Understanding Mutation & Conversion: Essential Processes for Property Records

What Is Mutation?

Mutation is the process of updating the land or property records to reflect a change in ownership.
It does not grant ownership but records the transfer of rights in the revenue records after:

• Sale of property
• Inheritance/succession
• Gift deed
• Partition deed
• Court decree

What Is Conversion?

Conversion refers to changing the classification of land from Agricultural to Non-Agricultural (NA) use.
This is required when the land will be used for purposes such as:

• Residential construction
• Commercial establishments
• Industrial projects
• Institutional use
• Layout development

Conversion ensures that land use follows legal and planning regulations.

Documents Generally Required

While exact requirements vary by state, common documents include:

For Mutation

• Registered sale deed / gift deed / will / partition deed
• Tax receipts
