What is 7/12 extract?
Also called: Satbara, Satbara utara, 7/12 utara
The 7/12 (Satbara) extract is the land record of rights in Maharashtra and Gujarat, combining Village Form 7 (ownership) and Form 12 (cultivation and crops) for a survey number.
The name comes from two village forms: Form VII records the holder, area, land type and rights; Form XII records who cultivates the land and what crops are grown. Together they describe one survey or gat number.
In Maharashtra it is available through Mahabhumi, and in Gujarat through AnyROR. Both states also use an 8A extract, which lists every survey number held under one khata.
Changes to the 7/12 are made through mutation entries — called ferfar in Maharashtra and hakk patrak entries in Gujarat.
Why it matters if you live abroad
The 7/12 is the first thing anyone checks before buying or disputing land in these states, so make sure your name — and every heir’s — is on it.
