Check land records and apply for mutation
Land records (record of rights such as Khatauni, 7/12, Jamabandi, Pahani or Patta) and cadastral maps are maintained by state revenue departments, and most states have online portals. Mutation updates the owner's name in revenue records after a sale, inheritance or gift.
Register a property purchase (sale deed) and pay stamp duty
Property sale deeds must be registered with the state's Sub-Registrar office under the Registration Act, after paying stamp duty and registration fees, which vary by state. Many states use online systems (including the National Generic Document Registration System, NGDRS) for appointments, valuation and e-stamp payment.
