What is Property Mutation?
Mutation is the process of updating the municipal property tax records to reflect the new owner's name after purchase, inheritance, gift, or will. In Kolkata, this is done at the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) Assessment Department. While mutation is not proof of title, it is essential for paying property tax, getting building plan approval, and selling the property later.
