Mutation is a important factor in land ownership in Bangladesh. When you become an owner of a land/property, you need to complete the mutation. It is a very important piece of evidence for the title of the land.
You will not be able to sell the land if your name is not on the latest Khatian or you update the record through mutation. In another way, you will not be able to buy a land, if the seller’s name is not mutated.
If you have some property, you should have some idea of mutation.
In this post, I will give you some idea about mutation – what it means, the value of it, its relationship with the title of a land and other related legal stuff.

In general, mutation means recording the new owner’s name in the Khatian who have become the owner by way of transfer or inheritance[1].
