Mutation Status Rajasthan: How to Track Namantaran Online (2026)
How to follow a land mutation (Namantaran) in Rajasthan through the Apna Khata (e-Dharti) system, what the stages mean, and what to do when it stalls.
Mutation (Namantaran) status in Rajasthan is followed through the state's Apna Khata (e-Dharti) land records system, using the district, tehsil, village and mutation or khata details. Below is how to look, how to read the result, and how to chase a stalled file.
What is Namantaran (mutation) in Rajasthan?
Mutation, called Namantaran (เคจเคพเคฎเคพเคเคคเคฐเคฃ) in Rajasthan, is the revenue-record update that follows a change in who holds a parcel of land. It is triggered by a sale, inheritance, gift, partition or court order. Until it is sanctioned, the revenue record (Jamabandi) can continue to show the earlier holder, even when a registered deed exists in your name.
In Rajasthan the revenue department keeps these records, and the state's land records portal is Apna Khata, the system many people still call e-Dharti. Our overview of the Rajasthan Apna Khata portal explains what the portal holds. For the general concept across states, see the mutation (Dakhil Kharij) guide.
Why mutation status matters before and after you buy
A registered sale deed and a mutated revenue record are two separate things. Lenders, future buyers and revenue officers look at the Jamabandi, so an unmutated record can slow a resale, a loan or a later inheritance. For agricultural land, an unmutated record also leaves the previous holder's name against the khata.
Checking status yourself, rather than relying on a verbal "it is filed", is one of the simplest verification steps a buyer can take.
- Confirm that a mutation was actually filed after registration.
- See whether it is pending, objected to or sanctioned.
- Match the final entry against your deed before releasing any balance payment.
Where to track a mutation online
The official starting point is apnakhata.raj.nic.in, run by the Rajasthan revenue department. The portal is designed for viewing Jamabandi extracts, Khasra and Khata details and mutation-related information, and for applying for certified copies.
One caution: the portal's pages blocked our automated review, so we could not confirm the exact name of the mutation-status menu item or whether it currently needs a login in 2026. Menu labels on government portals change, so look for the nearest equivalent to "mutation", "Namantaran" or "application status" rather than a fixed path.
Step-by-step: how to look for your mutation
- Open the official Apna Khata portal and choose the mutation or application-status section if it is shown on the home page.
- Select the district, tehsil and village (in the portal's own order).
- Enter the mutation number, application number or khata/khasra number, whichever the form asks for.
- Complete the captcha and submit.
- Read the status, and save a screenshot or printout for your file.
If the portal does not show a status search for your case, ask the patwari or the tehsil office for the mutation number and the current stage, and ask for it in writing.
Save the number on day one
Ask your lawyer or the tehsil for the mutation or application number the moment it is filed and store it with the deed. It is the quickest way to check status later.
Reading the stages of a mutation
The exact stage names are not something we could verify on the live portal. In general, a mutation moves through these steps under the Rajasthan land revenue rules: the application or registration intimation is received, the patwari or revenue officer verifies it, a notice period gives others a chance to object, and the competent revenue officer sanctions or rejects it. After sanction the Jamabandi should show the new holder on a later search.
A status that has not moved for weeks is the signal to follow up, not to wait.
What to do if the mutation is stuck
- Recheck the details. A wrong village, khata or number is the most common reason a search returns nothing.
- Ask the tehsil in writing. Request the reason for the delay: missing documents, an objection, or a pending verification.
- Look for an objection. A rival claim or boundary dispute can hold up sanction until it is decided.
- Escalate through the revenue hierarchy. If the delay is administrative, a written application to the senior revenue officer is the usual route.
- Keep records. Hold copies of the deed, application receipt and every letter.
For inheritance cases, see mutation after death, which covers the extra documents involved.
What to verify once it is sanctioned
Pull a fresh Jamabandi extract and check the holder's name, khata number, khasra number and area. Rajasthan area is often recorded in bigha and biswa, so see bigha and biswa in Rajasthan if the units differ from your deed. Compare against the map too, using the Rajasthan cadastral map guide once it is live.
Timelines and fees: what we cannot confirm
We could not verify an official number of days for mutation in Rajasthan, nor a fixed fee for the mutation application, from a primary government source. Different websites quote different figures. Please confirm both with your tehsil or the portal's help section before you rely on them.
