7/12 Thane, satbara Thane, 7/12 utara Thane — different search phrasings, one record. Before you pull it, though, know about the district split that trips up most searches.
The Palghar split — read this before you search
In August 2014, Palghar district was carved out of Thane. Talukas including Vasai, Palghar, Dahanu, Talasari, Jawhar, Mokhada, Vikramgad and Wada moved to the new district. What remains in Thane are 7 talukas: Thane, Kalyan, Bhiwandi, Murbad, Shahapur, Ulhasnagar and Ambernath.
This matters for records:
- Searching today: if the village went to Palghar, search under Palghar district on Mahabhulekh, even if every old paper you hold says Thane.
- Old extracts: a pre-2014 7/12 naming Thane as the district is still valid evidence for its date. New certified copies are simply issued under the new district name.
- Chains of title: expect the district name to flip mid-chain in the ferfar (mutation) history — that alone is not a defect.

City limits: where the 7/12 stops
Most of Thane district’s population lives on land the 7/12 does not cover. Thane city, Kalyan-Dombivli, Navi Mumbai, Ulhasnagar, Ambernath — city-surveyed urban land there is recorded on the property card. The 7/12 remains the record for the district’s rural belt: Shahapur, Murbad, rural Bhiwandi and village pockets being absorbed by expanding municipal corporations.
That absorption is exactly when records get messy — a village moving from Talathi records to city survey mid-transaction. Cross-check the plot on the Bhu Naksha cadastral map so you know which regime your land is under.
