The 8A Extract: One Holder, Whole Holding

If the 7/12 is a plot's biography, the 8A is the holder's ledger: village form 8A gathers everything one khate holds in a village, every survey number, with areas and assessment, on a single extract. For families it answers 'what do we actually have here'; for buyers it answers something sharper, whether the plot being sold is the seller's only card or one card from a hand they're not showing.

What the 8A extract shows

Definition

The 8A is the khate-wise extract from village form 8A: the account of a holder in a revenue village, listing every survey and Gat number held under that khate with areas and assessment. Mahabhulekh serves it alongside the 7/12, and the two are designed to be read together, the account naming the plots, each plot's extract telling its own story.

Its first use is completeness. Families sorting an estate pull the 8A to see the whole holding at once instead of chasing plot rumours; partition planning, succession filings and simple family clarity all start from the account's list rather than from memory's fragments.

Its second use is the buyer's audit. A seller's 8A shows whether the offered plot stands alone or belongs to a larger holding, how the family's land is distributed, and occasionally the co-held khates that mean more signatures than the negotiation mentioned. Ten minutes with the account has reshaped many conversations.

Its limit is the village boundary. Khates are per-village, so a family with land across three villages has three 8As, and 'everything we own' requires knowing where to look. The name-search route recovers the villages; the 8A then closes each one.

State-specific note: The 8A shows the account as the record stands; unfiled successions and unregistered family arrangements leave it stale exactly as they do the 7/12. An 8A naming the deceased is the signal to file the heirship Ferfar, not a curiosity.

Pulling and reading the 8A

Account first, plots second.

The method

Open Mahabhulekh's 8A option

Alongside the 7/12 selection for the village.

Division, district, taluka, village as usual.

Search by khate or name

The account number if known; the holder's name otherwise.

Name variants apply as in any register search.

Read the plot list

Every survey/Gat number, with areas and assessment.

Note co-held entries and shares.

Pull each 7/12 that matters

The account names them; the extracts characterise them.

Margins and classes live plot-side.

8A questions the extract answers

Five uses, one document.

Situation	The 8A's answer	What follows
Estate clarity	Everything the khate holds here	Succession or partition planning
Buyer's audit	The seller's full local position	Sharper negotiation, right signatures
Partition prep	Plots and areas to divide	The measured, recorded split
Loan files	The holding behind the borrower	Bank verification made easy
Cross-checks	Account versus plot extracts	Gaps become questions early

Good sign: An 8A whose plot list matches the family's understanding, shares explicit, no forgotten co-holders, and each listed 7/12 telling a consistent story.

Common 8A issues, and the fix

8A work goes wrong four ways.

The account never pulled

Deals run plot-by-plot with the holding unseen.

Fix: pull the seller's 8A as routine; the wide view is one click beside the deep one.

Stale succession

The khate naming a holder long gone.

Fix: file the heirship Ferfar; every plot under the account inherits the fix.

Co-held khates missed

Shares that mean more consenting signatures.

Fix: read the account's shares and gather every holder before drafting.

Village tunnel vision

One village's 8A mistaken for the whole estate.

Fix: trace the other villages by name search; accounts don't cross boundaries.

Where the 8A fits in diligence

Think of it as the wide-angle lens in a three-lens kit: the 8A for the holder's whole local position, the 7/12 for each plot's story, the map for each plot's shape.

📋

Photographed through all three, few surprises

Deals photographed through all three rarely surprise anyone afterwards.

🔍

An honest seller’s opening move

It also makes an honest seller's opening move: leading with your own 8A and extracts signals a clean file faster than any assurance.

Red flag: A seller happy to show one plot's papers but reluctant about their 8A may have co-holders, divisions or a wider position they'd rather narrate than document. The account is public; the reluctance is the information.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 8A extract?

The khate account: village form 8A listing every survey number a holder has in that village, with areas and assessment.

How is it different from the 7/12?

The 7/12 describes one plot in depth; the 8A lists one holder's plots in breadth. Diligence reads both.

Where do I get it?

On Mahabhulekh beside the 7/12 option, by khate number or holder's name for the village.

Does it cover all my family's land?

Per village only. Holdings in other villages sit in those villages' accounts; trace them separately.

How do buyers use it?

To audit the seller's full local position: co-held khates, shares and the plots around the one on offer.

The 8A names my late father?

File the succession Ferfar with heirship papers; the account and its plots update together.
