About Tehsils in Baramula District

Baramula District in Jammu and Kashmir is divided into 21 tehsils (also known as tehsils, mandals, or subdivisions in different parts of India). These sub-district administrative divisions collectively cover approximately 1,104 villages and form the critical link between the district administration and grassroots communities.

Each tehsil in Baramula District is headed by a Tahsildar (also called Tehsil Officer or Revenue Officer), who serves as the primary administrative authority at the sub-district level. The Tahsildar and their team are responsible for maintaining land records and property documentation, collecting land revenue and property taxes, issuing essential government certificates (income, caste, residence, nativity), processing property mutations and transfers, implementing government welfare schemes, conducting local elections and census operations, and serving as first-level magistrate for minor legal matters. The tehsil office (Taluk/Tehsil/Mandal office) is where citizens interact most frequently with the government for day-to-day administrative needs.
