When you need it

Property received by gift must show the donee in the record. Mutation doesn't replace the deed or create title, only records the change: the registered deed, donor, donee, identifiers, share, registration particulars. Punjab's portal offers a mutation-on-deed route; Chandigarh's procedure may differ — match office to property.

This is the mutation request only, not proof of ownership.

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

Stamp duty

No stamp duty: a s.34 mutation report transfers nothing (outside Schedule I-A); duty was due on the source instrument. No court fee. Cost is the Rs 600 mutation fee (Punjab Revenue Dept, 6 Sep 2026), recovered under s.38(2) at attestation from the person favoured; late reporting (past 3 months) risks a s.39 fine up to 5x — Rs 3,000.

Registration

Not registrable — outside s.17, Registration Act, 1908. The Patwari logs it in the register of mutations, the Kanungo validates it, returning an intkal number and order. An unregistered instrument needing registration can't found a mutation.

Notarisation

Not required unless the authority asks for an affidavit, declaration or attested copy.

Witnesses

Not ordinarily required; the authority may call for witnesses or identifiers at attestation or hearing.

MUTATION ON A GIFT

Application date: 2 April 2026

GIFT TRANSACTION

Applicant/donee: Aarav Sharma, Sector 21, Panchkula. The requested mutation follows registered gift deed, reference Document no. 118 dated 01 September 2026, dated 1 April 2026.

Current recorded holder/donor: Harpreet Singh. Proposed recorded holder/donee: Aarav Sharma.

GIFTED PROPERTY

The gifted property is situated in District SAS Nagar, Tehsil Kharar, Village Kharar. Official identifiers: Khewat 114, Khatauni 226, Khasra 18//12 min.. Gifted interest: 4 kanal agricultural land, full ownership share..

Requested change in the record: Full interest to be entered in favour of Aarav Sharma.. Current record reference: Jamabandi 2022-23, Khewat 114.

SOURCE DEED AND ACCEPTANCE RECORD

Source-document status: Required source document attached. Supporting material: Signed application and current record copy.

The mutation is requested only as the consequential entry flowing from the legally effective gift. The mutation entry is not the gift itself and should not enlarge the interest beyond the source deed.

OBJECTION POSITION

Known objection status: No known objection has been communicated.

RELIEF SOUGHT

Please verify the registered gift particulars against the current land/property record and enter and attest the donee's interest exactly to the extent conveyed by the source instrument.

LEGAL BASIS

In Punjab this application is the report of a change in rights under section 34 of the Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1887. It is addressed to the Circle Revenue Officer through the Halqa Patwari of the revenue estate, and can be handed to the Patwari or lodged at the Fard Kendra of the tehsil or sub-tehsil; the Halqa Patwari enters it in the register of mutations, the Field Kanungo validates the entry, and the Circle Revenue Officer, a Naib Tehsildar or Tehsildar, attests, sanctions or rejects it. A mutation records a change of rights; it does not create title. An entry in the record of rights is presumed true only until the contrary is proved (section 44 of the Act), and section 45 sends anyone who disputes it to a civil suit for a declaration. In Chandigarh only the Union Territory's revenue villages carry a jamabandi; there the Patwari holds the record of rights and the Tehsildar or Naib Tehsildar of the Union Territory attests the mutation. A sector property held from the Estate Office has no jamabandi and is not mutated this way: the Estate Office's own transfer procedure applies.
