Mutation is the process of transferring ownership of a property from the existing owner to the new owner. It's necessary to make property ownership legal and to avail of various government benefits.
To mutate a property after purchase, you can follow these steps
Visit the local municipal office or revenue department to get the mutation application form.
Provide the required details, such as the property's survey number, area, names of the old and new owners, and the reason for mutation.
Include the following documents with the application:
Sale deed
Gift deed
Will
Death certificate (if applicable)
Property tax receipts
Identity proofs
Passport-sized photographs of both the old and new owners
Submit the completed application form and required documents to the relevant revenue department or municipal office.
After the application is verified, local authorities will issue a public notice to invite objections. If no objections are received, the mutation will be recorded in the land revenue records
