E-Chawadi Maharashtra (आपली चावडी): Check Ferfar Notices Online

What is e-chawadi (आपली चावडी) in Maharashtra?

The chawadi is the village office and 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), a complete copy of the entry must be posted at the chawadi and written notice given to everyone who appears interested. Only after that notice, and after any objection is decided, can the entry be certified onto the 7/12 utara or the property card.

Aapli Chawadi (“our chawadi”, also spelt Aaple Chawadi) moved that board online for every village in all 36 districts. People search for it as e chawadi, aapli chawadi, 7/12 chawadi or e chawadi 7/12, because it is where a change to the 7/12 shows up first. Strictly, e-Chawadi (ई-चावडी) is the Revenue Department’s project that computerised the Talathi’s village forms 1 to 21, and Aapli Chawadi is the citizen-facing board that came out of it. Some Gram Panchayat services also use “e-chawadi” for village tax registers; those are council records, not the mutation notice board.

What is an e-chawadi ferfar notice (फेरफार नोटीस)?

A ferfar notice is the public copy of a proposed mutation, the notice required by Section 150(2). Aapli Chawadi lists them village-wise as हरकत कालावधी चालू फेरफार नोटीस: mutations that are still inside their objection period. The notice tells you three things: what is about to change on a survey number, on the strength of which document, and the last date to object. Once that date passes without a dispute, the entry can be certified and the change appears on the 7/12. To keep a copy of a notice, print the page or save it as a PDF from your browser.

E-chawadi official website: which portal is the real one?

Four different portals answer to “e chawadi”. Only the first shows ferfar notices:

The Maharashtra land records department’s own services page, bhumiabhilekh.maharashtra.gov.in, lists “Aapli Chawadi (village digital notice board)” as a free service linking to the Digital Satbara address above, and lists the e-Chawadi citizen portal separately. The bhulekh.mahabhumi.gov.in homepage links to the same board. Many older guides send people to echawadicitizen; if you land on a page titled ई-शेतसारा, you are on the revenue-payment portal.

How to check e-chawadi notices online for your village

To see आपली चावडी फेरफार notices online, open Aapli Chawadi and follow these steps. Viewing is free and needs no login.

1. Choose the notice type: सातबारा (फेरफार) for agricultural land, or मालमत्ता पत्रक (फेरफार) for an urban property card
2. Select your district (जिल्हा), taluka (तालुका) and village (गाव)
3. Enter the captcha and press आपली चावडी पहा
4. The village’s notices load as a list. Scan the survey/gat column for your plot
5. Press पहा on a row to open the full entry, and note the ferfar number and last date for objection

The notice-type list covers more than land mutations:

For a land deal the first two matter most. A मोजणी notice on a neighbouring plot is worth opening too, because a boundary measurement can touch your holding.

What does a ferfar notice show?

Read the notice in this order:

• फेरफार क्रमांक (ferfar number): the mutation’s serial number in the village. Quote it in every objection or follow-up. It is the number that later appears in the mutation column of the 7/12
• फेरफाराचा प्रकार (type): खरेदी (a sale through a registered kharedi khat), वारस (heirship after a death, filed as a varas nond), बोजा (a loan charge added, or removed as बोजा कमी), हक्कसोड (release of rights), वाटप (partition)
• Outgoing and incoming holders: the names losing and gaining rights, spelt exactly as they will appear on the 7/12. Check spellings now; a mistake caught at notice stage is a quick fix, the same mistake after certification needs a formal correction
• Basis document: the deed number and Sub-Registrar office, court order, heirship certificate or bank letter the entry rests on. For a sale, it should match the deed’s Index 2
• Last date for objection (हरकत नोंदविण्याची शेवटची तारीख): at least 15 days from the notice

A notice on your survey number with a type you don’t recognise, such as a बोजा you never took or a खरेदी you never signed, is the earliest fraud warning the system gives.

E-chawadi 7/12 status check: search by ferfar or document number

The same Aapli Chawadi site also shows the village’s pending ferfar (entries whose objection period is over but which are not yet certified) and a status search: enter the ferfar number, or the registered document number of your deed, to see where that mutation stands today. For what each status means (प्रलंबित pending, मंजूर certified, नामंजूर rejected) and how to chase an entry that is stuck, see our ferfar status guide.

Your name is in someone else’s ferfar notice

The Talathi has to notify everyone plausibly interested, so this is common. You may be listed as a co-holder on the same survey number, a boundary neighbour, a legal heir in a varas entry, or the borrower or guarantor on a बोजा. Act within the window when:

• An heirship entry leaves you, or another heir, out. Once it is certified, the recorded heirs go on the 7/12 and you have to litigate your way back on
• Land you co-hold is being sold and your share or consent is misstated
• The entry rests on a document you never signed. Object at once and state the forgery in writing

If the entry is routine and does not touch your rights, you need not do anything.

How to file a harkat (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. None of it happens on the website:

1. Object within 15 days of the notice. Some guides mention 30 days, citing service timelines; treat 15 days as your deadline
2. Lodge it with the Talathi, orally or in writing. A written objection that quotes the ferfar number, your survey/gat number and the ground (wrong heirs, forged document, wrong share, wrong area) protects you later. Attach copies of your documents
3. Take the acknowledgement. The Talathi must enter your objection in the register of disputed cases and give you a written acknowledgement. Don’t leave without it
4. The entry freezes. A disputed entry cannot be certified until the objection is decided
5. The hearing. The certifying officer, a revenue officer not below the rank of Aval Karkun and usually the Circle Officer, fixes a date with at least 15 days’ notice to everyone interested. Bring originals: the deed, earlier 7/12 extracts, heirship proof
6. The decision. The officer certifies, changes or rejects the entry. Whoever disagrees can appeal under the Code

Missed the window? If the entry is still uncertified, file anyway and explain the delay. After certification only the appeal route is left.

E-chawadi not working or village not found?

• A page titled ई-शेतसारा opens: you are on echawadicitizen, the revenue-payment portal. Use the Aapli Chawadi link above
• Village missing from the list: re-select the taluka. If it is still missing, ask the Talathi which revenue village your gat number falls under; hamlets are often filed under a parent village
• No notices listed: no ferfar in the village is inside its objection period right now. Check the pending-ferfar view, or search by ferfar number
• Your sale is not on the board yet: a registered deed reaches the Talathi through the linked e-Ferfar system, and the notice is generated after the Talathi takes up the entry, so allow a few days after registration
• Captcha keeps failing or the site is slow: reload the page for a fresh captcha and try outside office hours
• The site is in Marathi: the notice board is Marathi-first; district, taluka and village names appear in Devanagari

E-chawadi vs ferfar vs 7/12 vs 8A

The board shows what is about to change; the records show what has changed.

Is there an e-chawadi (Aapli Chawadi) app?

We found no government app for the notice board; the website works in a mobile browser. Private apps and sites sell or show the same notices. Before paying, check who runs the app: viewing is free on the government site, and a printout from a private site is not a certified record.

What changed in 2026?

• MahaBhumi Stack (launched 9 September 2026) brings more than ten land-record services onto one portal, including 400 million mutation records (UNI report). The Aapli Chawadi board itself still lives at the Digital Satbara address above
• The land records department’s services page at bhumiabhilekh.maharashtra.gov.in now lists Aapli Chawadi as a free service, separate from the e-Chawadi land-revenue portal
• Email notices for revenue hearings: on 11 February 2026 the State Cabinet approved an amendment to the Land Revenue Code so that a hearing notice sent to a party’s registered email counts as served (Free Press Journal). If you object to a ferfar, give the Talathi an email address you check

After the notice: confirm the entry landed

Once the window closes with no objection, or the dispute is decided, the entry is certified. Then:

• Pull a fresh 7/12 and confirm the new ferfar number appears in the mutation column, with names spelt exactly as in the deed
• For a copy banks and lawyers accept, download the digitally signed 7/12 or ferfar from Digital Satbara (₹15 each); the signed-download walkthrough covers the steps
• Keep the certified ferfar with the deed. Every future buyer, bank and heir will ask for both

For the other land records and district pages, start from the Maharashtra land records hub.

Let BhuMe watch the board for you

A notice board only works if you look at it, and nobody checks a village dropdown every week. BhuMe monitors your survey number, alerts you on WhatsApp when a notice or mutation appears against it, and fetches the digitally signed 7/12, 8A and ferfar with Marathi names handled, so you can act inside the 15 days instead of finding a certified mutation months later.
