What Is Land Mutation in West Bengal?

Overview


Land mutation is the process of updating revenue records to reflect a change in ownership after a sale, inheritance, or gift. In West Bengal, mutation is handled by the office of the Block Land & Land Reforms Officer (BL&LRO).


Why It Matters


Until mutation is completed, the government revenue record continues to show the previous owner. Without mutation, you may face issues with property tax payments, future sale, and land-related applications.


Basic Documents


  • Registered deed
  • Previous Record of Rights (ROR / Porcha)
  • Identity proof of the new owner
  • Latest tax receipts
