The Bihar Land Mutation (Amendment) Act, 2017

General20174 sections

The Bihar Land Mutation Law Amendment Act, 2017 regulates the process of updating official land ownership records, known as the Jamabandi Register, in the state of Bihar. Applying to all landholders, property buyers, and revenue officials in Bihar, this law mandates that landowners file for mutation within ninety days of acquiring property or explain any delay. Crucially, it digitizes and accelerates the system by requiring local revenue officers to initiate online mutations automatically within three days of a land registration. This matters because it reduces administrative delays, updates rent records efficiently, and secures land rights for everyday property owners.
