Uttar Pradesh — frequently asked

How do I apply for mutation (dakhil-kharij) in Uttar Pradesh?
After a registered sale, mutation (namantaran / dakhil-kharij) is often started from the registration itself; you can also apply online at vaad.up.nic.in. The Lekhpal (village revenue officer) does a field verification — a site visit, checking boundaries with neighbours and the seller's claim. There is an objection window for disputes. The Tehsildar passes the mutation order (UP Revenue Code, Section 34). The khatauni (record) is updated in your name.
How long does mutation take in Uttar Pradesh?
No fixed guarantee; commonly around 30–45 days when the papers are complete, and it varies by tehsil.
What if my mutation is rejected in Uttar Pradesh?
If it is rejected or objected, it goes to the revenue court (SDM / appellate authority); RCCMS (vaad.up.nic.in) tracks revenue cases.
