Aapli Chawadi: Ferfar Notice Online Kasa Pahaycha (2026)

Aapli Chawadi (आपली चावडी) is Maharashtra’s online village notice board: every proposed ferfar (mutation) must be published on it before an officer can certify it, and anyone affected gets 15 days to object. To see a ferfar notice online, open bhulekh.mahabhumi.gov.in and use its Aapli Chawadi link — which now opens digitalsatbara.mahabhumi.gov.in/aaplichawdi — choose the notice type, district, taluka and village, and press आपली चावडी पहा. Viewing is free, with no login. This guide goes past the basics: how to decode every field on a notice, what to do when your name shows up in someone else’s mutation, and exactly how a harkat (हरकत — objection) is filed and heard.

Aapli Chawadi mhanje kay: the law behind the notice board

The chawadi is the physical village office-cum-notice board. Under Section 150 of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966, when the Talathi enters a reported change of rights in the register of mutations (Village Form VI), he must post a complete copy of the entry at the chawadi — and give written notice to every person who appears interested in the mutation. Only after that public notice, and after any objections are decided, can the entry be certified and flow to the 7/12 utara.

Aapli Chawadi — also written Aaple Chawadi, and called e-Chawadi (ई-चावडी) in Revenue Department project language — simply moved that notice board online, for all 36 districts across the six revenue divisions. The point is practical: an heir working in Pune, or an NRI, can watch notices on ancestral land in Beed without anyone tipping them off. One naming caution: some Gram Panchayat portals use “e-chawadi” for village tax and property registers; this article is about the Revenue Department’s mutation notice board.

Where the portal actually lives in 2026

Older guides — and plenty of lookalike “bhulekh” sites — still send readers to echawadicitizen.mahabhumi.gov.in. That address responds, but as of August 2026 it serves the ई-शेतसारा (e-Shetsara) citizen portal for land-revenue payments, not the notice board. The working route is:

1. Open bhulekh.mahabhumi.gov.in — the official Mahabhumi land-records portal
2. Click आपली चावडी (Aapli Chawadi) — it opens the notice board hosted at digitalsatbara.mahabhumi.gov.in/aaplichawdi
3. Bookmark that page, not the old citizen-portal address

The same Digital Satbara portal also hosts the mutation-status checker (search by mutation number or by registered-document number) and the paid, digitally signed copies of the 7/12, 8A and ferfar.

Notice types you can view

Aapli Chawadi is not just land mutations. The type selector lists six kinds of notices, all free to view:

For land deals, the first two matter most; a मोजणी notice on a neighbouring plot is also worth opening, since boundary measurements can touch your holding.

Check a ferfar notice: step by step

1. Open the Aapli Chawadi page via bhulekh.mahabhumi.gov.in
2. Select सातबारा (फेरफार) — or मालमत्ता पत्रक (फेरफार) for a property-card mutation
3. Choose your district (जिल्हा), taluka (तालुका) and village (गाव) from the dropdowns
4. Enter the captcha and press आपली चावडी पहा (view your chawadi)
5. The village’s pending notices load as a list — scan the survey/gat column for your plot
6. Press पहा (view) on the row to open the complete entry

There is no plot-level or name-level search — the board is village-wise by design, exactly like the paper board it replaced. If your village is missing from the dropdown, re-select the taluka first; if it still doesn’t appear, ask the Talathi which revenue village your gat number sits under. For what each status word (प्रलंबित, मंजूर, नामंजूर) means and how to chase a stuck entry, see the companion guide on checking ferfar status online.

Decoding the notice, field by field

A ferfar notice is a condensed legal document. Read it in this order:

• फेरफार क्रमांक (ferfar number) — the mutation’s unique serial number in the village. Quote it in every follow-up, objection or application; it is the entry’s identity for life, and the number that later appears in the mutation column of the 7/12
• फेरफाराचा प्रकार (type) — the nature of the change. The common ones: खरेदी (kharedi) — a sale via registered kharedi khat; वारस (varas) — heirship after a death, filed as varas nond; बोजा (boja) — a loan charge being added, or कमी करणे when it is removed; हक्कसोड — a release of rights; वाटप — partition
• हक्क सोडणारे / हक्क धारण करणारे (outgoing / incoming holders) — the names losing and gaining rights, spelled exactly as they will land on the 7/12. Verify spellings character by character now; a mistake caught at notice stage is a correction, the same mistake after certification is a formal case
• आधार दस्त (basis document) — the deed number and Sub-Registrar office, court order, heirship certificate or bank letter the entry rests on. For a sale, this should match the registered deed’s Index 2
• हरकत नोंदविण्याची शेवटची तारीख (last date for objection) — the deadline that drives everything below. It must be at least 15 days from publication

A notice that names your survey number with a type you don’t recognise — a बोजा you never took, a खरेदी you never signed — is the earliest fraud alarm the system offers. That is the entire value of reading notices while they are still pending.

Your name in someone else’s mutation

Finding your name inside a stranger’s — or a relative’s — ferfar notice is common, and usually by design: the Talathi must notify everyone plausibly interested. You may be listed because you co-hold the same survey number, you are a boundary neighbour, you are a legal heir of the deceased in a varas entry, or a boja names you as borrower or guarantor. Three situations deserve action within the window:

• An heirship entry that omits you — or another heir — from a varas nond: object, because certification will put the recorded heirs on the 7/12 and leave you to litigate your way back on
• A sale of land you co-hold where your share or consent is misstated
• Any entry based on a document you never executed — object immediately and put the forgery allegation in writing

If the entry is routine and genuinely doesn’t touch your rights, no response is needed; silence only concedes what the notice actually says.

Harkat: filing an objection within 15 days

The objection procedure comes from Section 150 of the Code and the Maharashtra Land Revenue Record of Rights and Registers (Preparation and Maintenance) Rules, 1971 — and none of it happens on the portal. Aapli Chawadi is view-only; the harkat (हरकत) itself is lodged offline:

1. Act inside the window. You get 15 days from the notice to object (some guides mention up to 30 days citing service-guarantee timelines, but the notice window under the Rules is 15 days — treat that as your deadline)
2. Lodge it with the Talathi — orally or in writing, though a written objection quoting the ferfar number, your survey/gat number and the specific ground (wrong heirs, forged document, misstated share, wrong area) is what protects you later. Attach copies of your supporting documents
3. Collect the acknowledgement. The Talathi is bound to enter your objection in the register of disputed cases (Form III) and hand you a written acknowledgement in the prescribed form. Do not leave without it — the receipt is your proof that the entry became a disputed case within time
4. The entry freezes. A disputed entry cannot be certified until the objection is decided, so the mutation stops moving toward the 7/12
5. The hearing. Disputes are decided by the certifying officer — a revenue or survey officer not below the rank of Aval Karkun, in practice usually the Circle Officer — who fixes a date, with notice to all interested persons at least 15 days before the hearing. Attend with originals: the deed, prior 7/12 extracts, heirship proof, whatever carries your claim
6. The decision. The officer decides the dispute summarily and either certifies the entry, modifies it, or rejects it. A party aggrieved by the outcome can pursue an appeal under the Code — from that point the matter behaves like the rejected-ferfar appeals described in the ferfar status guide

Missed the window? If the entry is still uncertified, file anyway with a line explaining the delay — an officer can still take a genuine dispute on record before certification. After certification, the notice-board remedy is gone and only the appeal route remains, which is slower and costlier. The 15 days are cheap; use them.

After the notice: verify the certified entry landed

Once the window closes with no objection — or the dispute is decided in the applicant’s favour — the entry is certified. Then close the loop yourself:

• Pull a fresh 7/12 and confirm the new ferfar number appears in the mutation column, with holder names spelled exactly as the deed says
• For an e chawadi 7/12 cross-check, a digitally signed copy from Digital Satbara (₹15) is the version banks and lawyers accept — the signed-download walkthrough covers the wallet and download steps
• Keep the certified ferfar copy with the deed; together with the 7/12 they are the paper trail every future buyer, bank and heir will ask for

The e-chawadi quick reference keeps the one-page version of the board itself — where it lives, notice types, the 15-day window — and the ferfar lander covers the wider pipeline (entry, notice, certification, 7/12) if you need a summary to share.

The catch with a notice board is that it only works if you look at it — and nobody looks at a village dropdown every week. BhuMe does: it watches your survey number and sends a WhatsApp alert the moment a new ferfar notice or entry appears against it, then fetches the signed 7/12 and ferfar so you can act inside the 15-day window instead of discovering a certified mutation months later.
