The abbreviation "CH" on the property card, here in Maharashtra, stands for "City Holding." It designates the holding as urban area land under the control of local authorities. The property card is an important document serving as evidence regarding the ownership and associated details, including survey numbers and area of the holding; it may be encumbered. Such documentation is required when proving ownership and to pursue legal remedies in the matter of a property dispute. This helps to identify the status and classification of urban properties within Maharashtra's land revenue system, thereby giving a clearer picture of ownership rights and responsibilities.

In Maharashtra, CH in the property card denotes "City Holding." This merely means that the property lies within the city and finds a place in the records of survey of the city. The property card can also be used as a piece of document that provides elementary details pertaining to the ownership, survey number, area, place, or encumbrance in the title. This helps in proving ownership and is very important in legal matters concerning issues involving disputes over land property. Through this knowledge, one may establish the status and category of the urban property in the state's land revenue system.

Sir, in Maharashtra, the term "CH" on a property card stands for "Chawl" or "Chawl Housing". This designation typically refers to a type of housing structure that is common in urban areas, particularly in Mumbai and other metropolitan cities. It is advised to consult an expert property lawyer or local municipal authorities to understand the full implications of the "CH" designation on your property card, particularly if you are considering any transactions like buying, selling, or modifying the property.
