The 7/12 extract combines Village Form VII (occupants and rights) with Village Form XII (cropping), maintained under the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966. Key fields for a loan file: the survey / Gat number, the occupant and tenure class, the other-rights column where loans and charges are noted, and the mutation (ferfar) references.
A 7/12 is a revenue record, not a title deed — it raises a presumption about possession, nothing more. A Legal Scrutiny Report reads it together with the registered chain of title (Index II), encumbrance searches, and CERSAI / ROC checks where applicable.
