7/12 extract (Satbara Utara) in Maharashtra, Units and details of Land measurements and Assessment

 

In a 7/12 extract (Satbara Utara) in Maharashtra, "Hec-Are" (often written in Marathi as हे.आर.) stands for Hectare and Are, which are the official metric units used by the Maharashtra Revenue Department to measure land area. [1, 2]

Breakdown of the Terms

The total area of a land parcel is divided into columns for a precise reading: [1]

• Hec (हे - Hectare): The larger unit of measurement.
• Are (आर - Are): The smaller unit of measurement.
• Note: Sometimes, a third sub-column for Sq. Mtr. (चौ.मी. - Square Meters) is included for extreme precision. [1, 2]

Unit Conversion Values

To understand the actual physical size of your land, you can use these conversions: [1]

• 1 Hectare = 100 Ares = 10,000 Square Meters = 2.47 Acres
• 1 Are = 100 Square Meters = 1,076.4 Square Feet [1, 2, 3, 4]

Examples of How to Read It

If you look at the total area section on your 7/12 extract, the numbers under हे.आर. represent the following: [1, 2, 3]

• If it shows 0 . 40
  • It means 0 Hectares and 40 Ares.
  • This is equal to 4,000 square meters. Since 1 Guntha roughly equals 1 Are (with a tiny 13 sq. ft. difference), this is approximately 40 Gunthas (or exactly 1 Acre). [1, 2, 3, 4]
• If it shows 1 . 25
  • It means 1 Hectare and 25 Ares.
  • This is equal to 12,500 square meters (approx. 1.25 Acres / 125 Gunthas). [1, 2, 3]

Why Doesn't it Show Acres or Gunthas?

Maharashtra officially switched from traditional units like Acre and Guntha to the metric system (Hectare and Are) in the early 1970s. While locals still verbally use "Guntha" interchangeably with "Are" for convenience, the legal document will strictly utilize the metric system.

 

 

In a Maharashtra 7/12 (Satbara) extract, "hec" stands for Hectare and "are" stands for Are. These are official metric units used to denote the physical land area. The format on the extract typically reads as Hectare - Are - Square Meter (e.g., 1 - 20 - 0 means 1 Hectare and 20 Ares). [1, 2, 3]

The exact conversion and meanings of these land measurements are as follows:

• Hectare (हे - Hec): A standard metric unit of measurement.
  • 1 Hectare = 10,000 square meters (or about 2.47 acres). [1, 2]
• Are (आर - Ar): A sub-unit of a hectare.
  • 1 Are = 100 square meters (or 1,076.4 square feet).
  • 100 Ares = 1 Hectare. [1, 2]
• Square Meter (चौ.मी - Sq.m): The smallest unit typically displayed, representing a single square meter of land. [1, 2]

Common Local Conversions

People often confuse "Are" with the traditional unit "Guntha", though they are slightly different: [1, 2, 3, 4]

• 1 Guntha = 1,089 square feet.
• 1 Are = 1,076.4 square feet.
• 1 Acre = 43,560 square feet (or 40 Gunthas). [1, 2]

In the 7/12 (Satbara) extract in Maharashtra, "Assessment (Rs.Ps.) 1-32" refers to the annual land revenue or tax levied on the land by the state government. It is written in the traditional Rupee and Paise format (Rs. Ps.). [1, 2]

• Rs. 1: Represents 1 Rupee.
• Ps. 32: Represents 32 Paise.
• Total: The government assessment for this specific parcel of land is ₹1.32 per annum.

Context in the 7/12 Extract

The 7/12 extract is the primary document used by the Revenue Department for establishing land rights and collecting taxes. This specific figure is determined by the "Judi" (the land revenue or tax) based on the soil type, fertility, crop production, and total area of the holding. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

While this historical tax amount is usually very small (as it was fixed decades ago), it is a critical piece of the "Record of Rights". It verifies that the property is officially recognized in government ledgers and can help determine the tax liability when calculating non-agricultural conversion charges. [1, 2]
