8A Extract Online Maharashtra | What It Is, vs 7/12, How to Download
The 8A extract (आठ-अ उतारा, also called the khate pustika or holding statement) is the document banks ask for after the 7/12 - it lists every survey number one owner holds in a village, the total area, and the annual assessment. Here is what it means, how it differs from the 7/12, and the official free download path.

1. What is the 8A extract in Maharashtra?
The 8A is the holding statement for one khata (revenue account). Where the 7/12 describes a single survey / gat number, the 8A rolls up every parcel standing in that account in the village: holder name, each survey number, area, class, and the annual land-revenue assessment (जुजी). Searchers type “8a extract meaning”, “8a extract in property”, “8a online maharashtra” and “form 8a extract” - they all point at this one register. Read it with the free 8A reader and the 7/12 reader.
2. 8A vs 7/12 vs Ferfar - the three-document picture
7/12 = this parcel, today (owners, area, crops, loans, mote). 8A = this owner, in this village (every survey under the khata, totalled). Ferfar = how the 7/12 got here (sale, gift, partition, inheritance, NA, court order). A title file that stops at the 7/12 can miss a mortgage sitting on a sibling parcel in the same khata — that is why crop-loan and mortgage files ask for both.
Urban CTS plots use a property card instead of 7/12; the 8A still matters on the agricultural fringe.
3. How to view and download the 8A online
- 01Step 1Open Mahabhulekh (bhulekh.mahabhumi.gov.in or bhulekh.mahabhumi.gov.in).
- 02Step 2Navigate to the district → taluka → village level.
- 03Step 3Search by khata number or owner name — not only by survey number.
- 04Step 4Open the 8A / खते view.
- 05Step 5Save the unsigned copy for an initial check.
- 06Step 6For official use in a bank or court, order the QR-signed copy via Aaple Abhilekh (aapleabhilekh.mahabhumi.gov.in) or Digital Satbara.
Viewing the unsigned extract is free; the signed copy incurs a small government fee. Any site charging for the extract itself is reselling a public record.
4. How to read the 8A columns
Khata number at the top is the account ID that ties every row. Holder name must match the 7/12 bhogvatdar and the seller on the deed - a mismatch is a pending mutation, not a spelling quirk. Total area is the sum of every survey under the khata; if it is smaller than the 7/12 you were shown, a hissa is missing. Annual assessment is the land-revenue demand the talathi bills. The parcel list (survey + area + class) is the cross-check against each 7/12. Trees, wells and fallow flags sometimes appear as remarks - they change NA and valuation.
5. When a bank, buyer or NA file needs the 8A
Crop loans and agricultural mortgages require 7/12 of the mortgaged parcel plus 8A of the borrower’s full village holding. For family partition, the 8A is the starting inventory. In NA conversion, the collector demands the full holding, not just one gat. A Pune / Baramati buyer on a fringe plot should obtain the 8A before the token — a "clean 7/12" with a loaded 8A is a different deal. Use the signed copy for the loan file; the Mahabhulekh view is only a first pass.
6. Common 8A problems and the fix
Name spelling vs Aadhaar / PAN: file a correction Ferfar, do not "live with it". Khata split after a partition that never closed: the 8A still shows the old joint holding until the mutation sanctions. Survey listed on 8A but missing on Mahabhunakasha: unmapped hissa or pending Ferfar - stop and verify at the talathi. Digital copy rejected by the bank: they want the QR-signed Aaple Abhilekh / Digital Satbara PDF, not a screenshot.
Real questions, real answers.
What is the 8A extract in Maharashtra land records?
+
The 8A (आठ-अ / khate pustika) is the holding statement for one khata: every survey number that owner holds in the village, total area, and annual assessment. The 7/12 is per-parcel; the 8A is per-account.
How is 8A different from 7/12?
+
7/12 = one survey/gat (owners, crops, loans, mote). 8A = every survey under that khata, totalled. Banks ask for both so a loan on one parcel cannot hide a charge on another parcel in the same account.
Can I download the 8A extract online for free?
+
Yes - the unsigned view on Mahabhulekh is free. The QR-signed copy for banks and courts is issued on Aaple Abhilekh or Digital Satbara at the small government fee. Our 8A tool links the same official path.
Do I need the khata number to get the 8A?
+
Khata number is the fastest key. Owner name works when you do not have it; survey number alone is the wrong search for an 8A - that search returns the 7/12.
Is the 8A the same as a property card?
+
No. Property cards cover urban CTS numbers inside municipal limits (PMC, PCMC, PMRDA). 8A covers agricultural khatas. Fringe plots sometimes need both.
Why does my bank want both 7/12 and 8A?
+
The 7/12 proves the parcel being mortgaged. The 8A proves the rest of the holding is not silently encumbered. A title opinion that skips 8A is incomplete.
