The 7/12 extract, also known as the Satbara Utara, is one of the most critical documents in Maharashtra real estate. It is maintained by the revenue department and contains details about land ownership, area, crop season, and any existing liabilities or encumbrances on the property. Before purchasing any plot, flat, or farmhouse in Maharashtra, verifying the 7/12 extract is a mandatory step that protects buyers from fraud.
In 2026, the Maharashtra government has made it significantly easier to access the 7/12 extract online through the Bhulekh portal (bhulekh.mahabhumi.gov.in). The digitized records cover all 36 districts of Maharashtra and are updated regularly by Talathis (village revenue officers). You can now check any land record by entering the district, taluka, village name, and survey number.
