Mutation Application (Nam Pattan): Update Land Ownership Record

Land Mutation, locally known as "Nam Pattan" in West Bengal, is the vital process of transferring the title of ownership in the official land records. Whenever a property is bought, sold, gifted, or inherited, the new owner must apply for mutation to replace the previous owner's name in the government records.

Without a successful mutation, the new owner cannot pay land revenue (Khajna) in their name, nor can they legally claim complete ownership during disputes or sales.

Required Documents for Mutation

Before applying, ensure you have scanned copies of these documents (PDF format, under 2MB):

  • Registered Deed: The sale deed or gift deed proving transfer.
  • Legal Heir Certificate: In case of mutation due to inheritance (Varish).
  • Chain Deeds: Previous deeds if applicable.
  • Payment Receipt: Receipt of the latest land revenue payment.
  • Declaration: Self-declaration in the prescribed format.
