Nizam's own estate called “Sarf-e-Khas” comprising two talukas was merged with the Government area under Sarf-e-Khas (Merger) Regulation of 1949. Consequent upon the integration of Jagirs and Sarf-e-Khas areas, all the taluka boundaries were reconstituted in April 1950. Two new Mahals (Tahsils) with headquarters at Jafferabad were created. In 1953 another new mahal (tahsil) with headquarters at Soegaon was created by transferring 37 villages from Sillod taluka and 30 from Kannad taluka. All the villages transferred to this mahal are situated to the north of the Satmala hills.
