Property Mutation at MCD — Don't Skip This Step After Registration
Mutation means updating ownership records in MCD from the previous owner to the new owner. Most Delhi buyers delay or skip this — causing problems with property tax, utility transfers, home loans, and future resale.
Why Mutation Matters
⚠ Without Mutation
- Property tax bills in old owner name
- No official standing in MCD records
- Home loan applications rejected
- Utility name transfers blocked
- Future resale complications
✅ After Mutation
- Property tax in your name
- Official MCD ownership record
- Banks accept for home loans
- Easy utility name transfers
- Clean title for future resale
📅 Timeline: Apply for mutation within 30 days of sale deed or gift deed registration.
