Ferfar Online Maharashtra — Mutation Register, e-Ferfar & 7/12 Updates
Ferfar (फेरफार) is the mutation register — the running diary of every ownership change on a survey number. The 7/12 only updates after a Ferfar is sanctioned. If you are searching “ferfar online”, “ferfar mutation”, “e ferfar” or “ferfar number”, this is the document, the portal, and the traps.
1. What is Ferfar (फेरफार)?
Every sale, gift, partition, inheritance, NA conversion, mortgage entry or court order becomes a Ferfar serial on that survey. The talathi records it; the tahsildar sanctions it; only then does the next 7/12 show the new owner. A 7/12 that looks clean with a Ferfar still “in motion” means the extract has not caught up — that is the most common reason a Pune sale or crop loan stalls. Read the register with the Ferfar tool and confirm the current extract on the 7/12 reader.
2. Ferfar vs 7/12 vs 8A
7/12 is the current state. Ferfar is the chain that produced it. 8A is the owner’s full village holding. Buyers and lenders who read only the 7/12 miss: an inheritance that never closed, an NA conversion still pending, a court stay recorded only as a mutation remark, a name correction that has not landed. Title opinions that skip Ferfar are incomplete.
3. How to check Ferfar online (e-Ferfar)
Mahabhulekh and Aaple Abhilekh both expose the mutation register for the same district → taluka → village → survey path as the 7/12. Look for फेरफार / mutation / 6-D. Aaple Abhilekh accepts online mutation filing (e-Ferfar) in most talukas — attach the registered deed, ID and the application; the serial number that returns is your ferfar number. Track that serial until status reads sanctioned. Paper filing at the talathi office is still valid where e-Ferfar is not live.
4. How to read a Ferfar entry
Serial number (the ferfar number people search). Filing date. Mutation type: sale, gift, partition, inheritance, NA order, court order, mortgage. Parties. One-line description. Status: filed / in motion / sanctioned / rejected. A sanctioned sale Ferfar should match the registered deed names exactly. A “mutation in motion” after 30 days is a follow-up at the talathi; at 60 days escalate to the tahsildar / SDO.
5. How long a Ferfar takes — and what to do when it sticks
Standard: 30 days at the talathi, then tahsildar, then SDO, then collector for disputes. Online filing digitises faster than paper but does not skip scrutiny. Stuck 60+ days: written query at the talathi, then District Registrar / SDO. Never close a purchase on an unsanctioned Ferfar — the 7/12 will still show the seller, and the bank will not disburse.
6. Ferfar after registration — the buyer’s checklist
Morning after the SRO: confirm the deed is inwarded (Index II / SRO status). File or confirm the Ferfar. Wait for sanctioned. Pull a fresh 7/12. Pull 8A. Only then is title updated for construction permission, NA, and resale. Our SRO status tool and Ferfar tool cover the two halves of that wait.
Real questions, real answers.
What is Ferfar in Maharashtra land records?
+
Ferfar (फेरफार) is the mutation register. Each ownership change on a survey number is a serial entry. The 7/12 updates only after that entry is sanctioned.
How do I check ferfar online in Maharashtra?
+
On Mahabhulekh or Aaple Abhilekh, same village path as the 7/12, open the mutation / फेरफार register. e-Ferfar filing is on Aaple Abhilekh in most talukas.
What is a ferfar number?
+
The serial number of the mutation entry for that survey. Quote it at the talathi when you follow up. It is not the same as the IGR document number or the SRO receipt.
How long does a Ferfar take to sanction?
+
About 30 days at the talathi if documents are clean; 60+ days if it escalates. A pending Ferfar means the 7/12 still shows the old owner.
Can I buy on a 7/12 if Ferfar is pending?
+
You can sign; you should not. Banks, NA files and building permission all want the sanctioned mutation and a fresh 7/12. Wait, or price the risk in writing with your advocate.
What is e-Ferfar?
+
Online mutation filing on Aaple Abhilekh — same legal effect as paper, faster digitisation, still subject to talathi / tahsildar sanction.
