Quick answer
Gujarat's land records are online: 7/12 utara, 8A and village form 6 for rural and converted land, and the property card for city survey areas, all on AnyROR; certified copies come from iORA. A flat buyer checks these to confirm the promoter's title and NA status, and the Index-2 on GARVI to prove their own purchase.
Which record applies to your property
| Record | Covers | What it proves | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7/12 utara (VF-7 and VF-12) | Survey numbers outside city survey | Holder, area, tenure, encumbrances, crops | AnyROR rural |
| 8A (khata) | All parcels held by one holder in a village | Total holding and assessment | AnyROR rural |
| Village form 6 (hakk patrak) | Mutation entries over time | Chain of title, NA order, mortgages, court orders | AnyROR rural |
| Property card | City survey numbers in corporation areas | Urban holder, tenure, area, encumbrances | AnyROR urban |
| Certified RoR / property card | Any of the above, digitally signed | Accepted by banks and the Sub-Registrar | iORA |
| Index-2 | A registered document | Your purchase: parties, price, duty, registration number | GARVI / iORA |
| Encumbrance certificate | Registered transactions on a property over a period | Registered mortgages and transfers | iORA |
How to view a 7/12 on AnyROR
- Open AnyROR → View Land Record – Rural.
- Choose the record type: VF-7 (survey number details), VF-8A (khata details), VF-6 (entry details), 135-D notice, or the old scanned 7/12.
- Select district, taluka and village. For a project, take the village and survey or block number from the RERA certificate or the title report filed on GujRERA.
- Enter the survey or block number and the captcha, and click Get Record Details.
- Read the holder's name, area (in hectare-are-sq m), tenure, and the other rights column for mortgages, leases or court attachments. Then open VF-6 and read the entries that produced the current record.
For city survey areas, use the urban search and the city survey (CS) number; the property card replaces the 7/12.
How to read the record: a buyer's checklist
- Holder matches the landowner named in the RERA title report and the development agreement with the promoter.
- Tenure is old tenure or NA; new-tenure or restricted-tenure land (juni/navi sharat) needs premium payment and permission before transfer.
- NA order for residential use is recorded in VF-6, with the TP scheme and final plot number if a town-planning scheme applies.
- Other rights show no undischarged mortgage, lis pendens, acquisition notice or government reservation; a construction-finance mortgage must be matched by the lender's NOC in your file.
- Entries in VF-6 are all certified; a pending 135-D notice means the record is changing.
- Area on the record reconciles with the land area on the RERA certificate.
Certified copies on iORA
Banks and the Sub-Registrar accept only digitally signed copies. On iORA choose the online RoR service, select the district, village and survey number, pay the fee and download the signed PDF; the same portal issues certified Index-2 copies, encumbrance certificates and certified document copies from the registration side. GARVI's help file explains the online Index-2 process.
From land record to your flat: the chain
For an apartment the title chain runs in six links. 7/12 or property card in the landowner's name → NA order and development permission → development agreement or sale to the promoter (registered, with Index-2). Then RERA registration with the title report → your agreement for sale and sale deed (registered, with Index-2) → society formation and conveyance of the land and common areas. Each link is a document you can ask for. Our buying process guide lists them in order, and the RERA check guide shows where the title report sits on GujRERA.
