 +====== Property mutation rejected — recovery guide (2026) ======
 +
 +{{:social:auto:rejection-recovery-property-mutation-rejected.png?direct&1200 |Property mutation rejected — recovery guide (2026) — RTI Wiki}}
 +
 +<WRAP info>
 +**Quick answer:** Mutation rejection happens when: **(1) Title disputed** (multiple claimants); **(2) Sale deed not registered** (unregistered = void); **(3) Legal heir NOC missing** (inheritance cases); **(4) Property tax dues** (clear before mutation); **(5) Patwari's field report contests possession**. **Appeal to SDM (rural) / Asstt Commissioner (urban) within 30 days**. RTI for Patwari's field report.
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +===== Top reasons for rejection =====
 +  * **Title disputed** — multiple legal heirs. Need succession cert / partition deed.
 +  * **Sale deed unregistered** — register at Sub-Registrar first; mutation only on registered.
 +  * **Legal heir NOC missing** — siblings of deceased haven't signed.
 +  * **Property tax dues** — clear all dues before mutation.
 +  * **Patwari's adverse report** — physical possession ≠ documentary owner.
 +
 +===== 7-step recovery checklist =====
 +  - **Get rejection order** — Tehsildar / Asstt Commissioner must issue written rejection. RTI for noting if verbal.
 +  - **If sale deed unregistered** — Register at Sub-Registrar (stamp duty + 1% reg fee). Then re-apply mutation.
 +  - **If title disputed (inheritance)** — Get succession certificate from district court (3-6 months) OR family settlement deed signed by all legal heirs (faster).
 +  - **If legal heir NOC missing** — Get NOCs from all legal heirs on Rs 100 stamp paper. If contested: court order required.
 +  - **Clear property tax dues** — Pay all pending years; get NOC from municipal corporation; resubmit mutation.
 +  - **Counter Patwari's adverse report** — Submit your possession proofs: utility bills in your name, society/RWA confirmation, neighbours' affidavit.
 +  - **Appeal to SDM / Asstt Commissioner** — Within 30 days. Free. Cite state Land Revenue Code / Municipal Act.
 +  - **Further appeal: DM → Revenue Tribunal** — If SDM rejects. Last admin remedy before HC.
 +
 +===== Appeal route, window, and fee =====
 +  * **Statutory appeal route:** State Revenue Code: Tehsildar → SDM → DM → Revenue Tribunal → HC writ.
 +  * **Appeal window:** 30 days at each level
 +  * **Fee:** Free for mutation appeal. Sale deed registration: 5-7% stamp duty + 1% registration. Succession cert: court fee 1-3% of property value.
 +
 +===== Documents to fix or upgrade =====
 +  * Registered sale deed / partition deed / succession cert
 +  * Property tax NOC (all dues paid)
 +  * Legal heir NOCs (all heirs signed)
 +  * Possession proofs (utility bills + RWA confirmation)
 +
 +===== File an RTI in parallel — most rejections clear within 15 days =====
 +
 +Government rejection orders often lack actual rationale. RTI brings out the file noting + officer name + actual basis — and that visibility usually resolves the case. Use this template:
 +
 +<code>
 +1. Copy of the rejection order + complete file noting on application no. _____ dated _____.
 +2. Name + designation of the officer who took the rejection decision.
 +3. Specific Section / Rule / Circular under which rejection was made + supporting evidence relied upon.
 +4. Number of similar applications in the past 12 months that were (a) approved, (b) rejected — for the same officer.
 +5. The procedure + timeline for filing an appeal + the office of the appellate authority.

 +
 +===== Frequently asked questions =====
 +==== Sale deed registered but mutation rejected. Why? ====
 +Most common: property tax dues OR Patwari's field report disputes possession. Counter both.
 +
 +==== Inheritance — no Will + heirs disputing. Mutation possible? ====
 +Only after court succession cert OR family settlement deed. Without consent of all heirs: rejected.
 +
 +==== Patwari demanded bribe. Bypass? ====
 +File ACB complaint + RTI. Many states now have e-mutation (no Patwari interface) — Bhulekh online.
 +
 +==== Mutation reverses ownership? Or reflects? ====
 +Reflects — mutation doesn't create ownership (sale deed does). But without mutation, future sale + tax + utility transfer blocked.
 +
 +==== SDM appeal stuck > 60 days. Force? ====
 +RTI to SDM for file noting. State RTPS deemed-disposal clause may apply. HC writ for systemic delay.
 +
 +===== Summary + what to do next =====
 +
 +<WRAP center round tip 90%>
 +**Bottom line:** Don't accept a rejection at face value — request the file noting via RTI, fix the underlying document gap, and file the statutory appeal within 30 days at each level. Most rejections reverse with corrected documents.
