Mutation of Property (Pokkuvaravu) - Kerala, India Land Purchase and Registration

Mutation of property (Pookuvaravu in Malayalam) is the process of recording the transfer of title of a property from one person to another, in the records of the Revenue Department.

The mutation in the revenue/local civic body records is for the purpose of payment of property taxes and it does not mean a legal title to the person to whom the property has been mutated.
The procedure, documentation required and the fees payable varies from State to State.

However, generally, the procedure includes an application on a plain paper, along with non-judicial stamp of relevant value, containing some information. In Kerala, it is to be submitted to Village Officer of the locality under which the property falls. Typically the following documents may be requried

a. Title deed
b. Location and sketch of the plot
c. Encumbrance certificate
d. Tax receipt in the buyer's name.

To effect the mutation the buyer must pay the tax in his name after the sale is registered.
