When the name entry for revenue collection purposes is changed from one person to another due to transfer of ownership, the process is known as property/land mutation. However, mutation entries of revenue records do not create or extinguish title over the land, and such entries do not have any presumptive value on the title of such land.
Since land is a state tax in India, states have the power to charge a fee for providing this service. In this guide, we will learn about the property and land mutation fee in Himachal Pradesh.
