As far as the processing of the mutation of a property title is concerned, the revenue department has abolished the indemnity bond and the time period has been reduced to 25 days from 30 days. There is no need to apply to the Land and Survey Office for mutations as now, it is automatically triggered after the registration of the deed. The disputes related to mutation registration are now disposed of within a year.
A majority of titles or deed records have now been digitised. The state revenue department official said, ''Of the total 3,92,781 digitised record of rights (RoR), 26,675 are for the city and 3,66,106 are for the suburbs. An electronic database for encumbrances such as liens, mortgages can be searched online through various applications like free search, premium search, and local tax dues," an officer from the revenue department said. He further informed that the mapping agency is expected to deliver an updated map within 30 days and it has been notified under the Right to Services Act (RTS).
The officer said all land plots in the city are mapped under Bhu-Nakasha. ''However, if anybody acquires right in any part of a privately held plot and wishes to separate out such part by metes and bounds, he is required to make an application to the City Survey office to subdivide the plot. Updated maps of subdivisions are required to be prepared within 30 days under the RTS,'' he said.
