Apply to Tehsildar / Municipal Revenue Officer. Documents vary by mode of transfer (sale, inheritance, gift, partition). Statutory disposal 45-90 days under state Revenue Codes. Fee Rs. 50-500 (state-specific).</WRAP>

	+
	+	{{page>snippets:dpdp-banner}}
	+
	+	<WRAP info>Direct answer. Property mutation (also called dakhil-kharij, namantaran, khata transfer) updates the revenue/municipal record after change of ownership.
