When my uncle purchased a resale property, he hired a legal expert for the documentation verification. When the expert came to our home, I sat with my uncle to learn what all needs to be done. At that time, I learned about the mutation of property meaning. The expert said it, also known as “Dakhil Kharij.” When I asked what that meant, he said it meant updating government records to reflect a change in ownership of a property in India. I have shared more details on it below.
What is Property Mutation?
The expert explained it is the legal transfer of the property's title from the current owner to the new owner.
This process is important during purchasing of a property or after any transfer of property ownership because of sale, inheritance, gift, or any other means, as it allows the government to update its land and municipal records.
Mutation is necessary for paying property taxes under the new owner’s name and serves as legal proof of ownership in government records.
When a property is sold or transferred, the new owner must apply for mutation at the local municipal or revenue office. You may need to submit the sale deed (or other proof of ownership transfer), previous owner’s details, ID proof, and NOC if applicable.
The authorities verify the documents, and if approved, the new owner’s name will be updated on the property records. Depending on the location, the mutation process may involve a nominal fee.
While a mutation certificate itself does not confer legal ownership, it is essential for paying property taxes and getting utility connections.
Updated mutation records serve as a record of ownership, helping to resolve disputes and aiding in the buying or selling of property in the future.
He further said property mutation can be categorised into two types: mutation for agricultural land, which is overseen by the local revenue office, and mutation for non-agricultural or urban properties managed by the municipal authority.
I hope you understood what is mutation of property.
