Mutation, also called dakhil kharij, updates the revenue or municipal records to show the new owner. It is separate from registering the deed.
Why it matters
Without mutation, tax receipts, utility bills and future sales can become difficult, and disputes are easier to raise.
When it is needed
After a purchase, gift, inheritance or family settlement.
What you usually need
The registered deed or succession papers, identity proof, latest tax receipts and the application in the local office’s format.
