Understanding the Mojani process in Maharashtra

Understand official land measurement, e-Mojani applications, CAN and MRN references, and how a private survey can support your preparation.

The useful starting point

Start with the correct land record and the purpose of measurement. Official Mojani is handled through the Land Records Department; a private survey supports preparation and site understanding.

Start with the official route

Mojani means measurement. For official land measurement in Maharashtra, use the Land Records Department’s services. Mahabhumi links to e-Mojani and to records such as 7/12 extracts, property cards and maps. Begin from the official portal so you use the current service for your location.

Keep the application references

The department distinguishes the Citizen Application Number (CAN), which acknowledges a submitted application, from the Mojni Register Number (MRN), assigned after the relevant office checks and accepts it. If an application is returned for corrections, review the issue in your login and supply the requested information.

Prepare a useful document folder

Before seeking help, identify the village, taluka, district and survey, Gat or CTS number. Keep readable copies of the records you hold. The following is a preparation list, not a substitute for the portal’s document requirements.

  • Current 7/12 extract or property card, as applicable to the land.
  • Available village map, earlier measurement plan and relevant deed or layout references.
  • Applicant contact details, application references and correspondence already received.
  • A short explanation of the purpose and the area or boundary that needs attention.

After the measurement

The department’s FAQ says the measurement map, or K-prat, becomes available online after the process is complete and can be downloaded with a digital signature. Retain the issued record and correspondence together. Ask the relevant office about any discrepancy or clarification you need.

How a private survey helps

A private survey can record existing features, measure levels and prepare a site plan for your technical team. Ask explicitly whether your requirement is a design survey, a boundary comparison or an official measurement application. Each has a different purpose. Fees, scheduling and decisions for official measurement remain with the department; confirm them against your application.

This guide provides general survey information. Official requirements depend on the property, project and authority. Use the linked government resources for current procedures and seek appropriate professional advice for your case.
