Gaon Namuna Saat (Village Form VII) in Maharashtra
Gaon Namuna Saat, or Village Form VII, is the foundational ownership record maintained at the
village level by the revenue department under the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code. It serves as
the source document for preparing the 7/12 Extract (Satbara Utara).
Details Recorded in Gaon Namuna Saat:
- Names of all registered landholders (Bhumipatrak)
- Survey/Gat numbers and area
- Nature of ownership (self-owned, tenancy, joint ownership)
- History of transfers, succession, or tenancy orders
Purpose and Importance:
Gaon Namuna Saat is the first step in verifying a landholder’s rights. A mismatch between it and
the 7/12 document may indicate incomplete mutation (Ferfar) or legal disputes.
Accessing the Record:
Traditionally stored at the Gram Panchayat or Talathi office, Gaon Namuna Saat is now also
available through the Mahabhulekh portal, enabling 7/12 utara online checks along with related
documents.
Legal Role:
In tenancy cases under the Maharashtra Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, Gaon Namuna Saat
is often used as primary evidence to determine lawful ownership before passing orders. Therefore,
keeping it updated is as important as maintaining your 7/12 Ferfar entry.
