How to Search 7/12 Land Records by Survey Number or Gat Number

1. Cadastral Land Parcel Identifiers Explained

Agricultural land across India is surveyed and mapped into specific cadastral units. In Maharashtra, the consolidation of fragmented land holdings created Gat Numbers (गट क्रमांक), while standard revenue divisions retain original Survey Numbers (सर्व्हे नंबर). In Gujarat, rural land parcels are designated by Survey Numbers or consolidated Block Numbers (બ્લોક નંબર).

Each parcel may contain multiple sub-divisions, known as Hissa Numbers (पोट हिस्सा). Searching by the exact numerical parcel identifier is the most accurate method to retrieve a 7/12 extract, avoiding phonetic spelling ambiguities common in name searches.

2. Searching on Maharashtra Mahabhulekh

Follow these official steps to search by Gat or Survey Number in Maharashtra:

1. Open Mahabhulekh: Navigate to bhulekh.mahabhumi.gov.in and pick your revenue division.
2. Specify Village Location: Select District, Taluka, and Revenue Village from the cascading menus.
3. Choose Numerical Filter: Select the radio button labeled सर्वे नंबर / गट नंबर.
4. Enter Parcel Digits: Type the primary Gat Number (for example, 142) and click Search.
5. Select Hissa Number: If the land parcel has been sub-divided, a secondary dropdown appears listing all recorded sub-divisions (e.g. 142/1, 142/2A). Select your specific parcel.
6. Complete Verification: Enter the displayed security captcha to render the uncertified 7/12 extract on screen.

3. Searching on Gujarat AnyRoR Portal

In Gujarat, agricultural land records are retrieved through the official AnyRoR system:

1. Open AnyRoR: Go to anyror.gujarat.gov.in and click on View Land Record - Rural.
2. Choose Service: In the service selection dropdown, choose VF-7 By Survey Number (૭-ગામ નમુના નંબર ૭ ની વિગતો).
3. Select Geographic Location: Select District, Taluka, and Village.
4. Enter Survey / Block Number: Select the recorded Survey or Block Number from the numeric list.
5. Submit Captcha: Enter the verification code to display the certified Record of Rights particulars.

4. Understanding Hissa and Pot-Hissa Sub-Divisions

When family partitions or property transfers take place, a single parent Gat Number is divided into multiple sub-shares. Until an official measurement survey (Mojani) is conducted by the Land Records Department (Bhumi Abhilekh) and certified in Form 6 Ferfar, multiple co-owners may remain listed under the parent Gat Number without segregated physical boundaries.
