What is Mutation (Dakhil-Kharij)?

Updating the khatauni after a sale, gift or inheritance.

Registration changes ownership; mutation changes the record. Dakhil-kharij ('enter-remove') is the process where the tehsil enters the buyer's name and removes the seller's in the khatauni after verifying the deed. Skipping mutation is how families end up with land still recorded in a grandfather's name.
