Chandigarh: Haryana has fixed strict time limits for the disposal of mutation cases by revenue officials, with Patwaris now required to clear cases within five days and Kanungos and Circle Revenue Officers (CROs) within three days each, in a move aimed at cutting pendency and bringing greater accountability into the mutation process.
The decision was taken at a review meeting chaired by Financial Commissioner Revenue and Disaster Management Department, Dr. Sumita Misra, convened to assess the Auto-Mutation System, mutation and Jamabandi formats, Digital Crop Survey, and citizen communication services.
The prescribed timelines will be built into the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), making mutation disposal more time-bound across the state. A dedicated Monitoring Cell will also be set up to track Auto-Mutation implementation, pending cases, resolution of technical tickets, and problems faced at the field level on a regular basis.
The Auto-Mutation System, inaugurated by Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini on June 23, 2026, has significantly transformed the mutation process by seamlessly integrating property registration with mutation services. Under the system, mutation is initiated automatically upon property registration, eliminating the need for a separate application and reducing the need for repeated visits to Tehsil offices.
