Spelling mistake in property tax receipt

(Querist) 22 December 2018 This query is : Resolved 
HELLO!
my father was an govt employee and has got a land(open plot) registerd in his favour by gift deed from his brother-in-law in 1991. In 1993 my father borrowed mortagage loan from his office to construct home. Due to mortagage we have not done mutation. In 2015 my father got retired from his service and we got cleared mortagage title against property by submitting reconveyance of property letter by submitting it in registration office in JAN 2016. on enqiry about property tax we came to know that it has been generating in favour of person who have signed for witness no 1 out of 2 during registration of gift deed in 1991. Municipal corporation of my district have no legal documents against the person to which the property tax receipt have being generating. They told us the change have being made due to new assessement.
please suggest me the solution and is mutation neccesary or not in case we mortagaging our property for construction.

What is the status of plot / land i.e., residential / commercial / industrial / agriculture etc.?
Which state/ city the land is located ?
Why does the municipality not mutating the property i.e., what is their objection in sanction of mutation ?
Mutation is only and only for tax purpose, however, it do not affect title / ownership.
Consult a local prudent lawyer for better appreciation of facts, analyse, guidance and proceeding.

Subsequent to (valid/registered) Gift deed the donee might/could have proceeded to mutate the property in favor of donee.
IT is better to apply to update the mutation records!
If mutation was not updated then property might still be in the name of donor i.e. title holder/owner that made the gift by valid/registered gift deed.
While paying tax etc the person/payee fills complete details in requisite forms e.g; name of owner, full address of property (even UID if any is issued) and must have kept a copy.
The payee also gets receipt in name of owner as in records of jurisdictional authority under whose jurisdiction property falls e.g; MC. So the receipts might be in the name of title holder/owner that made the gift by valid/registered gift deed. If there was any error e.g; the details of actual owner i..e either donor or done, then correction could have been applied as per procedure, than remaining silent.
Since the debt is paid in full donee may proceed to mutate the property in favor of donee.
In any case since the taxes are duly paid, apparently the authority has not asked for any recovery of dues.
If there is any error e.g; the details of actual owner i.e. either donor or donee then correction is to be applied by current owner (donee).
Apparently IT is simple matter of procedure, and can be handled by current owner that can approach concerned official in O/o LOCAL authority.


If the need be approach your own very able LOCAL counsel.

Online discussions are not substitute to in person discussions with a very able counsel of unshakable repute and integrity specializing in concerned field of law.
One should not fall for IT’s and entities loitering at online portals to allure unsuspecting querists……the personal details of unsuspecting querists/citizens get stored in databanks/compromised……hacked.
Not only your counsel ( if other very able counsel opine that 1st counsel’s advise was bad, misleading) many posing as Lawyers (actually Liar) have been raking up disputes at online portals including LCI on subjects like ; WILL, Nomination, Gratuity etc etc with their misleading, illegal advices and conduct..and have failed due to untiring efforts by some sincere and good natured Experts that indeed want to help and contribute at such portals. Such entities operate by forming gangs ( ikdi, dukdi, tikdi, chokdi and even more)….and attempt to deflect, divert to other members of their gangs to fleece the unsuspecting querists. Many of such entities have never been to courts and might have never won in any case and may not be able to count even on their fingertips. In the end multiple fake ID’s of such IT’s and entities get permanently blacklisted, shunted out at online portals and outside online portals and even society………and that is exactly what they deserve. Make a note of such entities and if the need be act to confine them to correctional centers; Jail, and let their cost and consequences be, heritable. Why such IT’s and entities litter nuisance at online portals: to hide their own weaknesses, and to satiate their insatiable itch and due to their infectious greed. One should stay away from such infected entities and hence away from such infection. You may post if anyone has ever asked /is asking for money from you have paid.
Such IT’s and entities keep on poping up at online portals with fake and new ID’s after their old ID’s are permanently blacklisted/shunted out and money fleeced from unsuspecting is finished.
There are such very able counsels at each location.
Check for such counsels at LOCAL; Revenue/Civil Courts, HC, SC,..
You can also try for FREE legal Aid from Legal aid center (DLSA) that is usually within LOCAL courts complex..preferably from a very able counsel specializing in Revenue/Civil matters.
Your counsels may opine that you can appear on 1st date, and obtain copies of petition etc to reply later ….and inform the court that you shall be engaging a counsel and appear thru your counsel….Or your counsel can appear and obtain copies of petition etc and reply later or your new counsel can appear for you.

There have many instances of such entities operating with multiple fake Id’s at online portals.


The FEE of all LOCAL counsels at all LOCATIONS is not high/unreasonable as mis-believed by many.
Many counsels even at State Capital/Metro towns do not demand unreasonable high FEE.
IT is rather at online portals that unsuspecting querists are mislead as per many publications, by IT’s and Entities that pose as some Lawyer (actually LIAR) and flaunt/advertise firms that are not Law Firms (Actually LIAR’s Firms) to believe that LOCAL counsels are not knowledgeable..are incompetent.
In Reality the LOCAL counsels win cases in LOCAL courts at all LOCATIONS.
You can go thru/search the cases contested by any Lawyer at court website.
Rest; Your own very able LOCAL counsel as already advised above, can advise you in person, after examining all docs, inputs in person.
