Mutation means change of rights. Any change in right in land record is done only through mutation. For this purpose, a register with two copies is maintained which is called the mutation register.

In such cases, where the rights are changed by way of registration ,it becomes the duty of the patwari to enter the mutation within one month after receipt of the concerned registry from the Tehsil. The beneficiary, at his own level, can get the mutation done by showing the original deed in such cases.

In case of mutations like ancestral, exchange, transfer, the registration deed is not necessary . Such cases of the mutation of transfer rights must be got entered within three months with the patwari but in the transfer cases of such a land which falls in the boundaries/ limitations of Municipal Corporations, there is a need of registration of transfer deed by the concerned party.

No document/paper is received from the Tehsil with regard to the hereditry and family exchanges and the same must be got executed within three months by the parties by personally visiting the patwari concerned.

There is not any fixed time for getting entry of mutation done. But it is necessary to report to the patwari within three months regarding change of land rights failing which 5 times penalty of mutation can be imposed on the beneficiary.
