Which land record do you need?
Maharashtra keeps land records in a handful of documents, and each one answers a different question. For farmland, the 7/12 utara (सातबारा) shows who owns a survey or gat number, its area in hectare-are and any loans or rights on it, while the 8A utara lists every survey number one landholder holds in the village. In cities, ownership of city-survey (CTS) land is on the property card (मालमत्ता पत्रक) instead of a 7/12.
When land changes hands, the sale is registered as a deed: Index 2 is the registration summary you can search on IGR Maharashtra, and the kharedi khat is the full sale deed. The talathi then records the change as a ferfar (mutation entry); pending entries are published as notices on e-chawadi (आपली चावडी) so anyone can object before they are certified.
For the ground itself, bhu naksha shows the plot boundary on the village map, and an e-mojani application gets a government surveyor to measure or demarcate it. Before buying, check all of them together — the 7/12 for the owner, ferfar for recent changes, and Index 2 for registered deeds.
