What is the process for transferring land ownership in Maharashtra

The process for transferring land ownership in Maharashtra depends on the type and location of the land and the mode of transfer. Generally, the following steps are involved³⁴⁵:

- Obtain the 7/12 and 8A extracts of the land from Mahabhulekh or the Tehsildar's office to verify the legal status and ownership of the land

- Prepare a deed of transfer such as sale deed, gift deed, relinquishment deed, etc. depending on the nature of transfer and get it stamped and registered at the Sub Registrar's office

- Pay the stamp duty and registration fees as applicable according to the market value and location of the land

- Apply for mutation of the land in your name at the revenue office with the original deed, death certificate of previous owner (if applicable), identity proof, and passbook of land

- Obtain a new 7/12 and 8A extract with your name as the owner after mutation is done

I hope this helps. Do you have any other questions?
