To check your 7/12 or 8A online in Gujarat, open anyror.gujarat.gov.in, click View Land Record – Rural, choose VF-7 Survey No Details (the 7/12) or VF-8A Khata Details (the 8A), then pick district, taluka, village and your survey or khata number and type the CAPTCHA. Viewing is free and needs no login. This guide shows the exact steps, how to read every column, how to get a signed copy, and what to do if something on the record looks wrong.
What are the 7/12 and 8A, and what do they prove?
The 7/12 extract, called VF-7 on AnyROR (gam namuna 7), is the record of rights for one survey or block number. It shows who is recorded as the holder, the area, the land-revenue assessment, the tenure and the numbered entries that changed it over time. The "12" part records cultivation and crops.
The 8A (VF-8A) is the khata view. It lists every survey number held under one account, with total area and assessment. If your family holds four fields in a village, one 8A shows all four.
What neither one proves is title. They show who the revenue department has recorded, based on mutation entries. Ownership comes from registered documents: a sale deed, gift deed, partition, will or court decree. Keep your deeds with your 7/12, and read our guide to mutation and why it is not title if this is new.
How do you check the 7/12 or 8A on AnyROR, step by step?
You need the district, taluka, village and either the survey/block number (for the 7/12) or the khata number (for the 8A). Then follow the dropdowns in this order.
Open AnyROR and choose Rural
Type anyror.gujarat.gov.in yourself and click View Land Record – Rural. Urban plots under a city survey office use View Land Record – Urban instead.Pick the record type
From the first dropdown choose VF-7 SURVEY NO DETAILS for the 7/12, or VF-8A KHATA DETAILS for the 8A.Choose district, then taluka, then village
Each list loads after the previous choice. Villages appear in Gujarati and English. If yours is missing, see the fixes below.Choose the survey number or type the khata number
For VF-7, pick the survey or block number from the list. For VF-8A, type the khata number in the box.Type the CAPTCHA and get the record
Enter the six digits shown and click Get Record Detail. Note the date the record is shown "as on", and save a screenshot or PDF.

The other AnyROR options worth knowing
The same record-type dropdown hides several useful searches:
- VF-6 ENTRY DETAILS: open any entry (nondh) by its number and read what it did.
- 135-D NOTICE FOR MUTATION: notices issued for proposed changes.
- ENTRY LIST BY MONTH-YEAR: every entry made in a village in a given month.
- KNOW KHATA BY OWNER NAME and KNOW OWNER DETAILS IN OTHER LANGUAGE: find a khata from a name, or read names outside Gujarati.
- OLD SCANNED VF-7/12 DETAILS and OLD SCANNED VF-6 ENTRY DETAILS: older handwritten records.
- REVENUE CASE DETAILS: revenue cases about the land.
How do you read every part of the 7/12?
Read it top to bottom: the parcel, the holders, then the entries and charges. The example below uses invented names and numbers to show where each item sits.
| Part of the 7/12 | Illustrative example | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Survey / block number | 245/2 | The parcel this page describes. A slash shows a sub-division. |
| UPIN | A unique parcel number | A state-wide ID for the parcel, handy when quoting it to officials. |
| Area (H.Are.SqMt) | 1-21-40 | 1 hectare, 21 are, 40 sq m. 1 hectare = 100 are; 1 are = 100 sq m. |
| Assessment (akar) | Rs 18.50 | Land revenue due on the parcel. Small, but an unexpected change is worth a question. |
| Tenure | Old tenure / new tenure | Whether the land can be freely transferred or needs permission. |
| Khata number | 312 | The account this survey sits under. Open it with VF-8A. |
| Holders, with entry numbers | Owner A (1268), Owner B (2299) | Each recorded name, with the entry that put it there in brackets. |
| Entry (nondh) numbers | 1268, 2299 | Every change on this parcel. Look each one up under VF-6. |
| Encumbrances and other rights (boja) | Crop loan, Bank X (2301) | Loans, charges or rights noted on the land, each tied to an entry. |
Two things trip people up. First, the area is in hectares, not the bigha or vigha your family uses; convert it with our land unit converter. Second, names are in Gujarati script, so match them by entry number rather than spelling.
The 8A reads the same way, but per khata: the holders once, then a row per survey number with area and assessment, and a total.
How do you get a digitally signed or certified 7/12 and 8A?
Use Digitally Signed RoR on the AnyROR home page (it opens the state's i-ORA portal). The official procedure is short:
- Enter your mobile number and the CAPTCHA, then click Generate OTP and log in with the code.
- Choose the village form you need (7/12, 8A or an entry), with district, taluka, village and survey, khata or entry number, and click Add Village Form. Add as many as you need.
- Click Proceed For Payment and pay online. Payment is online only, and the fee is shown before you pay.
- Click Download RoR. The file stays in your login for 24 hours, so download it straight away.
The state's procedure says the digitally signed form is a copy recognised by the state government. Each one carries a QR code and a unique number, so a bank, lawyer or you can check it against the server copy at anyror.gujarat.gov.in/rorverify.aspx.
If you need a stamped paper copy instead, the talati at the village or the mamlatdar office can issue one. A relative can usually collect it, since the 7/12 is a public record.
What goes wrong on AnyROR, and how do you fix it?
Most problems are small. Here are the common ones.
- The page will not load or shows "Application Error". The portal is busy or down. Try again later in the day, or at night India time; our India office hours planner helps. From abroad, it may not load at all on some networks, so try another connection or ask someone in India.
- The village is not listed. Gujarat has created new districts and talukas over the years, so check the neighbouring new taluka. Villages are listed by revenue name, which can differ from the local name.
- The survey number is missing. It may have been closed after a non-agricultural (NA) order; check KNOW CLOSED SURVEY NO DETAIL. In re-surveyed (promulgated) villages the number may have changed; use NEW SURVEY NO FROM OLD FOR PROMULGATED VILLAGE.
- You only know the owner's name. Use KNOW KHATA BY OWNER NAME, trying a few Gujarati spellings and the father's name.
- The CAPTCHA keeps failing. It is six digits on a patterned background. Refresh it if it is unreadable and type only digits.
- The signed copy needs an OTP. The OTP goes to the mobile number you enter. An Indian number is the safest choice; if yours is not in India, ask a relative to log in with theirs.
How do you spot a suspicious change on your 7/12?
Compare today's record with the last copy you saved. Three changes deserve attention: a new entry number you do not recognise, a new name among the holders, and a changed area or a new charge under boja.
Then dig one level deeper:
- Open the new entry number under VF-6 ENTRY DETAILS to see what it claims: a sale, a gift, a varsai (inheritance), a loan.
- Check 135-D NOTICE FOR MUTATION for your village. A notice means a change has been proposed and may not be certified yet.
- Scan ENTRY LIST BY MONTH-YEAR for the village around the date.
- If the entry cites a registered deed, check what was registered with an encumbrance certificate or registry search.
Who to contact, and in what order
- Talati (village accountant, the local patwari): ask what the entry is based on and get a copy of the 135-D notice.
- Mamlatdar (the taluka revenue officer, Gujarat's tehsildar): file a written objection against the pending entry, with your deed and ID.
- Deputy Collector (Prant officer) and above: certified entries are usually challenged by appeal to higher revenue officers, within a time limit.
- Police, if documents look forged. Gujarat also has a Land Grabbing (Prohibition) Act, 2020.
Exact forms, deadlines and the right forum depend on the case, so talk to a local property lawyer before filing. Our Gujarat state guide covers local risks.
How can an NRI handle all of this from abroad?
You can do most of it yourself. Viewing the 7/12 and 8A needs no login, so check from home and save dated copies. The digitally signed copy needs a mobile OTP, and the payment is online.
For anything in person, such as collecting a stamped copy, asking the talati about an entry or handing in an objection, a relative can go on your behalf. Reading a public record does not need a power of attorney. Give them only what the task needs: the survey number, a signed letter if you are filing an objection, and copies of your ID and deed. Avoid signing blank papers or broad authority.
How do you keep watch on your 7/12 after today?
By hand, the routine is simple: open your VF-7 and VF-8A every month or two, compare entry numbers and names with your last copy, and check the 135-D notices for your village. The trouble is remembering, and noticing a single new entry number in Gujarati script.
PlotPehra does that check for you. We read your official Gujarat record every week and flag a new entry, a new name, a changed share or a changed area. Because a forged sale is invisible from space and a fence on the ground is invisible on paper, we also watch the plot itself with Sentinel-2 satellite imagery. A real person reviews every alert and explains it in English and Gujarati, by email and WhatsApp. No power of attorney, ever.

Questions people ask
VF-7 is the 7/12 for one survey or block number: holders, area, assessment, tenure and entries. VF-8A is the khata (account) view: every survey number held under one khata, with the total area and assessment. Use VF-7 to check a field and VF-8A to check a family's whole holding.
The free view is for information. For banks, courts and registration, use a digitally signed village form bought through the Digitally Signed RoR service, which carries a QR code and unique number that anyone can verify on AnyROR, or a certified copy from the talati or mamlatdar office.
Viewing needs no login, only a CAPTCHA, but the portal sometimes does not load from networks outside India. Try a different time, browser or network, or ask a relative in India to open it and send you a screenshot or a digitally signed copy.
It is the notice issued to people with an interest in the land when a mutation entry is proposed in the record of rights. AnyROR lets you look these up under 135-D Notice for Mutation, so you can see a pending change before it is certified.
The inheritance (varsai) entry has probably not been made. Apply for it through the talati or the state's online revenue applications, with the death certificate and heirship papers. A local property lawyer can confirm the documents your taluka asks for.
