Revenue & Conveyancing
Mastery in land revenue records, NA permissions, property mutation, and precision conveyance documentation.
Securing the Root of Title with Revenue Expertise
Land records in Gujarat are among the most comprehensive in India and among the most technically demanding to navigate. A single survey number can carry an ownership history spanning over a century, passing through inheritance, partition, sale, court decree, government acquisition, and reconveyance, each recorded in a different layer of the revenue record system. Understanding this system properly, including the 7/12 Extract, the 8-A account of rights, mutation registers, sub-registrar indexes, and NA sanad records, requires years of sustained hands-on practice before revenue authorities. At HRU Legal, this expertise has been built and refined across four generations of practice in Gujarat's revenue courts and registrar offices.
We provide the full range of revenue and conveyancing legal services in Gujarat: title searches and investigation, NA permission applications for converting agricultural land to non-agricultural use, property mutation after sales and successions, revenue record corrections, and the drafting, stamping, and registration of all categories of property documents. When revenue disputes arise regarding ownership, boundaries, tenancy claims, or NA permission refusals, we provide representation before the complete hierarchy of revenue authorities, from the Mamlatdar through the Taluka Development Officer, the District Collector, and the Gujarat Revenue Tribunal.

01Tracing
Before any property transaction is finalised, we trace the full ownership history of the property, going back a minimum of thirty years through Gujarat's layered revenue record system. This means examining the 7/12 Extract (Satbara Utara), the 8-A account of rights, the Hakkpatra recording the original basis of rights and the original grant or settlement, and the mutation registers (Ferfar) that record every change of ownership since the records were first created. We cross-reference these with the sub-registrar's registered document index to identify every instrument that has affected the property within the search period, including sale deeds, gift deeds, mortgage deeds, court decrees, and family settlements.
For agricultural land, we also examine any restrictions on its transfer: whether it is classified as tribal land requiring Collector permission, whether a tenancy claim exists under the Gujarat Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, whether the land has been notified or acquired for a government purpose, and whether any condition attached to an original government grant remains unsatisfied. Any of these restrictions can fundamentally affect whether the property can be safely purchased or developed.
The Title Report we prepare clearly identifies every link in the ownership chain, flags every legal issue found, and specifies exactly what must be resolved before the transaction can safely proceed.
Domain Mastery
Revenue Records (7/12)
We provide verification, correction, and maintenance of 7/12 Extracts: challenging wrongful entries through formal revision proceedings, rectifying computerisation errors, and confirming that the 7/12 accurately reflects the legal ownership position before any transaction proceeds. The 7/12 Extract is the most fundamental land record in Gujarat, and its accuracy is the foundation of every sound property transaction and revenue proceeding.
NA Permission and CLU
We provide end-to-end management of NA permission applications for the conversion of agricultural land to non-agricultural use: eligibility assessment, preparation of the complete application with all required supporting documents, representation at Collector hearings, and follow-up through to issuance of the NA Sanad. We also provide advisory and filing services for Change of Land Use applications under the Gujarat Town Planning and Urban Development Act.
Mutation and Property Card
We manage property mutation proceedings following every category of property transaction, from application filing through to issuance of the certified mutation order and the updated 7/12 Extract. An omitted mutation creates a break in the title chain that complicates every subsequent transaction and creates regulatory complications. We ensure this step is never overlooked.
Precision Conveyancing
Every property document we prepare is reviewed by a senior partner before execution. We maintain an extensive deed precedent library built over decades of Gujarat conveyancing practice. Every instrument precisely identifies the property, incorporates appropriate vendor warranties and purchaser indemnities, addresses stamp duty correctly, and is registered without procedural delay.
