Why Indore is the Next Big Real Estate Hotspot: Key Reasons to Invest NowRegistry Is Not Ownership Anymore: New 2025 Land Rules for Property Ownership
Starting in 2025, property registration alone will no longer prove ownership of land or property in India. Under the new land rules, completing the mutation (Dakhil Kharij) process after registration is now mandatory to be legally recognized as the owner.
What the New Rule Means
Earlier, property buyers believed that once the sale deed was registered, ownership was transferred.
Now, registration is only the first step.
Ownership is confirmed only after the property is mutated in the buyer’s name in the government land records.
Purpose of the Rule
- To prevent fraud and disputes where land remains in the seller’s name despite a sale deed.
- To ensure that government land records match the actual ownership details.
- To make property transactions transparent, traceable, and legally verified.
Steps to Become a Legal Owner
1. Register the property and pay stamp duty and registration fees.
2. Apply for mutation (Dakhil Kharij) at the local revenue or municipal office (or online if available).
3. Submit documents like the sale deed, ID proof, and tax receipts.
4. Once approved, your name is entered into official land records, confirming full ownership.
Why Mutation Is Important
Only the person whose name appears in government land records is considered the legal owner.
Mutation is required for:
- Selling or transferring property
- Applying for home loans
- Receiving government compensation or subsidies
Without mutation, ownership disputes or loan rejections may occur.
Government’s Goal
- To create a digitally integrated and fraud-free land record system.
- To ensure that every registered property is automatically reflected in land records with correct ownership details.

PCMCs Demolition Drive Sparks Protests as Town Planning Schemes Loom in Chikhali Kudalwadi
The Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) has come under fire from residents after the demolition of over 4,500 unauthorised structures in Chikhali-Kudalwadi. The aggressive drive, carried out as part of the civic body's efforts to reclaim land and initiate organised development, is linked to the launch of proposed Town Planning (TP) schemes in the area.
The PCMC has notified plans for two major TP schemes—one spanning 380 hectares in Chikhali-Kudalwadi and another covering 1,425 hectares in Charholi. These schemes are a part of the city's overall vision for orderly urban development, which seeks to solve the issues created by unorganised development and unauthorised buildings.
But the civic body's action has sparked mass unrest among residents, many of whom say they were not provided with adequate notice or alternative arrangements before their houses and buildings were razed. The situation escalated last week when a group of angry locals staged protests, shouting slogans and burning copies of the notification in a show of defiance.
Residents allege that the TP schemes disproportionately favour builders and developers at the cost of ordinary citizens who have lived in the area for years. The incident underscores the complex challenges that come with urban expansion, balancing civic planning with the rights of those directly affected.
As Pimpri-Chinchwad continues to grow, the success of these TP schemes may depend not just on the plans themselves, but on how well authorities can engage with, reassure, and include the communities they aim to transform.
