In many cases, agricultural land can be purchased by individuals who qualify as agriculturists or who meet the conditions prescribed by the relevant authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before proceeding, consult a property lawyer or the local revenue office to confirm your eligibility status.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 2: Verify the 7\/12 Extract<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 7\/12 Extract (Satbara Utara) is one of the most important land records in Maharashtra.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Check the following details:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Name of the owner<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Survey number and Gat number<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Total area of the land<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Type of cultivation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crops grown<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Encumbrances or loans, if mentioned<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The seller&#8217;s name on the 7\/12 Extract should match the title documents and identity proof.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 3: Examine Mutation Entries<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mutation entries show the history of ownership transfers. They help establish whether the land has been inherited, sold, gifted, or transferred through any other legal process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask for certified copies of recent mutation entries and ensure that all previous transfers have been properly recorded.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 4: Conduct a Title Search<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A title
