What is Saatbar Utara?
Saatbar Utara (7/12) is Gujarat’s definitive rural land record, combining two village-forms:
- Form No. 7 (VII): Gives the owner/tenant names, their rights and shares, and plot details.
- Form No. 12 (XII): Details agricultural aspects such as crop types, cultivable land area, and irrigation sources.
This Gujarat land record captures every mutation—sale, gift deed, mortgage, lease—entered at your Taluka (tehsil) office, offering a chronological title history and a “snapshot” of your parcel’s legal status. Maintained by the Revenue Department of Gujarat and prepared and signed by the Mamlatdar, the 7/12 extract is essential proof of rural land ownership.
Which are the uses of Saatbar Utara?
- Proof of Ownership & Title Verification: The Gujarat 7/12 Utara is the definitive proof of khatedar (landholder) rights, capturing every mutation to establish a clear chronological title history.
- Legal and Land Transactions: Whether you’re buying, selling, or transferring farmland, a certified 7/12 extract is mandatory for drafting sale deeds and completing registration formalities.
- Agricultural Loans & Subsidies: Banks and government agencies require the latest 7/12 Utara to assess landholding size, crop history, and tenancy before sanctioning farm loans or subsidy schemes.
- Mutation & Inheritance Recording: 7/12 extract acts as the baseline when registering a Ferfar (mutation) entry—covering transfers by sale, gift, partition, or inheritance.
- Encumbrance & Liability Verification: Form 7 flags any mortgages, leases, or liens on the property, helping you confirm whether the land is free of encumbrances.
- Dispute Resolution: Courts and revenue tribunals rely on the 7/12 Utara’s survey details and ownership timeline to settle boundary disputes and succession cases.
- Crop Pattern Analysis & Land-Use Planning: Form 12’s information on crop types, sowing area, and irrigation sources guides agronomic planning, crop-insurance claims, and infrastructure projects like canals or roads.
- Enrollment in Government Welfare Programs: Precise 7/12 data is required for schemes such as crop insurance, drip-irrigation subsidies, and other state-run agricultural welfare programs.
