RS Record


RS stands for Revisional Settlement. It is one of the historical record sets used in West Bengal land administration.


LR Record


LR stands for Land Reforms. The LR record reflects later updates and is often the current working record for most purposes today.

For older land parcels, inconsistencies between RS and LR records can affect transactions. A careful cross-check and, where needed, a digital survey helps confirm the physical position.
