How to Check Mutation Ferfar in Maharashtra — Complete Guide 2026

Mutation Ferfar Maharashtra is the revenue entry that updates the 7/12 with a new owner's name after sale, inheritance, gift, or partition. The Pherfar entry 7/12 carries must show "final", never "pending", before any land deal closes. This guide covers checks, fixes, and Talathi process.

What is Mutation Ferfar in Maharashtra?

Definition

Mutation Ferfar Maharashtra, called "Pherfar" or "फेरफार" in Marathi, is the official entry in the village Mutation Register that records every change in land ownership and updates the 7/12 extract. It is governed by the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code 1966 and maintained at the Talathi office.

A registered sale deed transfers rights at the Sub-Registrar. The revenue department does not know about that deed until a Ferfar is filed. The Talathi opens a numbered entry, issues a public notice on Aapli Chawadi for objections, and forwards it through the Circle Officer for Tahsildar approval. Until that approval comes through, the seller's name continues to sit on the 7/12 even though the land has been legally sold.

This gap is exactly where buyers lose money. A clean sale deed with a stalled Ferfar is functionally useless for crop loans, government schemes, and any future resale. Banks will not finance a plot whose 7/12 still shows the previous owner. Even insurance and subsidy claims trace back to the name on the Mutation Register, not the deed.

State-specific note: In Maharashtra, the Ferfar must show status "Final" (अंतिम) on the Talathi's Mutation Register before any handover. A "Pending" or objection-flagged Pherfar entry means an unresolved claim, and the deal should pause.

How to Check Mutation Ferfar in Maharashtra: Step-by-Step

You can check the latest Ferfar number and status free on the Mahabhulekh portal. Keep the district, taluka, village name, and survey or gat number ready.

Online method (recommended)

Open the Mahabhulekh portal Go to [bhulekh

mahabhumi.gov.in](http://bhulekh.mahabhumi.gov.in) . Pick your administrative division: Konkan, Nashik, Pune, Aurangabad, Amravati, or Nagpur.

Select location and document Choose district, taluka, village

Click "7/12". The latest mutation number always appears at the bottom of the 7/12 under "इतर हक्क" (Other Rights).

Cross-check on Aapli Chawadi notice Open [echawadicitizen

mahabhumi.gov.in](http://echawadicitizen.mahabhumi.gov.in) . Pick the same village. Search by Ferfar number. The notice shows who filed it, the date, the type of mutation, and whether the objection window is open or closed.

If the Ferfar number on Aapli Chawadi has not yet rolled into the 7/12, the entry is still pending. Wait for finalisation.

Download a digitally signed copy For a copy banks accept, visit [digitalsatbara

mahabhumi.gov.in](http://digitalsatbara.mahabhumi.gov.in) . Pay ₹15. The PDF arrives with a QR code and the Tahsildar's digital signature. ###

A 7/12 printout from any private site is not the same. Banks reject it.

Offline method (Sub-Registrar Office)

Visit the village Talathi office Carry the registered sale deed, latest 7/12 extract, 8A extract, ID proof, and seller's PAN copy

The Talathi has jurisdiction over your village only.

File the mutation application Submit a written application requesting Ferfar entry under your name

The Talathi opens an entry in the Mutation Register and assigns a Ferfar number.

Wait through the objection window A public notice is published on Aapli Chawadi and the village notice board

Co-sharers, heirs, or anyone with a claim has 15 days to object.

Collect the certified Ferfar If no objection, the Circle Officer recommends approval and the Tahsildar finalises

The 7/12 updates to your name. The entire cycle runs 15 to 30 days when paperwork is clean.

Track the application on [aaplesarkar.mahaonline.gov.in](http://aaplesarkar.mahaonline.gov.in) using the application ID.

What Does a Mutation Ferfar Contain in Maharashtra?

Every Ferfar entry follows the same structure on the Mutation Register.

Field	What it means	What to check
Mutation Number	Unique sequential ID for the entry	Must appear on the 7/12 under Other Rights
Type of Mutation	Sale, inheritance, gift, partition, mortgage	Should match the underlying registered document
Date of Mutation	Date of Talathi entry, not deed registration	Recent deeds with no Ferfar are red flags
Names involved	Outgoing owner, incoming owner	Tally with the sale deed and Aadhaar
Survey or Gat number	The land parcel affected	Match with sale deed schedule and Bhunaksha map
Status (शेरा)	Final, pending, or under objection	Must read (Final) before paying balance
Reference document	Sale deed number and SRO	Cross-verify on IGR Maharashtra

Good sign: A clean Ferfar shows status "Final", a recent date, the new buyer's name in the 7/12, the deed reference, and a clear objection-closed line on Aapli Chawadi.

Common Issues With Mutation Ferfar in Maharashtra

Every Ferfar entry follows the same structure on the Mutation Register.

Mutation pending after registered sale

Sale is registered but the seller never filed a Ferfar. The 7/12 still shows the old owner. Banks reject loans on this state.

Fix: Buyer files the mutation at the Talathi with the registered deed and ID. Push for Tahsildar approval within the statutory window.

Under-objection Ferfar

Aapli Chawadi shows an objection filed by an heir or co-sharer. The Tahsildar will not finalise until the dispute is resolved.

Fix: Walk away. Resolution may take years through the SDO appeal route.

Inheritance Ferfar without all heirs

Mutation done in one heir's name only after the original owner's death. Other Class I heirs have not signed off.

Fix: Demand a family tree certificate, succession certificate, and consent from every heir before paying any token.

Mismatch between 7/12 and Ferfar

Ferfar shows owner change but the 7/12 has not been updated, or vice versa. The records are out of sync.

Fix: File a 7/12 correction (Durusti) request on [pdeigr.maharashtra.gov.in](http://pdeigr.maharashtra.gov.in) citing the gap.

Old handwritten Ferfar not digitised

Pre-digitisation entries from before the 2013 Mahabhulekh rollout exist only in the Talathi's physical register.

Fix: Visit the Talathi, request a certified copy of the old Mutation Register page, and apply for digitisation.

Encumbrance not reflected

A bank loan, court attachment, or lien on the plot has not been entered as a Ferfar. The 7/12 looks clean but is not.

Fix: Pull the encumbrance certificate and IGR Index 2 separately. Match every charge against the Ferfar list.

Why Mutation Ferfar Matters for Land Buyers in Maharashtra

The deed gives you rights. The Ferfar gives you the record.

📋

Recognition by the revenue system Until the Ferfar is final, the government does not recognise you as the owner for any revenue purpose: tax bills, water permits, electricity name change, crop loans

Your name only flows to these systems through the 7/12, which only updates after the Talathi approves the entry.

⚠

Pending mutation objection risk A Ferfar showing "pending" or "objection raised" is not a paperwork delay

It signals a live claim from heirs, co-sharers, or earlier buyers. Closing the deal in this state means inheriting the dispute.

🏦

Bank loan eligibility Every Maharashtra bank reads the 7/12 first and the deed second

No bank sanctions a home loan or agri-loan unless the latest 7/12 carries the borrower's name through a final Ferfar entry.

🔍

Maharashtra-specific: the Aapli Chawadi check Maharashtra is the only state with a public mutation notice board this granular

Skipping the Aapli Chawadi search is how buyers miss objections that surface only after the deal closes.

Red flag: A seller who refuses to apply for the Ferfar before registration, blocks the survey number from being shared, or insists "we will do mutation later" is hiding an unresolved claim. Walk away.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Mutation Ferfar Maharashtra and why does it matter?

Mutation Ferfar Maharashtra is the revenue department entry that updates the 7/12 extract with the new owner's name after sale, inheritance, gift, or partition. Without a final Ferfar, the buyer's name does not appear in any government land record.

How do I check Ferfar status online for free in Maharashtra?

Visit [bhulekh.mahabhumi.gov.in](http://bhulekh.mahabhumi.gov.in) , pick your division, district, taluka, village, and view the 7/12. The latest Ferfar number sits under Other Rights. Cross-check the same number on [echawadicitizen.mahabhumi.gov.in](http://echawadicitizen.mahabhumi.gov.in) for objection status.

Is mutation mandatory after buying property in Maharashtra?

Yes. Without mutation, the buyer's name does not appear on the 7/12 or 8A extract. Banks will not sanction loans, government schemes will deny benefits, and resale becomes practically impossible until the Ferfar is final.

How long does Ferfar mutation take after registration?

A clean Ferfar runs 15 to 30 days when documents match and no objection is filed. The Talathi opens the entry, issues a 15-day Aapli Chawadi notice, and forwards it through the Circle Officer to the Tahsildar approval stage.

What documents are required for Ferfar mutation in Maharashtra?

Registered sale deed or inheritance papers, latest 7/12 and 8A extracts, ID proof, PAN, and property tax receipts. For inheritance Ferfar, add the death certificate, family tree, and succession certificate where applicable.

Can I get a digitally signed e-Ferfar online?

Yes. The digitally signed e-Ferfar is available on [digitalsatbara.mahabhumi.gov.in](http://digitalsatbara.mahabhumi.gov.in) for ₹15. The PDF carries a QR code and the Tahsildar's digital signature, and is accepted by banks, courts, and revenue offices.

What happens if the mutation is pending in 7/12?

A pending Ferfar means the seller's name still sits on the 7/12. You cannot get a loan, register crops, claim subsidy, or sell ahead. Resolve the entry to "Final" status with Tahsildar approval before paying the balance.

What is the difference between 7/12 extract and Ferfar?

The 7/12 shows the current owner, area, and crop. The Ferfar is the entry that explains how that name got there. Read both: the Ferfar tells the story of every transfer; the 7/12 shows where the story stands today.
