Khasra Map (Land Parcel Map) in Maharashtra
The Khasra Map, also called Nakasha or Village Map, is an official survey document maintained
by the revenue department under the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code. It visually represents the
boundaries, survey numbers, and layout of agricultural land in a village.
Contents of a Khasra Map:
- Survey/Gat numbers of all land parcels
- Defined boundaries for each plot
- Adjoining plots and road access
- Irrigation channels, water bodies, and landmarks
Importance:
The Khasra Map is essential in cases of boundary disputes, partition of property, or verification of
encroachments. It is often produced in court as supporting evidence alongside the 7/12 Extract
(Satbara Utara) and mutation of 7/12 records.
Usage in Transactions:
Before buying or selling agricultural land, buyers should cross-check the Khasra Map with the
7/12 utara online to ensure that the actual land matches the records.
Obtaining the Map:
Available at the Talathi office or through the revenue department’s Mahabhulekh portal (in certain
districts).
Legal experts recommend keeping an updated Khasra Map along with the 7/12 document, Ferfar
extract, and 8A extract for complete ownership clarity.
