures accessibility
Looking into this ecosystem helps users avoid common misunderstandings, especially when records appear “outdated” online.
How to Access Urban Land Records on AnyRoR
Urban land records in Gujarat, such as building-level ownership, unit details, TP (Town Planning) numbers, and Property Cards, are all accessible through the Urban section of the AnyRoR portal. Here’s how to view them:
Step 1: Visit the Official AnyRoR Portal
Open the government website on any device.
Step 2: Select “View Land Record – Urban”
This opens the section dedicated to city properties and non-agricultural land.
Step 3: Choose the Record Type
You will typically see two key options:
Property Card (Original Card) – for standalone plots or entire properties
Unit Property Card – for flats, apartments, or individual units within a building
Step 4: Enter Location Details
Select:
District
City Survey Office
Ward Number
Survey Number
Sheet Number
Step 5: Submit Captcha and View Record
Once the captcha is verified, the system displays:
Owner name
Property boundaries and identification
Usage type (residential, commercial, mixed)
Unit details for apartment structures
What to Look For
Urban users should pay close attention to:
Owner’s full name and spelling
Encumbrance notes (if displayed)
Unit mapping accuracy
Sheet and ward numbers match physical documents
This ensures that the property card you see online corresponds exactly to the property you intend to verify.
Step-by-Step: How to Access Rural Land Records on AnyRoR
Rural land records, such as agricultural plots, survey boundaries, and village-level forms, are deeply integrated with the E-Dhara database. Accessing them on AnyRoR involves the following steps:
Step 1: Go to the AnyRoR Website
Open the portal through a secure connection.
Step 2: Click on “View Land Record – Rural”
This section is dedicated to the village and agricultural lands.
Step 3: Select the Document Type
You can choose from:
7/12 (Record of Rights)
8A Khata details
VF-6 (Entry details)
VF-7 (Survey details)
VF-8 (Khata extract)
Old scanned records
Each serves a different purpose, but all are sourced from the E-Dhara database.
Step 4: Select Location Details
Choose:
District
Taluka
Village
These must match exactly with the revenue records.
Step 5: Enter the Survey/Block Number
This is the most crucial input. Even a single-digit error will return “Record Not Found.”
Step 6: Complete Captcha and Submit
The system will fetch the corresponding rural record from E-Dhara.
Step 7: Review the Record Carefully
You will see:
Owner name
Survey area
Type of land
Cultivation details (where applicable)
Tenancy, encumbrance, and mutation notes
Historical VF entries (if available)
Important Note
If a mutation (heirship, sale, partition, correction) is still pending at the E-Dhara Kendra, it will not reflect on AnyRoR until officially approved.
How to Download a Digitally Signed RoR (Legal Extract)

Provide District → Taluka → Village, and enter the correct Survey/Block Number.
Step 6: Proceed to Payment (if applicable)
Some digitally certified documents may include a small fee.
Step 7: Download the Digitally Signed RoR
The downloaded file includes:
Digital signature

E-Dhara authentication
Metadata confirming accuracy
Since this record is pulled directly from the E-Dhara database, it is considered the official and authoritative extract for legal use.
