जमीन नकाशा ऑनलाईन: गट नंबर टाकून नकाशा पहा (2026)

जमीन नकाशा (jamin nakasha — the land map) for any plot in Maharashtra is free on the government’s Maha Bhu Naksha portal — mahabhunakasha.mahabhumi.gov.in. Select Rural or Urban, then your district → taluka → village, and type your गट नंबर (gat number) or survey number in the plot search — the map highlights your plot, and the Plot Info panel shows its area, pot kharaba, khata numbers and owner names. From there, Map Report → Show Report PDF gives a printable single-plot map, free. Two limits to know before you rely on it: the printout is reference only — the certified map is the मोजणी नकाशा (क-प्रत) from the Land Records office, fees from ₹2,000 — and the flat drawing can’t show you where the boundary falls on actual ground. Every step below was checked against the live portal in August 2026.

जमीन नकाशा म्हणजे काय — and what it can settle

The jamin nakasha is Maharashtra’s cadastral map: the official drawing of every plot in a village, to scale, with its survey or gat number and the plots that surround it. It is the spatial half of the land record. The 7/12 utara answers who holds gat 214 and how much area — the nakasha answers where 214 sits, what shape it is, and what touches it on each side. People search for it under many names — भू नकाशा (bhu naksha), गाव नकाशा (gaav nakasha — the whole village sheet), शेत जमीन नकाशा, land map with survey number — and the same portal serves all of them.

What it settles: which numbered plot is where, who the record shows against each number, and which numbers bound yours — enough for buying diligence, loan paperwork and most argument-ending family conversations. What it cannot settle: the exact boundary line on the ground. That takes a government measurement, covered below. For a quick-reference version of this whole topic, see the Bhu Naksha lander; this guide goes deeper on the portal itself and its failure modes.

गट नंबर टाकून नकाशा पहा: the live portal, step by step

The portal’s home URL bounces through a security redirect — if the root address spins, open the Maharashtra state page directly: mahabhunakasha.mahabhumi.gov.in/27/index.html (27 is Maharashtra’s state code; the State box even reads “Maharastra”, the portal’s own spelling). Then:

1. Category — choose Rural for village (survey/gat) land or Urban for city-surveyed areas. The rural list shows 34 districts (Mumbai City and Mumbai Suburban have no rural villages); the urban list shows all 36
2. District — rural district names appear in Marathi with their codes (“25 पुणे”, “05 अकोला”); urban ones in English
3. Taluka, then Village — village names carry a long numeric code before the name; large villages are split into भाग 1 / भाग 2 (part 1 / part 2), so check both parts if your plot doesn’t appear in the first
4. Plot number — type your gat/survey number in the Search Plot No box (“Enter Parcel No…”) or pick it from the Select Plot No dropdown, which lists every number in the village
5. The map — drawn on the portal’s OpenLayers viewer — zooms to your plot and outlines it, and the Plot Info panel fills with the record details
6. Click Map Report to open the printable Plot Report in a new tab

The same flow works on a phone — the portal runs a mobile version at the same address — though the dropdowns are easier on a bigger screen.

Reading the Plot Info panel: area, pot kharaba, khata

For a selected plot, the panel lists every khata (account) recorded against that number — one block per holder, each showing:

Three reading habits save real mistakes. First, a single survey number often lists many holders — a gat with a dozen khata blocks is normal, and the map outline covers all of them together. Second, the panel is unsigned reference data: names and areas come from the linked record, but anything you’ll act on should be verified on the digitally signed 7/12 utara. Third, the map lags the paper trail — a fresh subdivision or sale reaches the nakasha after its mutation is certified, so if you just registered a purchase, track the ferfar first and expect the map to catch up later.

Bounding numbers: the dispute-checking trick nobody uses

Every plot on the nakasha is defined as much by its neighbours as by itself. The old paper टिपण (tipan) and फाळणी नकाशा always showed the bounding survey numbers — चतु:सीमा, the four boundaries — and the online map gives you the same thing visually: zoom out one notch and read the numbers of every plot touching yours.

Use that in three situations. Before buying, pull the 7/12 of each bounding number and check the areas and holders look sane — a neighbour whose recorded area has quietly grown is a classic encroachment tell. In a boundary argument, knowing that gat 213 and 215 bound your 214 turns “he moved the bund” into a specific, checkable claim about which line moved. In notices and deeds, the bounding numbers are how a plot is legally described — reading them off the nakasha beats copying them from a 30-year-old deed. And when the argument survives the paperwork, the answer is not a better printout: it is an official measurement, next section.

Free printout vs certified मोजणी नकाशा (क-प्रत)

The nakasha you print is free — and free is exactly what it is worth in court. The certified map is a different document from a different office:

The क-प्रत is issued only after a government surveyor measures your plot against the original survey record — under e-Mojani 2.0 it comes digitally signed, with measured latitude-longitude for every boundary point. Under the Revenue Department’s fee order of 22 June 2026, regular mojani costs ₹2,000 for up to 2 hectares rural (₹1,000 per additional 2 ha) and ₹3,000 for up to 1 hectare urban; fast-track is ₹8,000 rural / ₹12,000 urban with a ~30-day target. The full fee table, documents and application steps are in our e-Mojani guide.

The rule of thumb: screen with the free nakasha, spend on the क-प्रत only when money or a dispute turns on the boundary — a sale of part of a plot, a fencing fight, a court filing, an encroachment claim. For everything else the printout plus a verified 7/12 does the job.

Download and print the PDF — and the scale trap

Clicking Map Report opens the Plot Report page, which offers more than most guides mention:

• SCALE — a dropdown with Actual Scale, Best Fit and Custom
• SELECT REPORT — Single Plot, or All Plots of same owner (every plot the same khata holds in the village, on one report — useful for an 8A-style overview)
• Show Report PDF — generates the printable map; a Sign option sits alongside it on the current portal

The trap is the scale. Best Fit stretches the drawing to fill the page — convenient to read, useless to measure, because the printed centimetres no longer correspond to a fixed ground distance. If you intend to hold a ruler to the printout, generate it at Actual Scale (or a Custom scale you note down) and check the scale statement printed on the report. And whatever the setting, remember what the paper is: a reproduction of the survey drawing, not a measurement of today’s ground — the क-प्रत exists precisely because printouts and reality drift apart.

Survey, gat or CTS: which number does your plot use?

Maharashtra’s plots carry one of three ID types, by the survey history of the area:

• Survey number + hissa (सर्व्हे नं / हिस्सा नं) — the original revenue-survey numbering, still used in villages that were never consolidated; subdivisions ride as hissa (15/2)
• Gat number (गट नं) — assigned where scattered holdings were consolidated under the एकत्रीकरण scheme; these villages dropped survey numbers entirely, which is why your 7/12 may say गट नं where your grandfather’s papers said सर्व्हे नं
• CTS number (City Title Survey / सिटी सर्व्हे नं) — city-surveyed urban pockets, where the operative record is the property card, not the 7/12

The portal’s Urban category follows the CTS world: districts appear in English, the “taluka” level lists CTSO offices (City Survey offices, e.g. “01 Ahmednagar CTSO”), the “village” is the city-survey unit, and plot details surface as Property Card Information. So: 7/12 in hand → Rural category, search the survey/gat number exactly as printed. Property card in hand → Urban category, search the CTS number. If a number “doesn’t exist”, nine times out of ten it’s the right number in the wrong category.

नकाशा दिसत नाही? Fixes that actually work

The site won’t open / spins forever. The root URL performs a cookie handshake that some browsers and networks fumble. Open the state page directly — mahabhunakasha.mahabhumi.gov.in/27/index.html — in a normal (non-incognito) tab, allow cookies, and try off-peak hours; the server visibly slows on weekday mornings. The mobile version at the same domain is a lighter fallback when the desktop viewer chokes.

The map tiles don’t load after selecting the village. Usually the viewer, not you: give the OpenLayers canvas a few seconds, click the + zoom once to force a tile refresh, or reselect the village. Persistent blank maps for one specific village mean its sheet isn’t served yet — treat it as a missing-village case.

My village is missing from the list. In order: (1) check the other category — Rural vs Urban surprises account for most “missing” villages; (2) scan for भाग 1 / भाग 2 split entries and nearby spelling variants — the list sorts by Marathi alphabet and codes, not the spelling you expect; (3) if genuinely absent, that taluka’s cadastral sheets are still being digitised — the paper गाव नकाशा remains available at the taluka Bhumi Abhilekh office, and the department’s directorate (dlrmah.mah@nic.in) takes reports of gaps. Historic scanned maps are also coming online through the Aaple Abhilekh archive (aapleabhilekh.mahabhumi.gov.in).

My plot number is missing. Match the format on your 7/12 exactly — hissa numbers make 15 and 15/2 different entries, and a recently subdivided or consolidated number may still be mapped under its parent. If the mutation that created your number is fresh, the nakasha may simply not have absorbed it yet — check the ferfar status and revisit after certification.

From white paper to real fields

The nakasha’s last limitation is the one you feel standing at the edge of a field: the portal draws your plot on blank white paper, and nothing on it says which field, next to which well, along which road. BhuMe closes that gap — the app overlays Maharashtra’s cadastral maps on live satellite imagery, so you type a gat or survey number (Marathi handled) and see the plot’s true boundaries across real fields, roads and landmarks, with owner names on tap. Check a plot’s map, pull its digitally signed 7/12, and share both on WhatsApp — before you buy, before you fence, before you argue.
