A Malmatta Patrak or a property card is an ownership title document of property in urban areas. The local authorities in Maharashtra issue these cards. Here are the reasons why these cards are important:

• A property card also acts as ownership proof 

• It can serve its purpose in several situations, like when buying or selling a land plot

• These cards also serve as ownership proof for the residential units

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

• A variety of stakeholders like banks, local government bodies, loan agents, other financial institutions, and property dealers may also require it

If you want to remove a name from 7/12 Utara, you need to get in touch with the local tehsildar. You will have to provide the necessary documents for the purpose. If the person whose name you want to remove has legal heirs, you have to get their approval. 

In case your name is removed from Satbara fraudulently, you can lodge a complaint to Mahabhumi Abhilekh authorities. 

Experts say after the removal of the name, the mutation entry still exists. Hence, if you access the 7/12 mutation record, you will learn about the documents that were used to remove the name.
