Check ferfar status online (Aaple Chawadi)
Aaple Chawadi (आपली चावडी) is the digital version of the village notice board — every pending mutation is published there before it is certified. If you searched ferfar online Maharashtra, this notice board is the answer — it is free and needs no login.
- Open bhulekh.mahabhumi.gov.in and follow the Aaple Chawadi / digital notice board link
- Select your district, taluka and village
- The board lists each pending ferfar with its number, type, date and status — pending notice, objection received, or ready for certification
Two related checks:
- You filed the application yourself (e-Hakk): track it on pdeigr.maharashtra.gov.in with your application number
- Already certified: the ferfar number appears on your 7/12 utara — pull a fresh copy and check the mutation column
What a ferfar is
The ferfar register is Village Form VI (गाव नमुना ६), kept by the Talathi. Every change in rights over a plot — however it arises — gets a numbered entry describing what changed, in whose favour, and on what basis. Once the entry is certified, the change is carried onto the 7/12. That is why the 7/12 alone never tells the full story: the ferfar history behind it shows how the current holder came to be on the record.
Types of ferfar
| Type | Marathi | Triggered by |
|---|---|---|
| Sale mutation | खरेदी फेरफार | Registered sale deed (kharedi khat) |
| Heirship mutation | वारस फेरफार | Death of the holder; heirs apply with proof |
| Loan / charge entry | बोजा फेरफार | Bank or society loan against the land |
| Charge release | बोजा कमी | Loan repaid; encumbrance removed |
| Gift / relinquishment | बक्षीस / हक्कसोड | Registered gift deed or release of rights |
| Court / order entry | न्यायालयीन आदेश | Decree, partition or revenue order |
How a mutation reaches your 7/12
- Trigger — a sale deed registered at the Sub-Registrar flows to the Talathi automatically through the linked e-Ferfar system (the system many people search for as e ferfar Maharashtra); other changes (heirship, loan entries, corrections) are filed online via e-Hakk on pdeigr.maharashtra.gov.in or in person with the Talathi
- Entry — the Talathi records a numbered entry in Village Form VI
- Notice — interested parties are notified and the entry is published on Aaple Chawadi; the objection window stays open at least 15 days
- Certification — if no objection stands, the Circle Officer certifies the entry; disputes go into the register of disputed cases and are heard first
- Record update — the certified change appears on the 7/12, with the ferfar number cited
The transaction details behind a sale mutation live in the registered deed and its Index 2 — always read the two together when verifying a purchase.

Objections and disputes
If a mutation is entered against your land that you believe is wrong, object within the notice window — in writing to the Talathi or Circle Officer, citing the ferfar number from Aaple Chawadi. The entry then becomes a disputed case and cannot be certified until decided. If you miss the window and the entry is certified, remedies shift to appeals before higher revenue authorities, which is slower — another reason to watch the notice board for your survey number.
Don’t find out months later
Most people learn about a ferfar on their land only when they next pull a 7/12. BhuMe monitors your survey number, alerts you the moment a new mutation entry or notice appears, and delivers the latest signed extracts on WhatsApp — with Marathi-script names handled for you.
