What goes wrong — Bihar and Patna specifics
Land survey and record modernisation is ongoing
Bihar's special survey and record updation programme is actively redrawing records across districts. Parcels mid-survey can show inconsistencies between the old and new records, and transactions during that window need particular care.
Registration alone does not make you the recorded owner
A registered deed transfers title between the parties, but revenue and municipal records continue to show the previous owner until mutation completes.
Deed-to-record mismatches cause most rejections
Differences in name spelling, extent or boundary between the deed and the record are the usual reason applications are returned.
Statewide land survey is actively redrawing records
Bihar's special survey and record updation programme is redrawing records district by district. Parcels mid-survey can show inconsistencies between the old and new records, and transacting during that window needs particular care.
Ceiling surplus and Bhoodan land
Bihar has extensive ceiling-surplus and Bhoodan land whose transfer is restricted, and the restriction survives subsequent sales.

Khata Transfer FAQs — Patna
How do I transfer khata / mutation to my name in Patna?
After registration, apply for Dakhil Kharij (mutation) through Bihar Registration / Bhumijankari or at Patna Municipal Corporation / PRDA, submit the registered deed, prior tax receipts and ID proof, clear any objection during the notice period, and collect the updated record. We file it and follow it through.
Is registering the sale deed enough, or do I need mutation separately in Patna?
Registration alone does not update the municipal or revenue record. Until Dakhil Kharij is completed, Patna Municipal Corporation / PRDA still shows the previous owner — which blocks a future sale, loan or tax change. Mutation is a separate, essential step.
How long does khata / mutation transfer take in Patna?
Typically 4–6 working days for drafting and verification after the application, longer where an objection is filed or records are pre-digitisation. We track the file and respond to queries to avoid delays.
What documents are needed for mutation in Patna?
The registered sale, gift or partition deed, latest property-tax receipts, an encumbrance certificate, identity proof, and — for inheritance — the death certificate and legal heir details. Requirements vary slightly by Bihar authority.
Can I apply for mutation online in Patna?
In most of Bihar, mutation is filed through Bihar Registration / Bhumijankari. The online step still needs the correct documents and often a physical verification, which is where applications commonly stall — we handle both.
