A farmer from Solapur discovered that his father’s name on the 7/12 उतारा (Satbara Utara) was spelled “Ramesh” instead of “Rameshwar” — a small clerical error made decades ago. When he tried to apply for a bank loan using this land as collateral, the bank flagged the mismatch with his Aadhaar card and refused to proceed.
Earlier, fixing this meant multiple visits to the तलाठी (Talathi) office and weeks of follow-up. In 2026, most of this can now be started online through the e-Haqq portal — without repeated trips to the village office.
💡 Quick Answer: Portal: bhulekh.mahabhumi.gov.in → e-Haqq section For: Spelling errors, name mismatches, minor factual corrections on 7/12 Legal basis: Section 155 (कलम १५५ / Kalam 155) of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code Who approves: Talathi verifies → Circle Officer (मंडळ अधिकारी / Mandal Adhikari) approves Timeline: Typically 30-60 days for straightforward corrections
What Is the e-Haqq Portal
e-Haqq is the online correction and rights-management module within Maharashtra’s Mahabhulekh system, accessible through bhulekh.mahabhumi.gov.in. It allows landowners to apply for changes to the 7/12 record without necessarily starting with an in-person Talathi office visit — covering corrections (दुरुस्ती), mutations (फेरफार / Ferfar), and rights updates (हक्क नोंदणी) in one digital window.
This is different from a full Mutation (फेरफार), which updates ownership after a sale, inheritance, or gift. e-Haqq’s correction feature is specifically meant for fixing errors in an existing record — spelling mistakes, wrong survey numbers, incorrect area figures, and similar factual corrections.
When a Correction Is Needed — Common Cases
- Spelling mismatch — the name (नाव) on the 7/12 doesn’t match Aadhaar or other ID documents
- Wrong survey/gat number (गट नंबर) — a clerical error from years ago
- Incorrect area (क्षेत्र) — the recorded area doesn’t match the actual measured land
- Father’s/husband’s name missing or wrong
- Old records carrying outdated details that were never updated during digitization
Important distinction: If a name is completely missing because of an unrecorded sale, inheritance, or gift, that’s a Mutation (फेरफार) case, not a correction. Correction fixes an existing but inaccurate entry — this is what’s usually searched as “7/12 नावातील चूक दुरुस्ती अर्ज.”
Applying for Correction Through e-Haqq — Step by Step
Step 1: Go to bhulekh.mahabhumi.gov.in
Step 2: Log in or register with a mobile number and OTP
Step 3: Select “e-Haqq” from the services menu
Step 4: Choose “Correction Application” (दुरुस्ती अर्ज)
Step 5: Enter the land details — Division, District, Taluka, Village, Survey/Gat Number (गट क्रमांक)
Step 6: Clearly describe the error — what’s currently shown, and what it should be
Step 7: Upload supporting documents:
- Existing 7/12 extract (showing the error)
- Aadhaar Card or other ID proof (showing the correct spelling/detail)
- Any old record or document supporting the correction
Step 8: Submit — note the application reference number (अर्ज क्रमांक)
Step 9: The application routes to the village Talathi for verification, then to the Circle Officer (मंडळ अधिकारी) for final approval
Kalam 155 (कलम १५५) — The Legal Basis for Correction
Section 155 (कलम १५५) of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code is the specific legal provision that empowers revenue officers to correct clerical or factual errors in land records — this is the law behind most 7/12 दुरुस्ती (correction) applications.
When Kalam 155 applies:
- Clerical/typing errors made during data entry or digitization
- Errors that don’t involve a change of ownership (that would be a mutation, not a Section 155 correction)
- Corrections that are largely undisputed and factual in nature
Filling Out a Kalam 155 Application
If applying offline, or preparing documents to support an online application, a कलम १५५ अर्ज (Kalam 155 application) typically includes:
- Applicant’s name, address, and contact details
- Survey/Gat number and village details
- A clear statement of the error (current entry vs. correct entry)
- Reason for the error, if known (for example, a typing mistake during digitization)
- List of supporting documents attached
- Signature and date
Many Talathi and Tehsil offices provide a printed Kalam 155 format PDF — the same structure can also be drafted independently if a printed copy isn’t available locally.
Correction vs Mutation (फेरफार) — Key Differences
This is one of the most common points of confusion:
| Correction (कलम १५५ / Kalam 155) | Mutation (फेरफार / Ferfar) | |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Fix an existing error in the record | Update ownership after sale/inheritance/gift |
| Ownership change? | No | Yes |
| Legal basis | Section 155, Maharashtra Land Revenue Code | Standard mutation process |
| Typical documents | ID proof, old records | Sale Deed (खरेदीखत), inheritance documents, Aadhaar |
| Where applied | e-Haqq → Correction Application (दुरुस्ती अर्ज) | e-Haqq → Ferfar Application |
For the full mutation process, see our Mahabhulekh Maharashtra guide, which covers 7/12, 8A, Digital Satbara, and Mutation status checks in detail.
How Long Correction Takes
| Stage | Typical Duration |
|---|---|
| Talathi verification | 7-15 days |
| Circle Officer (मंडळ अधिकारी) approval | 15-30 days |
| Total (straightforward cases) | 30-60 days |
| Disputed/complex corrections | Can take longer, may require a hearing |
If a correction is contested by another party — for example, a boundary or ownership-adjacent dispute — it may be referred to a formal hearing rather than processed as a simple administrative correction.
Common Problems + Fix
Problem 1: Application stuck at “Talathi verification pending” for a long time
Fix: Visit the village Talathi office in person with the application reference number and supporting documents — sometimes physical verification is needed and can’t be completed purely online.
Problem 2: Correction request rejected without clear reason
Fix: Request written reasons for rejection from the Talathi/Circle Officer. If the correction is genuinely factual and well-documented, reapply with additional supporting evidence, or escalate to the Tehsildar.
Problem 3: Confusion between correction and mutation applications
Fix: If ownership itself needs to change (due to sale, inheritance, or gift), file a Mutation (फेरफार) application instead — not a Section 155 correction. Mixing the two often leads to rejection.
Problem 4: Old documents not available to prove the correct spelling/detail
Fix: Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, old ration cards, or any government-issued ID showing the correct spelling can typically be used as supporting evidence.
