Property Card (Malmatta Patrak) Maharashtra: Download Online

Q: What is a malmatta patrak (property card)?

It is the government land record for urban plots in Maharashtra maintained under the city survey. It shows the CTS number, plot area, holder's name and how they acquired the land, tenure, encumbrances such as loans or leases, and any government dues on the plot.

Q: How do I download my property card online?

For a free informational view, use bhulekh.mahabhumi.gov.in and pick the property card (malmatta patrak) option, then select your district and city survey office and enter the CTS number. For a legally valid copy, register on digitalsatbara.mahabhumi.gov.in, recharge the account, and download the digitally signed property card PDF.

Q: Is the free online property card legally valid?

No — the free Bhulekh view is for information only. Banks, courts and registration offices accept the digitally signed property card downloaded from digitalsatbara.mahabhumi.gov.in, or a certified copy issued by the City Survey Office.

Q: What is a CTS number?

The City Title Survey (CTS) number is the plot number assigned during the city survey of an urban area — the urban counterpart of a rural survey or gat number. You will find it on an old property card, in your sale deed or its Index 2, or from the City Survey Office.

Q: What is the difference between a property card and a 7/12?

They cover different areas: the 7/12 utara is the record for rural and agricultural land maintained by the Talathi, while the property card covers urban land under city survey. A plot has one or the other, never both — when a village area is brought under city survey, its 7/12 is closed and a property card opens.

Q: How do I change the name on a property card?

Ownership changes flow through a mutation with the City Survey Office — typically after a registered sale deed, or on inheritance with heirship proof. Apply to the city survey office holding your record, with the deed or order; the office issues notices to interested parties before recording the change.

Q: Which cities in Maharashtra use property cards?

All areas brought under city survey — including Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Nashik, Thane and other municipal areas. Land in the same city that is still outside the city-survey limits continues on the 7/12 system until it is surveyed.

Q: What is the property card meaning in Marathi?

In Marathi the property card is called मालमत्ता पत्रक (malmatta patrak) — malmatta means property and patrak means card or sheet. It is the city-survey ownership record for urban plots, the urban counterpart of the rural 7/12 utara.

The property card (malmatta patrak) is the ownership record for urban land in Maharashtra — the city-survey equivalent of the rural 7/12. You can view it free on bhulekh.mahabhumi.gov.in by selecting your district and city survey office and entering the CTS number, and download a legally valid digitally signed copy from digitalsatbara.mahabhumi.gov.in.

What a property card shows

The malmatta patrak is the urban plot’s master record. A typical card carries:

CTS number and plot area
Holder’s name and how the plot was acquired, with the history of past holders
Tenure — freehold, leasehold or government grant, with any conditions
Encumbrances — loans, leases and other charges recorded against the plot
Government dues and remarks — pending survey fees or special notes

Buyers read it the same way they read a 7/12 utara for farmland: who holds this plot, under what tenure, and what is registered against it.

Property card vs 7/12

	Property card	7/12 utara
Covers	Urban land under city survey	Rural / agricultural land
Plot number	CTS number	Survey / gat number
Maintained by	City Survey Office (Nagar Bhumapan)	Talathi (village revenue office)
Crop details	No	Yes (Form XII)
Mutations	Recorded via the City Survey Office	Recorded via ferfar entries with the Talathi

One plot has exactly one of the two records. If your “village” no longer appears on the Mahabhulekh 7/12 dropdowns, it has likely been brought under city survey — look for the property card instead.
