Normally people are accustomed to the rules related to buying a flat or an apartment. However, what if you want to buy a plot in Maharashtra? In such cases, the ‘7/12’ or ‘Satbara Utara’ extract is a crucial document. The Maharashtra government is now providing 7/12 documents online through the Maha Bhulekh portal, which is a one-stop platform for searching, downloading and extracting land documents in the state. Also known as Maharashtra Bhumi Abhilekh, it is a land record website of Maharashtra state that provides 7/12 extract and 8A extract online to citizens.
What is the satbara 7/12 extract?
Each district in Maharashtra has a land register that contains the details of lands in that district. The 7/12 is an extract from such a register, which gives complete details of a particular plot. A 7/12 extract is issued by the revenue department, through the tahsildar and it consists of details such as ownership of the plot, occupancy, liabilities on the plot, survey number detail, date of ownership, etc. The 7/12 extract shows the village form number. The number 7 represents Form VII that contains details of the owners and their rights, while 12 represents Form XII that contains details of the agricultural features of the land.
Form VII has details such as the rights record, occupants’ details, ownership details, tenant information, revenue obligation of the holders and other details related to the land. Form XII contains details related to crops, its type and area covered by the crops.
The 7/12 extract is not a conclusive document to prove the ownership, but it is only a record to ascertain revenue liability. The title of the property cannot be transferred, on the basis of a 7/12 extract.
