Why you need it

When you need it

An owner died leaving a will; the beneficiary wants the record updated: deceased, date of death, will date, beneficiary, identifiers, share claimed. Mutating isn't proving the will — if genuineness, capacity or heir objections are disputed, the authority may need more evidence or leave parties to court. A contested will isn't self-proving; mutation isn't a conclusive title adjudication.

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh. 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 stamp duty: a s.34 mutation report transfers nothing (outside Schedule I-A); duty was due on the source instrument. No court fee. Cost is the Rs 600 mutation fee (Punjab Revenue Dept, 6 Sep 2026), recovered under s.38(2) at attestation from the person favoured; late reporting (past 3 months) risks a s.39 fine up to 5x — Rs 3,000.

Registration

Not registrable — outside s.17, Registration Act, 1908. The Patwari logs it in the register of mutations, the Kanungo validates it, returning an intkal number and order. An unregistered instrument needing registration can't found a mutation.

Notarisation

Not required unless the authority asks for an affidavit, declaration or attested copy.

Witnesses

Not ordinarily required; the authority may call for witnesses or identifiers at attestation or hearing.
