Question 1

What is a survey number in Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu?

Accepted Answer

A survey number is the unique identifier for a plot, used in the cadastral records. In some areas, the 7/12 record (plot number and rights holder) is used instead. Both identify your land in official records.

Question 2

What is a 7/12 record?

Accepted Answer

The 7/12 record shows the plot number (section 7 of the revenue record) and rights holder name (section 12). It's used in parts of the UT and provides key land ownership information.

Question 3

Can I access land records online?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The UT has e-Dhara, a digital platform where you can search land records by village and landholder name. It's free and provides quick access to property information.

Question 4

Where do I find the original survey map?

Accepted Answer

Visit your Taluk office. They have revenue maps (Naksha) showing all surveyed plots. The map helps verify boundaries and resolve disputes.
