In Bihar, the state government has decided to extend the ongoing process of land survey and settlement for another one year. Now the deadline of completion of the survey across the state has been fixed July 2026. Additional Chief Secretary (ACS) of Revenue and Land Reforms Dipak Kumar Singh informed that earlier deadline of survey, which was July 2025 has been extended by a year to minimize inconvenience faced by people.

The ACS said that the extension of deadline for land survey will ensure transparency. Mr. Singh said that the motto of the whole exercise is to help the genuine people with digitized land records to redress the prevalent disputes.

The exercise of land survey and settlement was started this year in September and the government had fixed the target for completion of it in one year. The whole process created political row as widespread complaints of corruption, irregularities by local officials of the department started coming out from several districts.
