‘Automatic mutation of land records from today’

The State government has decided to implement automatic mutation of land records from Wednesday to avoid the role of middlemen and landowners visiting the offices of tahsildars.

Sharing details in this regard at a press conference here, Minister for Revenue Krishna Byre

Gowda said automatic mutation will be done on mortgaging of land in banks for loans, division of property, acquisition of lands, and cases related to court orders.

Nearly 72% of changes in the land records (Pahani/RTCRecord of Rights, Tenancy and Crops) would be done automatically without human interference. “Now, changes in the Pahani require the thumb impression of the revenue inspectors”. Details of mutation of changes in RTCs would be provided on the portal, he said.

Referring to the scenario with respect to changes in the RTCs in the State in the last six months, the Minister said 72% changes can be done automatically, while 28% cannot. Automatic mutation of land records cannot be done with regard to sale deed, partition deed, inheritance, minor guardian, and disputed land cases. In these cases, 15 days of notice period would be given to applicants, Mr. Gowda said.

Office open on Sunday

Mr. Gowda said the government would issue an order for functioning of subregistrar offices in the city corporation limits in the State on

Sundays. One subregistrar office in each of the city corporations of the State will remain open on Sunday on rotation basis for the benefit of employees in the public and private sectors.

Only those with prior appointment can go to offices on Sunday for registration of property, land, or other work, he said. There are 10 city corporations in the State.
