What is Jaga Mojni? A Landowner's Guide to Land Measurement in Pune
If you own — or are about to buy — a plot in Pune or PCMC, you have almost certainly heard the term jaga mojni (जागा मोजणी). It simply means land measurement: precisely establishing where your plot's boundaries, corners and area actually lie on the ground.
Done properly, a jaga mojni protects you from encroachment, settles boundary disputes before they start, and gives banks, courts and municipal offices a document they can rely on.
When do you need a jaga mojni?
- Before buying a plot — to confirm the on-ground area matches the 7/12 / property card.
- Before fencing or construction — so your compound wall sits exactly on your boundary, not your neighbour's.
- During a boundary dispute — to produce a defensible, independent survey report.
- For loans and legal records — banks and registrars increasingly ask for a measured plan with coordinates.
What a professional survey involves
A modern jaga mojni is no longer done with a chain and tape. At Yogeshwar Associates we use a Total Station and DGPS to capture corner coordinates to centimetre accuracy, then cross-reference them against revenue records such as the 7/12 extract.
The result is repeatable: if anyone re-measures the same corners next year, they get the same numbers.
What you receive
- A boundary demarcation report
- Corner coordinates captured with DGPS
- A CAD drawing and PDF plan of the plot
- An area calculation statement
How long it takes
Most plot-level surveys are completed within 3–7 days of site access, including field work and the final drawings.
