What's the difference between survey number and block number?

Survey number is the original parcel identifier in revenue records. Block number is assigned after land consolidation or re-surveying. Both may exist for the same land — your 7/12 shows both.

Where do I find the survey number?

It's printed in your 7/12 (VF-7) extract, which you can download free from AnyROR. It's also visible on Bhu Naksha (the government's field map).

Why do I need both Bhu Naksha and the 7/12?

The 7/12 is the legal record (ownership, rights, encumbrances). Bhu Naksha is the map (visual proof of extent and boundaries). Together they confirm you have the right land.

Can I find my land by location instead of survey number?

Yes — on the 1acre map (coming soon), you'll tap your location and see the survey number instantly. This saves you having to know it in advance.

Are AnyROR records free?

Yes. All government land records — 7/12, 8A, Bhu Naksha — are free to download from official portals. Avoid private agents charging fees.

Survey Number, Block Number & 7/12 in Gujarat

Overview

Gujarat uses survey numbers to identify land parcels in revenue records. After consolidation, parcels may also have a block number. Both are recorded in your 7/12 (VF-7) and 8A extracts — the foundational documents that prove your land's identity, rights, and encumbrances.

One plot, many names — what ‘survey number’ means here

1. Survey Number:
The unique identifier assigned to a land parcel by the revenue department. It appears in your 7/12 and is the primary way land is identified in revenue records.
2. Block Number:
After land consolidation or re-surveying, parcels may be assigned a block number. Both the survey number and block number may appear in your RoR.
3. 7/12 (VF-7) Extract:
The main record of rights document showing ownership, survey number, extent, boundaries, and rights. Also called Utara in local usage.
4. 8A Extract:
An auxiliary record that lists mutations (ownership transfers) of the land. Critical for verifying transfer history.
5. Bhu Naksha:
The government's geometric map showing field/plot boundaries. Synced with survey records to confirm location and extent.
