Mutation
Mutating a property is a mandatory process in all legal transactions involving the property. Mutation becomes essential for deciding the tax liability when the property ownership gets changed. One needs to get mutation done and get the new owner details updated in the revenue records maintained by civic bodies like Municipalities, Panchayats or Municipal Corporations. Through mutation of land, a person can acquire the rights of the land. To avoid the controversy over the ownership of the land, the mutation is worked out by both the parties, i.e. buyer and seller.
