Dakhil Kharij Status UP: Check Mutation Online (2026 Guide)
How mutation (दाखिल खारिज) works in Uttar Pradesh, how to confirm whether your name has been entered, and what to do if the file is stuck.
Dakhil Kharij (दाखिल खारिज) is the entry that moves a name in the revenue record after a sale, inheritance or gift. A registered deed alone does not complete it. After you register, confirm the updated khatauni on UP Bhulekh, or track the file at the tehsil or through e-District UP.
Why mutation matters
- The revenue record decides who is shown as the holder for crop, compensation and loan purposes.
- A buyer who does not mutate can be bypassed by a second sale or a claim by the seller’s heirs.
- Banks usually ask for the updated khatauni before they lend.
Mutation and registration are separate steps. Registration is done at the sub-registrar office; mutation is done by the revenue authorities under the UP Revenue Code, 2006.
Step-by-step: check whether your mutation is done
- Open UP Bhulekh and choose the khatauni option.
- Select District, Tehsil and Village, then search by khasra or gata number.
- Open the record and look at the holder names and shares.
- If your name appears with the correct share and area, the mutation is reflected.
- If the old holder still appears, the mutation is pending or has not been filed.
- Ask the tehsil for the file or case number and the current stage.
Keep the acknowledgement
Save the application receipt or case number. Every follow-up at the tehsil goes faster with it.
How the process normally moves
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| Application | Filed with the registered deed, ID and supporting papers, online or at the tehsil |
| Field verification | The lekhpal (लेखपाल) checks possession and the record |
| Notice and objections | A window for objections follows |
| Order | The competent revenue officer passes the order |
| Record update | The new holder appears on the khatauni |
Timelines depend on whether the case is disputed and on the office. Ask the tehsil for the statutory time limit for your type of case.
If the file is stuck
- Ask in writing for the status and the reason for delay.
- For a clear delay beyond the stated limit, escalate to the Sub-Divisional Magistrate’s office.
- Use the state’s grievance channel through the official portals.
- Do not pay the balance of the sale price until the record is corrected.
Timelines you may hear about
Press reports in 2025 said the Revenue Council instructed officials to decide undisputed mutation cases within 45 days and disputed ones within 90 days, with district officers answerable for delay. Treat these as the target the department has stated, and confirm the current rule at your tehsil before you rely on it. A file can run longer if an objection is filed or papers are missing.
Use dates, not guesses
Note the date you applied and the date the deed was registered. If the khatauni still shows the old holder after the stated period, ask the tehsil office in writing for the status of your file.
How to confirm the result on the portal
- Open UP Bhulekh and select District, Tehsil and Village.
- Search by khasra or gata number, or use the mutation-date search tab.
- Open the record and look at the holder name, share and area.
- Check that the entry reflects your deed and not only the old holder.
- Run the plot-sold status check by gata number to see if a later sale is recorded.
Your name appearing on the khatauni is the sign that mutation is complete. See Khasra Khatauni UP for reading the entry.
Documents usually needed
- Registered sale deed, gift deed or the inheritance documents.
- Identity proof of the applicant.
- A recent khatauni extract.
- Death certificate and a family record in case of inheritance.
- Any other paper the tehsil asks for.
Lists differ by case. Ask the tehsil office for the list that applies to your type of transfer.
Buyer checklist after registration
- Apply for mutation as soon as the deed is registered.
- Keep copies of the deed, ID and acknowledgement.
- Check the khatauni at regular intervals until your name appears.
- Confirm the share and area are correct once updated.
- Download the updated extract and file it with the deed.
Common mistakes
- Assuming registration alone updates the record.
- Not following up after the objection period.
- Leaving a co-heir’s share out of an inheritance mutation.
- Ignoring a rejected order instead of appealing within the time allowed.
