Mutation, called dakhil kharij in Uttar Pradesh, updates the revenue records (Khatauni) to show the new owner after a sale, gift or inheritance.

When is mutation needed?

  • After you buy land through registry
  • After the death of the recorded owner (succession / varasat)
  • After a gift deed or family partition

Step-by-step process

  1. Apply online on the UP Bhulekh / revenue court portal or at the tehsil with the registry copy.
  2. The Lekhpal verifies and submits a report.
  3. A public notice is issued so objections can be filed (usually 30-45 days).
  4. If no objection, the Tehsildar passes the mutation order.
  5. The Khatauni is updated with your name.

Documents

  • Certified copy of registry
  • Aadhaar of applicant
  • Death certificate and family register (for varasat)

Common problems

  • Objections from relatives
  • Area mismatch between registry and records
  • Old registries without khasra numbers
Mutation pending? You can still submit your land. We guide owners through dakhil kharij as part of our purchase process.
