1. Porcha ir record of rights is only required for paying khajna and it only presumes title.

2. If you have valid title deed then change of name in porcha is not compulsory.

3. However if you have no immediate plans to sell the land then apply for change of name.

1) mutation of land should be done in revenue records

2) although seller is absolute owner of land mutation is necessary so that property tax bills can be raised in his name

3) any purchaser would insist that revenue records reflect purchaser name

Literally Danga means an non agricultural high land .

You can apply for conversion of this 'danga' land to 'bastu' if you would like to construct a house or raise any structure on the land.

But there is no restriction to sell the property.

However you may apply for transferring the revenue records (porcha) to your name before selling the property..
