Mutation in MCD (Property Tax)

Overview

Mutation in MCD means changing the name of the person in whose favour a property is assessed in the records of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi. It is for property tax (house tax) purposes only and does not by itself confer legal title.

Getting the mutation done is the responsibility of the purchaser after a sale, and of the beneficiary after a death. It is also often asked for by banks, utility companies and future buyers.

When you need it

• You have bought a property through a registered Sale Deed
• The owner has died and the property passes to heirs or under a Will
• The property was transferred through a Power of Attorney
• You need the property sub-divided in the tax records

• Mutation application (with court-fee stamp, where applicable)
• Sale case: copy of the Sale Deed
• Death case: original death certificate, and copy of the Will or succession certificate
• POA case: copy of the Power of Attorney and related documents
• Indemnity Bond on ₹100 stamp paper
• Affidavit on ₹10 stamp paper, attested by a notary
• Proof of up-to-date property tax payment

This is an indicative list. Exact requirements depend on the property, the authority and your situation, and we confirm the full list after reviewing your papers.
