Combined four village map sheets on my phone in minutes
The editor worked perfectly on my phone. I uploaded the four adjacent survey sheets (S1, S2, S3, S4), aligned the edges where they meet, and exported a single print-ready map in minutes — no office visit and no surveyor needed. Best of all, the sheets stayed private on my phone the whole time. Simple, fast and accurate.
Joined my own FMB sheets in the editor — nothing to install
I downloaded my village map and FMB sketches and used the in-browser editor to join them myself. I just dragged each sheet onto the canvas and nudged the pieces with the arrow keys until the boundary lines lined up exactly. There was no software to install, and the maps never left my device. One payment covered the whole thing, and the export came out clean and sharp. Brilliant tool!
Got my combined FMB from home — no office visits needed
VillageMapJoiner made joining my land's FMB sketches really easy — I got the combined map from home without running to any office. When I asked for the old FMB, they clearly guided me that it's available at the District Collector office. Good service.
Incredible service for peace of mind!
I used this website to get a Joined FMB map, and the entire experience was seamless and fast. By combining individual sketches into one continuous view, it clearly illustrates how my property lines interact with adjacent plots. Having this definitive, highly accurate map leaves zero room for arguments and completely eliminates the risk of boundary disputes with neighbors. It is a fantastic platform that saves a lot of hassle—highly recommended!
What you can join
However many sheets it takes
There is no limit on the number of sheets, and they don't have to come from the same village.
Join two Khasra numbers
Land recorded as two adjoining khasra numbers has a sheet for each and neither shows the whole property. Put both on one canvas and the boundary they share lines up.
How it works →Join subdivisions of one Khasra number
A khasra number split between heirs or buyers is issued as a sheet per share. Bring the shares you need back together to see the parent parcel whole.
How it works →Show each share on one map
After a partition every share sits on its own sheet. Assemble them into a single map that shows who holds what, and how the shares sit against each other.
How it works →Prove a boundary against the next parcel
A boundary argument is about two khasra numbers, and one sheet only ever shows one of them. Joined, the shared edge is visible in one drawing.
How it works →Join two villages
Land that crosses a village boundary needs Shajra / cadastral map sheets from both sides. Place them side by side and the holding stops being two half-views.
How it works →Merge contiguous parcels for a layout
Several khasra numbers bought together are one site on the ground and several sheets on paper. Join them into the single plan a layout, a valuer or an investor file needs.
How it works →Who uses it in Ladakh: Families, advocates and buyers around Leh, Kargil, Nubra and Zanskar use it for the case these records produce most: a holding spread over several Khasra numbers in one village, joined into one plan for an Intiqal, a bank loan, a demarcation request or a court file.

Ladakh was part of Jammu and Kashmir until 2019, and its land records still follow the J&K system, which shares an origin with Punjab's. Each field is a Khasra number on the village map, the Shajra. The Jamabandi is the record of rights that says who holds it, the Khasra Girdawari notes what is grown and who is in possession, and an Intiqal records a transfer. The records are kept by the Patwari and the tehsil in Leh and Kargil districts.
The map is the part that comes in pieces. The Musavi is the settlement map a village was surveyed onto, drawn across several sheets, and the Shajra sheets derive from it. A holding whose Khasra numbers straddle two sheets is cut by the sheet border. Collect every sheet from the Patwari or the tehsil office, then line them up along their shared boundaries in Village Map Joiner's in-browser editor. Nothing is uploaded.
Villages in Ladakh are spread along valleys and far apart, and cultivated land often sits in narrow strips beside streams and irrigation channels, with large areas of government and grazing land around them. That makes the joined map useful: several Khasra sheets placed side by side show where a holding sits against the channel, the track and the land around it that is not private.

Ladakh land records & documents
What each Ladakh land document is, and how to get it from Ladakh land-records office before you join the sheets in the editor.
Shajra / Musavi (village map)
The field map of a revenue village, showing each Khasra number with its boundaries. The Musavi is the settlement map the village was surveyed onto; the Shajra sheets derive from it. A village runs across several sheets, so a holding near a sheet edge comes out cut, which is why these are the sheets people join.
How to get it: Ask the Patwari of your village or the tehsil office in Leh or Kargil district, quoting the village and every Khasra number. Collect every sheet your numbers fall on. Check the administration's current online services first, since what is published online changes.
Jamabandi and Fard
The periodic record of rights for a village: the Khewat (ownership account), owners and cultivators, and each Khasra number with its area. It says who holds the land. A certified copy of an entry is called a Fard, and it is the copy a bank, a court or a registration asks for.
How to get it: From the Patwari or the tehsil for the village. Use the Khasra numbers written here, including any split ones, for every map request, so the sheets you get match the record.
Khasra Girdawari
The crop inspection recorded against each Khasra number at harvest: what was sown and who was in possession. It keeps the Jamabandi's description of the land current, and it is often relied on to show possession at a particular time.
How to get it: Maintained by the Patwari and checked by the Girdawar. Ask the Patwari or the tehsil for the entries covering the period you need.
Intiqal (mutation)
The entry that records a transfer of a Khasra holding by sale, gift, inheritance or partition. Until it is attested, the Jamabandi still names the previous holder.
How to get it: Entered by the Patwari and attested by the revenue officer. Ask the tehsil about the status of an Intiqal for your Khasra numbers before relying on a Jamabandi for a purchase.

FAQ
Questions people in Ladakh ask
- How do I get a Shajra for my village in Ladakh?
- Note the district, tehsil and village as your Jamabandi spells them and list the Khasra numbers you hold. Ask the Patwari of your village, or the tehsil office, for the Shajra sheet each number falls on. What is available online changes, so check the administration's current services first. Then drag every sheet onto the Village Map Joiner canvas, align the shared boundary lines and export one map.
- Are Ladakh's land records the same as Jammu and Kashmir's?
- They use the same kinds of record, because Ladakh's revenue system was inherited from Jammu and Kashmir: Shajra, Khasra, Jamabandi, Girdawari and Intiqal. Since 2019 they are kept by Ladakh's own administration in Leh and Kargil, not by the J&K departments, so ask Ladakh's offices for them.
- What is the difference between the Jamabandi and the Shajra?
- The Jamabandi is the text record: the Khewat (ownership account), the owners and cultivators, and each Khasra number with its area. The Shajra is the map that shows where those Khasra numbers are and how their boundaries run. A Fard is a certified copy of a Jamabandi entry. You usually need both, and only the map has to be joined.
- Are my Ladakh land records uploaded anywhere?
- No. The editor renders, crops and joins the sheets entirely in your browser, so your Khasra and Jamabandi details never leave your device. Nothing is stored on a server.
