Property Mutation (Intiqal) in Punjab — PLRA Procedure & Disputes

Mutation (انتقال) is the entry of a change of ownership — sale, gift or inheritance — in Punjab's record of rights, processed through PLRA Arazi Record Centres with biometric verification. The updated fard is what banks, buyers and authorities rely on. IMAAR completes sale, gift and inheritance mutations, verifies records before you transact, and fights fraudulent or wrong mutations through revenue appeals and civil cancellation suits — including for excluded heirs and overseas owners.

Mutations We Handle

Governing Law

Land Revenue Act 1967 — record of rights, mutations, revenue officers' attestation and the appellate hierarchy; Registration Act 1908 & Transfer of Property Act 1882 — the underlying transfers; PLRA — Arazi Record Centres, biometric verification and computerized fard.

The Two Rules That Prevent Property Disasters

  1. Title flows from the deed; the record must follow it. Mutation doesn't cure a defective deed — and a valid purchase left un-mutated invites double-sales and fraud. Do both, properly, in sequence.
  2. Check the fard before money moves. The current record of rights, its mutation history and pending entries — a one-day verification that prevents years of litigation. We run it as standard due diligence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is mutation and why does it matter?
The entry of ownership change in the revenue record (PLRA in Punjab). Banks, buyers and authorities rely on the fard — un-mutated purchases invite disputes and fraud.
Does mutation confer title?
Title flows from the underlying transaction; mutation is the record of it and strong evidence. Defective deeds aren't cured by mutation — both must be done right.
How does inheritance mutation work?
Heirs' shares are recorded per entitlement on the death record and verified heirship. Excluded heirs — commonly sisters and daughters — can have wrongful mutations corrected; such challenges succeed regularly.
A mutation was done fraudulently — what now?
Two tracks: revenue appeal/review against the entry, and civil declaration/cancellation with injunctions where documents are forged. Move before onward sales stack on the wrong entry.
How do I check my record?
Obtain the fard from an Arazi Record Centre or PLRA online access — we run checks for clients, especially overseas owners, to catch tampering early.
