By Jaiprime Research Desk · Reviewed by Rishabh GargUpdated Mutation, or namantaran, records a new owner's name in the land revenue records after a sale, inheritance or gift. For agricultural and revenue land it is done through the tehsil and visible on Apna Khata; for urban plots in JDA colonies, the name is transferred in JDA's records. Do it promptly after registration.
Registration transfers ownership. Mutation updates the records that everyone else checks. Without it, the old owner still appears on the jamabandi or in JDA records, which causes problems at resale, for loans and for tax.
| Property | Where the name changes |
|---|---|
| Agricultural / revenue land | Tehsil (mutation in land records; visible on Apna Khata) |
| Urban plot in a JDA scheme or regularised colony | JDA (name transfer) |
| Flat | Society, developer and local body records |
