Maharashtra Land Records - Bhulekh Mahabhumi

Bhulekh Mahabhumi is a digital initiative by the Government of Maharashtra. It is a portal that lets the residents of Maharashtra access property and land-related information easily with a few clicks. The Government of Maharashtra maintains this portal and records all details of land and property located in the state.

 

You can access the following information on the Maharashtra Land Records portal – Bhulekh Mahabhumi:

• Malmatta Patrak (property cards)

• Satbara Utara (7/12 Extract) 

• 8A Extract 

The details of the Bhulekh Mahabhumi portal are mentioned in the table below:

Every district in Bhulekh Mahabhumi maintains a register containing information about lands in the district. The 7/12 utara (satbara utara) is an extract from such a register that contains the full details of a particular plot. 

 

The tehsildar’s office issues it on behalf of the Revenue Department and comprises details and services regarding:

• Changes in Land/Plot Ownership

• Survey Number

• Mutation Numbers

• Type of Land (Agricultural/Non-Agricultural)

• Type of Cultivation or Crop (For Agricultural Land)

• Type of Irrigation

• Area of the Land- Fit for Cultivation

• Cultivator’s Name

• Occupancy Rights

• Details of Pending Litigations and Disputes in Land Title

• Details of Paid and Unpaid Taxes

 

The numeric 7/12 denotes a combination of two village form numbers – Form VII and Form XII. While Form VII contains details of land ownership and rights, Form XII contains information related to the agricultural features of the land. 

The Revenue Department of the Maharashtra Government maintains the 7/12 extract in the state. It is also known as the 'Saath Baara Utara’ in Marathi. It acts as ownership proof of the agricultural land. 

 

It also shows details such as the ownership status, occupancy, total liabilities, rights over the plot, and other aspects of its ownership. The extract includes components from Village Form VII and Village Form XII. Combined, these forms create the 7/12 extract.

• A property card is also useful for the purpose of gathering ancestral ownership details concerning a land 

• It comes in handy to settle any disputes or prevent illegal acquisition of land

• It is also used to detect false claims on a land plot

• You require this document at the time of finalising a real estate agreement
