Differene between Mutation - Ferfar Record and 7/12 extract
Mutation record (Ferfar) and 7/12 extract (Satbara Utara) are related but technically separate documents, though the 7/12 extract records the effect of mutation. Let me explain clearly:
🔹 7/12 Extract (Satbara Utara)
- Shows current ownership and land details: survey number, area, land type, crops (if agricultural), and current owners’ names.
- The remarks column may mention the mutation number or reference, but it does not provide full details of the mutation transaction.
- Purpose: Snapshot of present ownership & land use.
🔹 Mutation Record (Ferfar)
-
A detailed record of ownership change maintained in the revenue office.
-
Contains:
- Previous owner(s)
- New owner(s)
- Nature of transfer (sale, gift, inheritance, partition)
- Mutation order number & date
- Revenue officer approval
-
Essentially, mutation is the official process by which the ownership recorded in 7/12 is updated.
🔹 Relationship Between Them
- Mutation happens first (Collector/Talathi approves ownership change).
- Then 7/12 extract is updated to reflect the new owner.
- So 7/12 shows current ownership, while mutation record shows the history of changes.
- For legal verification (like a title report), advocates review both 7/12 + detailed mutation records.
🔹 Summary Table
| Feature | 7/12 Extract (Satbara) | Mutation Record (Ferfar) |
|---|---|---|
| Shows | Current owner & land details | Ownership change history |
| Includes | Remarks column (may reference mutation) | Previous & new owners, type of transfer, order no. |
| Purpose | Proof of possession / status | Official ownership change record |
| Use for buyers | Quick check of current owner | Trace title history / disputes |
✅ Key point:
- 7/12 = present snapshot,
- Mutation record = detailed transaction history.
