What is Village Form 8A (Khatiyan)?
Under the Gujarat Land Revenue Code (1879), village land administration maintains a tri-fold record system at the Talati office:
“` +—————————————————————————————————-+

+—————————————————————————————————-+ “`
Key Differences: Form 7/12 vs Form 8A
| Feature | Form 7/12 (Satbara Utara) | Form 8A (Khatiyan / Khata Book) |
|---|---|---|
| **Primary Index Key** | Indexed by **Survey Number / Block Number** | Indexed by **Khata Number (Account No.)** |
| **Scope of Document** | Shows details of one specific geographic land parcel | Lists **all land parcels** owned by a person/family in that village |

- Town Planning Scheme (TP) Pooling Verification:
- Detection of Hidden Joint Co-Sharers:
- Prevention of Ceiling Act Violations:
- Verification of Non-Agricultural (NA) Assessment:

Legal Diligence Checklist: What to Cross-Check Before Purchase
Before paying token money or signing a registered Agreement to Sell (Satakhat) for land in Dholera:
- [ ] Cross-Khata Ownership: Check whether all Survey Numbers listed in Form 8A are free from attachment orders or pending civil litigations.
- [ ] Minor or Deceased Co-Owners: If a name appearing on Form 8A belongs to a deceased ancestor, ensure an Amal (Pedi-Nama / Succession Heirship Entry) has been executed via Form 6.
- [ ] Collector NA NOC Matching: If purchasing a NA-converted plot, verify that the specific Survey Number has been severed from agricultural Form 8A and reassigned to non-agricultural commercial or residential assessment.
- [ ] DSIRDA Town Planning Reconstitution: Verify that the survey number has been formally mapped to a Final Plot (FP) with an approved DSIRDA development permission.
Statutory Land Investment & Valuation Disclaimer
> [!NOTE] > Land prices across Dholera Special Investment Region vary dynamically based on Town Planning (TP) scheme allocation, Final Plot (FP) zoning (Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Knowledge & IT), road width (18m, 30m, 55m, 70m), and utility duct proximity. All transactions must be cross-verified against official Gujarat Revenue Department Jantri circle rates and DSIRDA development control regulations.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
#### What is Village Form 8A on the Gujarat AnyROR portal?
Village Form 8A (ગામ નમૂનો ૮-અ), commonly known as the Khatiyan or Khata Book, is an official land record maintained by the Gujarat Revenue Department that lists all agricultural land parcels, survey numbers, total area, and assessed revenue owned by a specific person or family under one account number in a village.
#### Is a digitally downloaded Form 8A from AnyROR valid for property registration?
The standard Form 8A downloaded from AnyROR is an authentic informational copy suitable for initial legal due diligence. However, for executing a registered sale deed (Dastawez) at the Sub-Registrar Office, you must obtain an official, digitally signed, QR-code stamped certified copy from the e-Dhara Kendra or Jan Seva Kendra.
#### Can I find the Khata number if I only have the plot’s Survey Number?
Yes. Open the 7/12 (Satbara) extract for that specific survey number on AnyROR. The top header of the 7/12 document explicitly displays the associated Khata Number (ખાતા નંબર), which you can then enter into the Form 8A search module.
#### What should I do if a deceased person’s name is still on Form 8A?
If a registered khatedar on Form 8A is deceased, the legal heirs must complete the succession mutation process (Varsai / Pedhinama) through the local Talati and Mamlatdar office under Form 6 before entering into any valid, unencumbered agreement to sell.
