Mahabhulekh 7/12 Online - Check & Download Satbara (2026)

The state consolidated its land-records services onto the mahabhumi.gov.in platform. The old mahabhulekh.maharashtra.gov.in and aapleabhilekh.maharashtra.gov.in addresses no longer resolve, and any third-party site still quoting them is a mirror, not the source. The live official portals today: bhulekh.mahabhumi.gov.in is Mahabhulekh itself - the free 7/12 and 8A view for every district, taluka and village, no login and no fee. aapleabhilekh.mahabhumi.gov.in is Aaple Abhilekh - mutation (ferfar) application and tracking, and certified extracts. digitalsatbara.mahabhumi.gov.in is the Digital Satbara (DSLR) service - the digitally signed, QR-verifiable copies that banks, courts and NA files actually accept. All three are government services; anyone charging you for the free view is reselling a public record.

On bhulekh.mahabhumi.gov.in the flow is: select your division, then district, then taluka, then village; the search screen then takes either the survey or gat number, or the owner's name. Enter what you have - in most of western Maharashtra parcels are known by gat number, in Vidarbha and some other regions by survey number; they are the same identifier under different local names - and the extract renders on screen instantly. No captcha dance beyond the usual login-free check, no documents to upload, no fee. What you are looking at is a view of the current record: it tells you who the revenue department recognises as owner, what the land is classified as, and everything noted against the parcel.

Left to right, the fields that matter: the survey/gat number and any subdivision (the exact sub-plot you are buying must exist as its own entry - a share in someone else's gat is not a sold plot); the land class - jirayat (dry crop), bagayat (irrigated/garden) or potkharab (uncultivable) - which drives what you can do with it and what NA will cost; the area, in hectares-ares or gunthas depending on screen; the owner column with names and shares; the cultivation and crops entries by season; and the mote / encumbrance column, where mortgages, court injunctions and tenancy or sale restrictions are recorded. A zero or blank mote means no encumbrance is recorded on that copy - not that none exists, which is why a lawyer still pulls the EC for anything serious.

A printout of the free view is a reading aid. When a bank sanctions a loan against the parcel, a court accepts the record, or an NA or building-permit file attaches the document, the copy must carry a digital signature and QR code that verifies against the revenue database - that comes from Digital Satbara (digitalsatbara.mahabhumi.gov.in) or Aaple Abhilekh, with Aadhaar-OTP login and a small government fee per document. If a transaction is being financed or litigated, order the QR-signed 7/12 and the matching 8A holding statement together; our digital satbara guide covers that route end to end.

Three causes cover almost every failed search. Village renamed or split - try the parent village name and check spelling against the taluka list, since the portal matches the official record, not local usage. Ownership transferred but mutation not yet sanctioned - the sale deed is registered, but until the ferfar entry is approved the 7/12 still shows the seller; that mismatch is exactly what must be resolved before money changes hands, and the application and tracking for it sit on Aaple Abhilekh. Recent subdivision - the new sub-plot exists on paper but not yet as its own record; ask the talathi how the parent gat maps to it, and cross-check the property against the village map using our survey-number and village-map guide.

Records change under you: a mutation gets sanctioned, a loan gets noted, a share gets transferred. If you are mid-purchase, mid-loan or simply holding land you do not live near, snapshot the parcel and compare over time - our seven-twelve land-watch tool shows the snapshot-and-diff workflow (currently on clearly-flagged demo records until the official Mahabhumi API approval lands), and the same habit manually - screenshot today's extract, date it, re-pull before signing anything - catches the change before your lawyer does.
