Khata Transfer stamp duty & registration charges in Mumbai
Under the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966. Most Mumbai properties fall within BMC / MCGM (Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation) limits.
Maharashtra distinguishes revenue records (7/12 extract, property card) from municipal tax records. Both usually need updating, and they are handled by different offices.
How a khata transfer is registered in Mumbai
- Establish whether the property is recorded on a 7/12 extract, a property card, or a municipal assessment register — the route differs.
- Obtain the registered deed, prior extract and latest tax receipt.
- File the Ferfar application with the Talathi or the City Survey Office.
- The entry is posted to the mutation register and a notice period runs for objections.
- Where no objection is raised, the Circle Officer certifies the entry.
- Separately apply to the municipal corporation to transfer the property tax record.
- Collect the updated 7/12 extract or property card showing the new owner.

What goes wrong — Maharashtra and Mumbai specifics
Revenue and municipal records are separate — both must be updated
Updating the 7/12 extract does not update the municipal tax record, and vice versa. Applicants frequently complete one and assume the job is done, then discover the gap at the next sale.
The notice period allows objections
A Ferfar entry is not final on filing. It is posted and open to objection, and a disputed entry goes to the Circle Officer or Tehsildar for decision, which extends the timeline considerably.
Registration alone does not make you the recorded owner
This is the most widely misunderstood point in Indian property. A registered deed transfers title between the parties, but municipal and revenue records continue to show the previous owner until mutation completes. Banks, buyers and utilities rely on those records.
Unpaid dues block the application
Outstanding property tax, water charges or society dues attached to the property will stall a mutation application. These need clearing — and evidencing — before filing rather than after rejection.
A mismatch between deed and record is the usual cause of rejection
Differences in name spelling, property extent, survey number or boundary description between the registered deed and the existing record are the most common reason applications are returned. Reconciling them before filing avoids months of delay.
Co-operative society share transfer is a third step
For flats in co-operative societies, the share certificate transfer runs through the society and is separate from both revenue and municipal mutation.
Co-operative society share certificate transfer is separate
Almost every Mumbai flat sits in a co-operative housing society. Registering the gift deed does not transfer society membership — the share certificate must be endorsed and the society's transfer procedure followed, or the donee cannot vote, mortgage or sell cleanly.
Redevelopment and tenancy complicate title
Buildings under redevelopment, or holding pagdi and protected-tenancy rights, carry title positions that a gift deed cannot simply transfer. Developer agreements and society consent must be reviewed before drafting.
The ₹200 rate does not apply to commercial premises
Mumbai has a high proportion of commercial and mixed-use inventory. Gifting an office or shop to the same close relative attracts 3% of market value, not ₹200 — a difference of lakhs on typical Mumbai valuations.

Khata Transfer FAQs — Mumbai
What is the stamp duty on a gift deed to a family member in Mumbai?
For residential or agricultural property gifted to a close relative, Maharashtra charges a flat ₹200 stamp duty, with registration at 1% of market value capped at ₹30,000. This is the lowest family-transfer duty of any major Indian state. Local body and metro cess may apply on top. Figures are indicative, compiled July 2026 — confirm before executing.
Does the ₹200 gift deed rate apply to my Mumbai office or shop?
No. The ₹200 concession is limited to residential and agricultural property. Commercial premises gifted to the same close relative attract 3% of market value. On a ₹3 crore Lower Parel office that is roughly ₹9 lakh rather than ₹200, so establishing the property's classification before drafting matters enormously here.
Is the 15-year lock-in on gifted property still in force in Maharashtra?
No. Maharashtra removed the restriction in 2026. Previously a donee who sold within 15 years risked losing the concessional treatment. A good deal of guidance still online refers to the old rule, so it is worth confirming the current position for your specific transaction.
Do I need society NOC to gift my flat in Mumbai?
The society cannot ordinarily block a genuine gift, but the share certificate transfer runs through the society and its procedure must be followed. In practice we handle the deed and the society transfer together, because a registered deed with untransferred shares creates problems at the next sale.
Which Sub-Registrar Office covers my Mumbai property?
Mumbai is served by the Mumbai City offices at Old Custom House and the suburban offices grouped under Andheri, Borivali, Kurla and Bandra. Jurisdiction follows the property's location. We confirm the correct office and book the slot through IGR Maharashtra as part of the service.
How long does mutation take after registration in Mumbai?
Registration itself is a single appointment. Updating the municipal property card or 7/12 extract through the Ferfar process typically takes 30–60 days in Mumbai, and it is that step — not registration — that makes the donee the recorded owner.
