Why you need it

When you need it

You've bought Punjab land, the sale deed is registered, but the jamabandi still names the seller — registration passes title, it doesn't move the revenue record. Until mutation (intkal) is attested, the seller stays liable for revenue and you'll struggle with a loan, a Kisan Credit Card, a crop-damage payment, a tubewell/electricity connection, or a clean fard for resale. This is the section 34, PLRA report, addressed to the Circle Revenue Officer via the Halqa Patwari — or online ('Mutation on the basis of Deed' at jamabandi.punjab.gov.in) or at a Fard Kendra/Sewa Kendra. In a clean transaction it should open automatically (the Sub-Registrar sends a Parcha Yadasht to the Kanungo chain, and Easy Jamabandi promises 30 days from registration) — file this when it hasn't opened, the Parcha Yadasht can't be traced, the record is in a dead person's name, or simply to put your own report on file. You have three months to report (s.34(1)); missing it isn't fatal but risks a fine up to 5x the mutation fee (s.39, up to Rs 3,000 on the current Rs 600 fee). Don't use this: to correct a jamabandi entry (para 7.30 bars using a mutation for that — use a fard badar); for an inheritance (a different report, intkal-e-warasat); on anything short of a REGISTERED sale deed (an agreement to sell, GPA or will-with-possession won't sustain it — Suraj Lamp & Industries v. State of Haryana); for a GMADA/GLADA-type allotment (no jamabandi); for a municipal tax record; or for Chandigarh sector property (an Estate Office file, no jamabandi) — though Chandigarh's own revenue villages DO keep a jamabandi under a different administration and fee schedule, so don't file this Punjab form there either. Before filing, check the ownership column of the fard: an entry reading Jumla Malkan, Mushtarka Malkan, or similar is shamilat deh, vesting in the Panchayat — nobody could have sold it to you, and swearing otherwise is a false affidavit. If the record stands in a dead person's name, you must be able to account for every other heir's share (sole heir, sold only his share, a registered relinquishment or family settlement, a separate registered sale to the vendor, or the heirs joining as co-vendors) — if none fits (a minor heir, a disputed succession, a will, Muslim personal law shares), stop and get the inheritance mutation settled first. And a lal-dora house with no khewat or khasra number at all isn't a mutation case — that's the property-card route under Mera Ghar Mere Naam. A mutation is a fiscal/record entry only — presumed true until disproved (s.44), but it doesn't create, prove or extinguish title (Sawarni v. Inder Kaur). Your title is the registered deed; the mutation just makes it visible in the record.

What follows is written for Punjab. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

Stamp duty

No ad valorem stamp duty on this report — it's a report of acquisition, not a conveyance; that duty was already paid when the sale deed itself was stamped and registered (5% + 1% cess, plus registration/PIDB/facilitation charges, on the Punjab table). What THIS report costs is the mutation fee: Rs 600 ('wherever required'), recovered from YOU, the buyer, at attestation (not at filing) under s.38(2)/para 7.33 — a separate fee applies per partition holding or shamilat. Miss the 3-month reporting window and the Collector can fine up to 5x that fee. No court fee is prescribed, though a counter may ask a small local one — get the schedule entry in writing if so. If an affidavit is wanted, its stamp-paper denomination isn't officially sourced — ask the counter. None of this applies in Chandigarh: sector property has no jamabandi to mutate at all, and Chandigarh's own revenue villages run a different administration's fees entirely.

Registration

Not registrable — a mutation report isn't an instrument of transfer, outside section 17, Registration Act, 1908. What happens is a case, not a document: the Patwari's register entry, Field Kanungo validation, and an attestation order with an intkal number. The underlying SALE DEED must already be registered — that's what starts the process (the Sub-Registrar's Parcha Yadasht feeds the Kanungo chain). A mutation cannot be built on anything less than a registered deed, and cannot be used to fix a jamabandi entry (para 7.30) — that's a fard badar instead. A mutation finalised by 15 June goes into that year's jamabandi (para 7.56); otherwise it's still valid from its order date, just not yet in print.

Notarisation

The report/application itself needs no notarisation. An affidavit MAY be wanted — many Punjab counters for a straightforward deed-based mutation skip it, since the registered deed and the Patwari/Kanungo reports already supply the proof. Where the record stands in a dead person's name and succession must be entered first, an affidavit plus the pedigree table and death certificate is usually required. Where wanted, swear it before a Notary Public or Oath Commissioner, and check the register entry number is written on it. Two purchasers need two separate affidavits, each on its own paper — they can't share one. Filing online substitutes OTP identification for part of this.

Witnesses

No attesting witnesses required — not a deed. The safeguard is the mutation procedure itself: the Patwari's register entry and rapat, Field Kanungo validation, and notice to the vendor and everyone else interested in the khewat (with customary village announcement) before the officer attests under section 34. Identification (shanakht) by the lambardar or a panch is customary, not statutory. Both purchasers sign where the deed names two; an attorney signs with the power of attorney produced in original before the Patwari and the officer. Don't let a family member sign for an absent buyer without one — a mutation attested on an unauthorised signature can be set aside.

Parcha Yadasht received from the Sub-Registrar: Parcha Yadasht No. 218 dated 14.05.2026, received by the Office Kanungo

Respected Sir / Madam,

1. The applicant

I, X, son of Sardar Gurdial Singh, aged about 25,000 years, by occupation agriculturist, resident of X, mobile X, Aadhaar ending 4321, respectfully submit as follows.

Joint applicant. This report and application is made jointly with X, X, aged about 25,000 years, resident of X, who is a joint vendee under the same sale deed. Wherever this application says "the applicant", it means both of us jointly, and the mutation is prayed to be attested in both names.

Filed through an attorney. This application is signed and presented on the applicant's behalf by X, duly authorised under a power of attorney — registered SPA No. 1147 dated 12.03.2026, Sub-Registrar, Kharar — a copy of which is enclosed and the original of which will be produced before the Halqa Patwari and before this Court for inspection.

Nature of the landAgricultural land, chahi (well-irrigated)
Record relied onJamabandi for 2021-2022

The revenue estate bears Hadbast No. Hadbast No. 213.
The holding is entered at Khatauni No. Khatauni No. 486.
The land falls in Patwar Circle Patwar Circle Landran.
The share purchased is: 1/4 share out of 1/2 share of the vendor, equally between both applicants.
The property purchased is bounded as follows — North: killa No. 21//13 of Sardar Jagtar Singh; South: village link road; East: khal (water course); West: killa No. 21//16.

3. In whose name the land stands in the jamabandi today

The jamabandi for 2021-2022 does not stand in the applicant's name. As per the enclosed fard / nakal of that jamabandi, the said land stands recorded in the ownership column in the name of X. The applicant purchased the said land from X, X, resident of X (hereinafter "the vendor"). A copy of that fard is enclosed.

The recorded owner is dead and the succession was never entered. The late X, in whose name the ownership column continues to stand, died on 1 April 2026. The vendor succeeded to the said land on that death — the vendor is the only son of the deceased. Mutation of inheritance (intkal-e-warasat) in favour of the legal heirs was never entered or attested, which is why the jamabandi still stands in the name of a deceased person and not in the name of the vendor.

The surviving legal heirs of the deceased, as shown by the pedigree table (shajra nasab), are: 1. Smt. Harbans Kaur, widow, 68 years; 2. Sardar Mahinder Singh, son, 44 years; 3. Smt. Sukhwinder Kaur, daughter, 41 years. No heir has been left out, and the applicant undertakes to produce the death certificate and the pedigree table in support.

What devolved on the vendor, and what became of the shares of the other heirs. On that death there devolved on the vendor a 1/3rd share in the said khewat, being one of three surviving heirs. As to the shares of the other legal heirs, the position is this. The deceased left no other heir. The vendor was the sole surviving legal heir and the whole of the said land devolved on him alone. The particulars are — registered Relinquishment Deed No. 2287 dated 09.01.2026, Sub-Registrar, Kharar, a copy of which is enclosed and the original of which will be produced. The applicant states expressly that what the vendor sold by the sale deed described in paragraph 4 below does not exceed what devolved on and vested in the vendor, that no other heir's share has been sold to the applicant or is claimed by the applicant in this report, and that this report is not to be read as displacing any other heir from the record.

The applicant therefore prays that the intervening mutation of inheritance of the late X be entered and attested first, or in the same sitting, in favour of all the heirs named above in their respective shares, so that the chain of entries is complete before the sale mutation is attested.

4. How the applicant acquired the property

By Sale Deed No. 4521 dated 3 April 2026, registered at the Office of the Sub-Registrar, Kharar, District Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar and entered at Book No. 1, Jild 3542, pages 211 to 228, the vendor sold, transferred and conveyed the above property to the applicant for a consideration of ₹25,000 (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand only), which stands paid in full. Stamp duty of ₹25,000 (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand only) was paid on the deed. The registration fee paid was ₹25,000 (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand only). A certified copy of the registered deed is enclosed, and the original will be produced at the counter for verification and taken back.

The acquisition is therefore a purchase within the meaning of section 34(1) of the Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1887, and this is the applicant's report of that acquisition to the Halqa Patwari.

5. Possession

Possession of the property was delivered to the applicant on 2 April 2026, and the applicant has since been in actual and peaceful possession of 4 kanal 7 marla in Khasra / Killa No(s). Killa No. 21//14 (8-0), Killa No. 21//15 (7-12). The share purchased is 1/4 share out of 1/2 share of the vendor, equally between both applicants; so far as that is an undivided share in the khewat and no partition by metes and bounds has taken place, the applicant's possession is joint possession as a co-sharer along with the other recorded co-sharers. The Halqa Patwari and the Field Kanungo (girdawar) of the circle may kindly verify possession on the spot and report, and the khasra girdawari may be corrected accordingly.

6. No dispute, no encumbrance, and no bar on the transfer

To the best of the applicant's knowledge and belief:

(i) no suit, appeal, revision or revenue case concerning the said land is pending before any civil court or before any revenue officer, and no criminal proceeding touches it;

(ii) there is no stay, injunction or order of attachment operating against the said land, and it is not shown as property under litigation on the Revenue Courts Management System;

(iii) no partition proceeding under sections 111 to 126 of the Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1887 is pending in respect of the khewat;

(iv) no consolidation (chakbandi) or repartition proceeding under the East Punjab Holdings (Consolidation and Prevention of Fragmentation) Act, 1948 is pending in respect of the revenue estate, and no acquisition proceeding affects the said land;

(v) the land is not shamilat deh within the meaning of section 2(g) of the Punjab Village Common Lands (Regulation) Act, 1961. The applicant has read the ownership column of the enclosed fard before signing, has compared it word for word against the entries Jumla Malkan Wa Digar Haqdaran Arazi Hassab Rasad, Jumla Malkan and Mushtarka Malkan, and states that the entry reproduced in paragraph 3 above is the name of a person and is none of them; and

(vi) the land is free from mortgage, charge, lien and encumbrance.

If any objection is filed, the applicant is ready to appear and answer it on any date this Court fixes.

7. Why the mutation is being reported

Notwithstanding the registered sale, the jamabandi continues to show the applicant's predecessor in the ownership column, and the land revenue demand continues to be raised against him. Under section 34(1) of the Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1887, a person acquiring a right in an estate by purchase is bound to report that acquisition to the Halqa Patwari, and section 39 of that Act makes a person who neglects to do so within three months liable, at the discretion of the Collector, to a fine not exceeding five times the fee that would have been payable on the mutation. This report is made in discharge of that duty. Mutation is necessary so that the record of rights reflects the true state of the title, so that the revenue demand is transferred to the person actually liable, and so that the applicant can obtain a clean fard for the next transaction, a loan against the land, and a connection or a compensation payment in the applicant's own name.

Questions about this document

Does the Mutation Application (Intkal / Dakhil Kharij) After a Registered Sale need stamp paper or stamp duty in Punjab?

No ad valorem stamp duty on this report — it's a report of acquisition, not a conveyance; that duty was already paid when the sale deed itself was stamped and registered (5% + 1% cess, plus registration/PIDB/facilitation charges, on the Punjab table).

What THIS report costs is the mutation fee: Rs 600 ('wherever required'), recovered from YOU, the buyer, at attestation (not at filing) under s.38(2)/para 7.33 — a separate fee applies per partition holding or shamilat. Miss the 3-month reporting window and the Collector can fine up to 5x that fee. No court fee is prescribed, though a counter may ask a small local one — get the schedule entry in writing if so. If an affidavit is wanted, its stamp-paper denomination isn't officially sourced — ask the counter. None of this applies in Chandigarh: sector property has no jamabandi to mutate at all, and Chandigarh's own revenue villages run a different administration's fees entirely.
