Case Study: How a Ferfar Entry Corrected Ownership Records in Maharashtra

The Problem

Siddharth purchased an agricultural plot in Nashik district, Maharashtra, through a registered Sale Deed.

When he later approached the bank for an agricultural loan, the officer raised an objection. The land records still reflected the previous owner’s name.

Although Siddharth legally owned the land, the 7/12 Extract had not been updated due to a pending Ferfar entry.

Without mutation:

• Loan approval was blocked
• Future resale carried legal risk
• Revenue and tax records remained incorrect

The Turning Point

A document expert advised Siddharth to check and complete the Ferfar process officially. He applied through mypatta, avoiding repeated visits to the Talathi office.

• ✔ Sale Deed details verified
• ✔ Ferfar status checked
• ✔ Documents submitted for mutation
• ✔ Ownership updated in revenue records
• ✔ Loan process resumed without objections

The Ferfar entry officially recorded Siddharth as the landowner.

Why Ferfar Matters in Maharashtra

• Mutation Tracking: Confirms whether ownership changes are recorded
• Updated Land Records: Reflects the current owner’s name
• Survey Verification: Confirms survey number and land area
• Property Transactions: Essential before resale or registration
• Loans & Legal Use: Mandatory for banks and legal verification

Key Takeaway: Without Ferfar, ownership is incomplete in revenue records.
