What is 7/12 Utara Maharashtra (सातबारा उतारा)?
The 7/12 utara, also written as 7 12 utara, Satbara, or ७/१२ उतारा, is an official land record maintained by the Revenue Department of Maharashtra under the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966. It is issued for every survey or gat number in rural and semi-urban areas and is updated by the village Talathi.
It is the first document a buyer, bank, or lawyer checks before any land deal in Maharashtra, because it shows the current owner, the land's size and type, and any liabilities recorded against it.
What Does 7/12 Mean? Form VII and Form XII Explained
The name "7/12" comes from the two village forms combined into one extract:
- Village Form VII (गाव नमुना सात) – The Record of Rights. It shows the owner, tenure, area, land revenue, and other rights such as loans, tenancy, or mortgages.
- Village Form XII (गाव नमुना बारा) – The Crop Inspection Register (पीक पाहणी). It records which crops were grown in each season, the irrigated and unirrigated area, and the source of irrigation.
Together, Form VII tells you who holds the land and Form XII tells you how the land is being used.

How to Find Your Gat Number or Survey Number
In many Maharashtra villages, old survey numbers were replaced by gat numbers (गट नंबर) after land consolidation. If you don't know your gat number, you can find it from:
- Your sale deed or Index II registration document
- An older 7/12 or 8A extract of the same land
- The village map on Bhunaksha, which shows plot boundaries and numbers
- Your village Talathi office
7/12 vs 8A vs Ferfar vs Property Card
- 7/12 Utara – Ownership and cultivation details for one survey/gat number
- 8A Extract (८अ उतारा) – Lists all land held by one account holder (khatedar) in a village, along with the total land revenue due
- e-Ferfar (फेरफार) – The mutation register that records why the 7/12 changed, such as a sale, inheritance, or partition
- Property Card (मालमत्ता पत्रक) – The equivalent record for urban and city survey land, where a 7/12 is not maintained
For full due diligence on agricultural land, check the 7/12, the 8A, and the Ferfar entries together. All three are available on mypatta.
What to Do If Your 7/12 Has a Wrong Name or Error
- Name not updated after purchase or inheritance – Apply for mutation (ferfar) through the Maharashtra e-Hakk system or at the Talathi office with your sale deed or legal heir documents
- Spelling or clerical error – Apply to the Tahsildar for correction under Section 155 of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966

After the correction is approved, download a fresh 7/12 to confirm the update.
