The free Satbara on Mahabhulekh is strictly for information. For bank crop loans, registration of sale deeds, or civil court evidence, you MUST obtain a Digitally Signed 7/12 Extract bearing an official electronic signature and verification QR code from digitalsatbara.mahabhumi.gov.in.
💡 The 7/12 Extract (Satbara Utara) is an essential agricultural and rural land document in Maharashtra and Gujarat. It is a compilation of two village land forms: Form 7 (Record of Rights, detailing landowner names, survey number, hissa sub-number, total area, and legal liabilities/loans) and Form 12 (Register of Crops, detailing seasonal crops grown, fallow land, irrigation type, and tree count). It serves as conclusive evidence of possession, cultivation, and agricultural status.

A 7/12 extract is a record of rights maintained for revenue purposes and serves as strong presumptive evidence of possession and title. However, as held by the Supreme Court, it does not supersede a registered title deed in the event of a civil ownership dispute.
Bhogvatdar Class 1 (Occupant Class 1) represents freehold land with unrestricted transfer rights. Bhogvatdar Class 2 (Occupant Class 2) represents land granted by the government (e.g., inam, watan, tribal land, or tenant land under Ceiling Act) which CANNOT be sold or converted without prior permission from the District Collector.
Under Section 63 of the Maharashtra Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, non-agriculturists cannot buy agricultural land without prior permission from the Collector, unless the land is situated within a designated municipal planning zone or converted to Non-Agricultural (NA) use.
Crop information (Pik Pahani) is recorded twice every year: once during the Kharif season (typically August–October) and once during the Rabi season (December–February) by the farmer via the e-Pik Pahani mobile app or the village Talathi.
