Mojani (मोजणी) is the official government measurement of your land: a surveyor from Maharashtra’s Land Records department measures the plot against the original survey record, fixes the boundary on the ground and issues a certified map called the क-प्रत (k-prat). You apply online on the e-Mojani 2.0 portal — emojni.mahabhumi.gov.in — pay a fee that starts at ₹2,000 (rural) / ₹3,000 (urban) under the fee order effective June 2026, and track your mojani application status on the same portal or by SMS. Regular measurement is completed in about 90 days, fast-track in about 30. This guide covers the whole process — mojani kashi karavi, as the question is usually asked in Marathi — including the 2026 fee table, documents, timelines and what changed in e-Mojani 2.0.
What is mojani, and when do you need one?
Jamin mojani (जमीन मोजणी) — sarkari mojani when people want to stress that only the government’s measurement counts — is carried out by the Taluka Inspector of Land Records (Bhumi Abhilekh). You typically need one for:
- Hadd kayam (boundary fixation) — a neighbour’s fence, bund or construction doesn’t match the record
- Pot hissa (sub-division) — splitting a survey/gat number among heirs or buyers
- Buying or selling — verifying the physical extent matches the 7/12 utara before money moves
- Encroachment evidence — documenting exactly where your land starts and ends
- Non-agricultural (NA) conversion and land acquisition — area and boundaries must be fixed first
The measurement is made against the record, so get the paperwork straight first: an up-to-date 7/12 and no pending ferfar entries on the plot.
e-Mojani 2.0: what changed
The old process meant repeated office visits — apply, pay, receive the notice, then collect the क-प्रत in person. e-Mojani 2.0 (also searched as e mojani version 2 or mojani 2.0) digitised the process end to end. Piloted in Rajgad taluka and then rolled out across Pune district’s talukas and the state, the upgrade brought:
- Online application and payment — no challan trip to the bank or treasury
- Automatic fee calculation — the portal computes the charge from your plot details
- GNSS rover measurement — surveyors fix each boundary point with satellite positioning, so every corner of your plot gets precise latitude-longitude coordinates
- SMS and portal status updates at each stage — registration, fee, surveyor allotment, measurement date, map delivery
- Digitally signed क-प्रत delivered online — download the measurement map from home and verify it on the public portal
Jamin mojani fees in Maharashtra (2026)
The Revenue Department’s notification of 22 June 2026 (amending the 11 October 2024 order) replaced the old four-tier system (साधी / तातडीची / अति-तातडीची) with a consolidated two-tier structure and defined completion timelines:
| Area type | Regular (~90 days) | Fast-track (~30 days) |
|---|---|---|
| Rural (outside municipal limits) | ₹2,000 up to 2 ha, +₹1,000 per 2 ha | ₹8,000 up to 2 ha, +₹4,000 per 2 ha |
| Urban (municipal corporation/council/panchayat) | ₹3,000 up to 1 ha, +₹1,500 per 1 ha | ₹12,000 up to 1 ha, +₹6,000 per 1 ha |
Additional rates under the same order:
- Sub-division (pot hissa): ₹200 per sub-division rural; ₹1,000 regular / ₹4,000 fast-track urban
- Government land: 25% of the regular fee; local-body land: 50%
- Re-visit fee: 50% of the original fee or ₹10,000, whichever is lower
- Joint measurement: 1.5× the regular fee
- Higher-level inspection (sub-inspector up to district level): 3×–5× the original fee
The portal calculates the exact amount from your plot details before payment — treat that figure as authoritative if it differs from any table you find online, including this one.
How to apply for mojani online (मोजणी अर्ज)
- Open emojni.mahabhumi.gov.in and register with your mobile number, then log in (searches for e mojani 2.0 login end up here — there is no separate login site)
- Fill in applicant details and select your district, taluka, village and survey/gat number
- State the purpose of measurement — boundary dispute, pot hissa, sale, NA conversion, encroachment
- Enter co-holder and adjoining-holder details — the office serves them notice of the survey date
- Pay the fee the portal calculates and note your application number — you’ll need it for status checks
A shet mojani application (शेत = farm) follows exactly these steps; measuring farmland is what most applications are for. Online mojani application is the default route now, but the offline window still exists (below).
Check your mojani application status
- Online: on emojni.mahabhumi.gov.in choose the application-status search, select district, taluka and village, enter your application number (or registered mobile number) and year, complete the captcha and submit — the current stage, allotted surveyor and measurement date appear on screen
- SMS: e-Mojani 2.0 pushes updates to your registered mobile at each stage
- Offline: quote your application number at the taluka Bhumi Abhilekh office
The mojani nakasha (क-प्रत): what you receive
After the survey you receive the क-प्रत (k-prat) — the certified mojani nakasha (measurement map). Under e-Mojani 2.0 it is digitally signed, shows the measured boundary with latitude-longitude coordinates for each point, marks any encroachment relative to the record, and downloads directly from the portal. It is the document courts and revenue officers rely on in boundary matters — far more authoritative than the reference map on the Bhu Naksha portal. How that free online जमीन नकाशा differs from the क-प्रत — and when each is enough — is covered in our jamin nakasha guide.
Documents required
- Current 7/12 utara of the plot (see how to download it digitally)
- Boundary certificate (चतु:सीमा) from the talathi office
- Fee payment receipt
- Details of any boundary dispute on the plot
- A rough sketch of the property
- The purpose of measurement
Timelines and measurement day
The 2026 order defines completion targets of roughly 90 days (regular) and 30 days (fast-track). Adjoining holders are served notice at least 15 days before the measurement date so they can attend and object on the spot; if a notified neighbour doesn’t attend, the survey still proceeds. On the day, the surveyor measures with a GNSS rover in the presence of those attending, fixes boundary marks and records any encroachment.
Applying offline instead
Visit the taluka Bhumi Abhilekh (Land Records) office: submit the application form with the documents above, pay the fee and collect your acknowledgment. Processing follows the same tiers and timelines as the online route.
Is there a jamin mojani app?
No — there is no official mojani mobile app. Apps named “jamin mojani” on the Play Store are third-party area calculators that estimate area from GPS walks; their output has no legal standing. The official channels are the e-Mojani portal and the taluka office, and the only map that counts is the क-प्रत.
From chain surveys to GNSS rovers
Mojani predates the portal by two centuries: the British-era revenue survey created Maharashtra’s first systematic village maps using metal measuring chains (conical chain surveying), and those records still anchor today’s measurements. The National Land Records Modernization Programme funded the digitisation that became e-Mojani, and e-Mojani 2.0’s GNSS rovers now fix boundaries by satellite against those same original records.

Before you file a mojani arj, make sure the record you’re measuring against is current. BhuMe fetches your digitally signed 7/12, 8A and ferfar on WhatsApp — Marathi names handled — and keeps monitoring your survey number afterwards.
