Property Card in Maharashtra
The Property Card (Nagarpalika Shetra Property Record) is the urban equivalent of the 7/12
Extract for properties within municipal limits. Maintained by the City Survey Office, it records the
ownership history, plot boundaries, and encumbrances of a property.
Key Details in a Property Card:
- Name of the current owner
- Plot/CTS number and area
- Survey map reference
- Encumbrances such as mortgages or legal disputes
Importance:
The Property Card serves as prima facie evidence of ownership in urban areas and is necessary for
property transactions, loan applications, and title verification.
Difference from 7/12 Extract:
While 7/12 utara online applies to rural agricultural land, the Property Card is for municipal
zones. However, both serve the same legal purpose — proof of ownership.
Obtaining a Property Card:
It can be obtained from the City Survey Office or downloaded via the MahaBhulekh and e-
Mutation portals for certain cities.
For legal safety, buyers should compare the Property Card with municipal tax receipts, approved
building plans, and any mutation of 7/12 records if the land was recently converted from
agricultural to non-agricultural use.
