The 8A Extract Gujarat, also called VF-8A Khata, is a Khatavahi style account that lists every survey number a single landholder owns in one village. It must match what the 7/12 Utara shows for the same plot. This guide explains how to read it and where it can mislead.

What is the 8A Extract in Gujarat?

Definition

The 8A Extract is the Khatavahi or Khata account maintained for each landholder in a Gujarat village, listing all the survey or block numbers held in that person's name. It is governed by Section 213 of the Gujarat Land Revenue Code, 1879, and maintained at the Talati-cum-Mantri level under the Revenue Department.

Think of the VF-8A Khata as the seller's land passbook for that village. The 7/12 Utara is plot-specific, telling you who owns one survey number. The 8A is owner-specific, telling you everything that one person owns. If a seller is showing you a clean 7/12 for one plot, the 8A is what reveals whether they hold three more plots in the same village, whether one of those is mortgaged, and whether a recent sale ever made it into the records. Without it, your due diligence is half-blind.

Section 213 of the Gujarat Land Revenue Code gives the 8A its statutory weight. Every Ferfar entry, every mutation, every inheritance update flows from VF-6 into the 7/12 and from there into the Khata. So if a seller has just inherited land from a parent, the Khata will not reflect it until the mutation entry is closed. A stale 8A Extract Gujarat means a stale ownership picture, and a stale ownership picture is exactly what disputes are built on later.

State-specific note: The 8A must match what the 7/12 says for the same plot. Any difference between the two records is not a clerical mistake to ignore; it is a signal of an unresolved Ferfar or a hidden ownership claim.

How to Get 8 A Extract in Gujarat

The AnyROR Gujarat portal lets you pull any 8A Khata online by name or Khata number. For a copy that banks and registrars accept, you'll need the Digitally Signed RoR Gujarat option through the same portal or the village Talati. Keep the seller's full name, district, taluka, village, and Khata number ready.

Online method (recommended)

1
Open AnyROR rural records Visit [anyror
gujarat.gov.in](http://anyror.gujarat.gov.in) and click View Land Record – Rural. The Revenue Department has stated this is the only official site; everything else is a third-party rehash.
If the page loads in Gujarati, use the language toggle at the top right. Do not work off translated screenshots from other sites.
2
Pick VF-8A Khata Details From the dropdown, select VF-8A Khata Details (ગામ નમૂના નં
૮અ ની વિગતો). This pulls the Khatavahi for the location you choose next.
3
Enter location and Khata identifier Choose District, Taluka, and Village
Enter the Khata Number if you have it; if not, use the Know Khata By Owner Name option and search by the seller's name. Solve the captcha and click Get Record Detail.
4
Download a Digitally Signed RoR for legal use The screen view is for reference only
For loan files or any registration matter, go to the Digitally Signed RoR section, log in by mobile OTP, pay the small fee, and download the signed PDF.
A printout of the read-only view is not legally accepted. Always pull the digitally signed copy when money is involved.

Offline method (Sub-Registrar Office)

1
Go to the village Talati Reach the Talati-cum-Mantri of the village where the land sits
The 8A is maintained there and any correction starts at this counter.
2
Submit a written request Apply for a manual 8A extract with the Khata number or seller's name
Pay the prescribed counter fee and collect a receipt.
3
Cross-check entries on the spot
Confirm the seller's full name, every survey number listed, total area, and any pending Ferfar entries before leaving the office
If a survey number appears here but not on the seller's 7/12, do not move forward until that gap is explained in writing.
4
Collect signed copy and receipt Take the Mamlatdar-attested copy and the official receipt
Banks and Sub-Registrars often ask for both as proof of source.

What Does the 8A Extract Contain in Gujarat?

Khatedar (Owner) NameFull name of the landholder, including father or husband's name \Match Aadhaar, PAN, and the Title Deed
Village, Taluka, DistrictRevenue location of the holding \The 8A is village-specific, so a holding in another village needs a separate 8A
Survey or Block NumbersAll plots held by this person in this village \Tally with the 7/12 of each individual plot
Area per survey numberHectares-ares-square metres for each plot \Cross-verify with physical measurement and sale agreement
Land revenue assessedAmount of revenue payable for each holding \Helps confirm the land is genuine farm land, not waste or government land

Common Issues With the 8A Extract in Gujarat

A complete VF-8A Khata sheet carries the following columns, each of which has to be read against the matching 7/12 Utara of every plot listed.

8A and 7/12 do not match
A survey number listed on the seller's 7/12 is missing from the 8A, or the area in the 8A is different. This usually means the Ferfar is incomplete or the records are out of sync.
Fix: Stop the deal. Push the seller to update the entry at the Talati office before any token is paid.
Multiple Khatedars on one Khata
The 8A shows joint Khatedars (siblings, heirs, joint family) but the seller is acting alone. Co-owners can later challenge the sale.
Fix: Insist on every Khatedar's signed consent, ID copy, and presence at the Sub-Registrar Office at registration.
Seller has hidden plots in same village
The 8A reveals plots that the seller never disclosed. They may be mortgaged or under separate dispute, but they affect the seller's credit and litigation profile.
Fix: Pull the 7/12 of every survey number listed on the 8A. Walk away if any of them are encumbered or under court order.
Forged 8A printout
A doctored PDF that looks like an AnyROR Khata extract but the survey numbers, names, or areas have been edited.
Fix: Run the same Khata number on the official portal in front of the seller. Any difference between their copy and the live record means fraud.
Pending mutation after inheritance
The seller inherited land but the parent's name still sits on the 8A because the VF-6 Ferfar was never closed.
Fix: Make completion of the mutation a written condition before paying any advance.
Cess or revenue arrears flagged
The Khata shows pending land revenue, education cess, or other dues. These can become a buyer's headache after the sale.
Fix: Demand a clearance certificate from the Talati, or insist that arrears be cleared from the seller's side before registration.

Why the 8A Extract Matters for Land Buyers in Gujarat

The 8A is what tells you whether the seller has been honest about everything they own in that village.

📋
Confirms the seller's full village landholding The 8A Extract Gujarat is the only single sheet that captures every survey number a person holds in one village
If you only check the 7/12 of one plot, you never see the bigger picture.
⚠
Cross-check against 7/12 catches hidden mismatches The most common Gujarat land fraud is a seller showing a clean 7/12 for one plot while quietly suppressing the rest of the Khata
A 7/12 plus 8A pair makes that game much harder to play.
🏦
Bank and farm loan eligibility Public and private banks in Gujarat ask for the digitally signed 7/12 and the matching 8A Khata before sanctioning farm loans, mortgage loans, or pre-NA loans
A mismatch is a near-certain rejection.
🔍
Gujarat-specific: Section 213 statutory weight Under Section 213 of the Gujarat Land Revenue Code, the Khata is the formal record of landholder accounts
So an entry on the 8A is not a courtesy listing; it is a statutory fact you can rely on, or use against the seller in court if it later turns out to be wrong.
Red flag: The seller readily shares the 7/12 but refuses to pull the 8A on the AnyROR portal in front of you, or tells you "the Talati hasn't updated it yet" while pushing for quick registration.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I check 8A Khata online in Gujarat?
Visit [anyror.gujarat.gov.in](http://anyror.gujarat.gov.in) , open View Land Record Rural, choose VF-8A Khata Details, select district, taluka, village, enter Khata number or owner name, solve captcha, and view it.
What is the difference between 7/12 and 8A?
The 7/12 is plot-specific, listing all owners of one survey number. The 8A is owner-specific, listing every survey number held by that person in one village.
Is the 8A Extract on AnyROR free?
Yes. Viewing the VF-8A Khata online on AnyROR is free for everyone. A small fee applies only if you need a Digitally Signed RoR through iORA Gujarat.
Is a digitally signed 8A valid for bank loans?
Yes. Banks accept the Digitally Signed RoR of the VF-8A Khata for farm loans, mortgage loans, and registration matters across Gujarat. The unsigned screen view is reference only.
Why must the 8A match the 7/12?
Both records are linked through the Khata number and Ferfar entries. A mismatch usually means an incomplete mutation, a hidden plot, or a tampered document, all of which delay or void deals.
Who issues the 8A Extract in Gujarat?
The Revenue Department of Gujarat issues it through the Talati-cum-Mantri at the village level. Online copies come from AnyROR; legally signed PDFs come from iORA Gujarat.
How does the 8A Khata get updated in Gujarat?
A VF-6 Ferfar entry is filed for any sale, gift, or inheritance. Once accepted, it updates the 7/12 of the plot, and the 8A Khata reflects the new total holding automatically.
How to spot a fake 8A Extract in Gujarat?
Pull the same Khata number live on [anyror.gujarat.gov.in](http://anyror.gujarat.gov.in) . Compare names, survey numbers, areas, and dues. Any difference from the seller's printed copy means the document is forged.
