Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

Where do I find the survey number?

Accepted Answer

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).

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

Are AnyROR records free?

Accepted Answer

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