How to Obtain Mutation Record/Certificate

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 24 October 2010 This query is : Resolved
Greetings all,

I wish to know how one might obtain a copy or certificate of the mutation record for a property that was purchased by my father (now deceased). I recently returned from my studies abroad and have obtained a certified copy of the sale deed from the registrar but my advocate says that I should check the mutation record and obtain a certificate to be 100% sure that no other transfer of the property occurred after his death, since the sale deed alone does not reflect subsequent transfer, only the transfer between parties involved in the sale. If some transfer occurred after the original sale, only the mutation record will show this.

Please advise on the procedure for obtaining the mutation record. Does one need to apply in court or with the registrar and how exactly is it to be done?

Many thanks,
Sapna

I do not think that the Mutation Certificate is a foolproof piece of evidence to show subsequent transfer not does it create any title over the property .
To check whether the property has changed hands or not then the effective method would be cause searches the office of the concerned Registrar. Moreover if the property is transferred in the meantime , it is unlikely the the purchaser would not exercise its title over it.

You have to inspect the Register of Encumbrances in the Office of the Registrar to check and confirm if there are any transfers. Mutation is the duty of the Revenue Officials. Neither the court nor the registration department has anything to do in the matters of mutation.
