Coverage
Mahabhulekh shows 7/12, 8A and property cards by survey/gat number or name in Marathi, and digitally signed copies come from the Satbara portal. DILRMP-MIS shows 100% of villages computerised; 5,560 villages are city-surveyed while 119 Nagar Panchayats and 241 Nagar Parishads are not (2024). IGR offers free Index II search from 1985 and publishes an official title-verification checklist.
- 7/12 (Satbara): The village form recording ownership and crops for a survey or gat number.
- 8A: The khata (rights) extract.
- Property Card: The city-survey record keyed by CTS number, replacing the 7/12 once city survey is declared.
- K-Prat: A record tab on Mahabhulekh.
- Index II: The registration index of a document, searchable free from 1985.
The record hierarchy runs District (जिल्हा) > Taluka (तालुका) > Village (गाव) > Survey / Gat number, and a plot is identified by its survey number or gat number or CTS number number. /sources?state=27 returns all of this, with the portals that hold the records.

Questions people ask
What does a Maharashtra land record API return?
For a plot it returns area, land class, recorded holders with relation and share, mutations, deeds, charges, tax, court cases and notices where loaded, plus the village government rate. Maharashtra uses 7/12 (Satbara) and 8A; /sources?state=27 describes the state's record names.
Is this a certified copy of the Maharashtra record?
No. It is built from public government records on a best-effort basis. It is not a certified copy and not proof of title. Verify with the issuing office before a transaction.
How do I find the LGD code of a Maharashtra village?
Call /search?q= with the village name. Each village result has its LGD code, tehsil, district and pincode, and /village/{lgd} returns the full record.
