Different Types Of Land Mutation In Assam
But before we go to the how-to part, let us explain the types of land mutation in Assam. Currently, there are two different types of land mutation in Assam. The first one is the Office mutation and the second one is the Field mutation. Below you can see the description of both types of land mutation in Assam.
What Is Office Mutation?
Office mutation is basically when the mutation is done in the circle office without any field visits. It is mandatory for areas which fall under the Municipality. However, citizens from rural areas are also allowed to apply for office mutation. During this process, the Circle officer checks if the application is fulfilling all the terms and conditions and then passes the mutation order.
What Is Field Mutation?
Unlike office mutation, field mutation requires a field visit by the circle officer. This is done mainly in the rural areas of Assam. Field mutation does not need any specific forms to be filled up and submitted. Application for field mutation can be easily done on plain paper with all the required documents attached to the circle officer or Lot Mandal.
Within What Period The Assam Land Mutation Should Be Done
Once you take possession or assumption of charge, the application for the mutation process should be submitted within the 6 months time frame. But remember, it is subject to fulfilment of the condition that nobody should file an objection during the proceeding.
How Much Does It Cost For Assam Namjari?
You need to pay the applicable fee for the land mutation process. But this application fee differs from area to area. The applicable fee for office mutation in an urban area is Rs 200, and for rural areas, it is Rs 50 only. However, there is no fixed charge for field mutation until now. And the mutation in rural areas sought by way of inheritance is done completely free of cost.
Is There Any Penalty Involved?
Yes! A penalty will be taken place if the mutation is not done within the 6 months time frame from the date of taking possession or assumption of charge. You may need to give a fine of 5 times the registration fee. That’s why you should apply for the Assam Namjari or land mutation within the time frame.
