Frequently Asked Questions

No. Mutation (Dakhil-Kharij) is an administrative fiscal entry for tax collection purposes and does not create or extinguish proprietary ownership title, which is determined exclusively by registered title deeds and civil court decrees.

An aggrieved party can file written objections before the Tehsildar, or prefer a statutory Revenue Appeal before the Sub-Divisional Magistrate / SDO within the limitation period.

Co-tenure holders must file a partition suit under Section 116 of the applicable land revenue code before the SDO court to obtain a preliminary decree, followed by formal preparation of lots (Kurras) and final decree.
