Real estate transactions could be more convenient in India. Much procedural work goes in before the deal is sealed – heavy paperwork, verification checks, various legal protocols, etc. Further, what adds more to the grief is that such rules vary from state to state. Indeed, there are many ways to transfer property, but what remains constant through it all is the registration process, followed by the mutation process in Rajasthan.
From a buyer’s perspective, it is evident that the property they expect to purchase has a reasonable and undisputed title. The onus to confirm the title of the property is on the buyer. Therefore, they must ensure land records/municipal records where all the previous exchanges identified with the property title are appropriately recorded. It is conceivable if mutation is done tenaciously.
Indeed, documents like registered sale deeds, land records, property tax receipts, etc, serve as proof of registration. Still, the mutation of property in Rajasthan ensures that the same is recorded with the local authorities.
Mutation, as such, is not a legally binding process, but it is an essential consideration in terms of it serving as proof of possession, imposition of tax liabilities by the concerned authorities, solving land-related disputes at the local level, etc.
Mutation of Land in Rajasthan
Mutation in Rajasthan, also termed ‘Dakhil Kharij,’ is recording the change or transfer in the title of ownership after the property is transferred or sold. Once the mutation of property in Rajasthan is done, the same is recorded in the land revenue department, which eventually helps the authorities fixate on the tax liability.
The process of mutation in Rajasthan is not a one-time affair. It should ideally be done every 6 months to ensure that no fraudulent transactions concerning the property are being given effect.
Mutation is required every time a change/transfer of ownership is given effect. The same could be done in the following ways:
- Sale/purchase of property – In such a case, the documents that would be required are a copy of the registered sale deed, application for mutation with the court fee stamp, latest property tax clearance documents, indemnity bond on stamp paper, etc.
- Inheritance of property (intestate succession or through a will) – A copy of the death certificate, documents establishing the relationship between the deceased and the claimant, a copy of the will, property tax clearance documents, etc, would suffice.
- Power of attorney – In the concerned case, the mutation documents would be a copy of the power of attorney papers, affidavit, indemnity on stamp paper, property tax clearance documents, etc. The value of stamp paper in the instances above would vary.
Types of Mutation in Rajasthan
Mutation is of two types:
Mutation of Agricultural land
In the case of agricultural lands, unlike non-agricultural lands, it has a bearing on the title of ownership. The transfer of ownership will be regarded as legal once and if the mutation process in Rajasthan is duly completed and the same is recorded in the revenue records. If the Government acquires the concerned piece of land, compensation is given to only those whose names are registered in the records.
Mutation of Non-agricultural land
In such a case, the non-mutation of land will not have a bearing on the property’s title. It will affect the owner’s liability to pay municipal tax and may even tamper with their water supply and electricity connection. Examples of non-agricultural lands are independent houses, flats, residential complexes, etc.
Mutation Process in Rajasthan
The Mutation process starts with submitting the application for mutation with the area’s Tehsildar, along with a non-judicial stamp paper of the required value. The documents above, too, need to be submitted as per the case. Once this is done, a proclamation asking for objections to the proposed mutation is issued, stipulating the last date for such objections.
The parties’ statements are also noted and matched with the submitted documents’ contents to look for discrepancies. If no discrepancy or objection is found, the proposed mutation is passed.
If any objection is received or a discrepancy is found, the matter is referred to the area’s Revenue Assistant, and the particulars of the objections are duly noted. If the concerned parties are unsatisfied with the order, an appeal is filed before the Additional Collector (the concerned Deputy Commissioner) within 30 days of the concerned order. This is a generic procedure, as the intricacies of the process and documents vary from one state to another.

Property Muatation vs. Registration
Even though they appear to be similar processes, property mutation and registration differ.
Property registration is the process through which property gets transferred in the buyer’s name after the payment of stamp duty and registration charges. At the same time, the property mutation process takes place after this formality, typically after a year or so.
While a property is registered by executing the sale deed after the buyer and the seller reach a consensus, property mutation occurs after the transaction. The property mutation process is basically a buyer’s responsibility, wherein the buyer gets his newly owned asset updated in his name in the local revenue office.
Documents Required for Mutation of Property
Documents required to complete the mutation process vary from state to state. However, a buyer must submit the following:
- Correctly filled out the property mutation application form
- Copy of the sale/title deed
- Affidavit on stamp papers
- Indemnity bond
- Copy of Aadhaar Card
- Property tax receipts
- Copy of will succession certificate or death certificate of the owner (if applicable)
In case of Will
In addition to all the documents mentioned above, the following documents also need to be submitted for the land mutation in case of the will of a property:
- Death Certificate
- Legal Heir Certificate
- Succession Certificate
Importance of Property Mutation
The new owner gets the revenue records in his name by mutating the property. The mutated land details are updated in Rajasthan revenue records (Jamabandi) and mutation register (P-21) maintained by the State government. The land mutation application is processed by Patwari or Grama Panchayat in Rajasthan.
The importance of the mutation document is mentioned below:
- While selling property, the seller must provide a mutation document to the buyer for verification
- It acts as ownership proof for land
- It helps in identifying the property tax liabilities
