Is mutation the same as registration?

No. Registration is done at the Sub-Registrar office and makes your deed a legal document. Mutation (Dakhil-Kharij) is a separate, compulsory step with the Revenue Department that updates the land record (jamabandi) to reflect you as the owner. Both are required — registration alone does not update the land record.

How much does mutation cost in Bihar, and how long does it take?

The government fee is ₹40, paid online via biharbhumi.bihar.gov.in. Processing typically takes 30 to 90 days, and status can be tracked at emutation.bihar.gov.in.

How soon after registration should I apply for mutation?

Under the Bihar Land Mutation Act 2011, the mutation petition should be filed within 90 days of registration. Filing later is generally still possible, but ask us about your specific situation rather than letting it slide.
