Caveats

• —Display-grade, not survey-grade. Bbox geometry comes from getExtentGeoref; some talukas have polygons from WMS vectorization (geom_kind).
• —Rural parcels only (Category R). Urban and non-georeferenced villages omitted.
• —No chain of title. Geometry and survey metadata only.
• —Not for legal title transfer. Verify with official 7/12 extracts.
