Action on Land If 7/12 Entries Show Restrictions!

• Fraud in land transactions is increasing in Maharashtra due to a lack of understanding of land records like 7/12 and 8-A.
• Maharashtra land is classified into Old Tenure (Class 1), New Tenure (Class 2), and Government Leasehold.
• Old Tenure land (वर्ग 1) is fully private ('खा' on 7/12) with no government restrictions on sale or purchase.
• New Tenure land (वर्ग 2) requires government permission for sale; unauthorized transactions are illegal and risk confiscation.
• Government Leasehold land is temporary, prohibits sale until lease expiry, and is high-risk; always verify records and seek expert advice before transactions.

Why It Matters: Understanding land records prevents fraud and secures property investments.
