Chandigarh's Auto-Mutation System: Streamlining Property Transfers with Digital Efficiency

Chandigarh's Auto-Mutation System: A Game Changer in Property Transfers

Chandigarh's Auto-Mutation System: Streamlining Property Transfers with Digital Efficiency Starting July 7, 2025, Chandigarh will transform property ownership transfers with its auto-mutation system. This digital governance initiative aims at removing manual processes and promoting transparency. Developed by the Estate Office in partnership with the Sub-Registrar Office (SRO), this system automates mutation procedures based on registered property deeds, ensuring quicker, corruption-free transfers.


How the Auto-Mutation System Works

  1. Automated Initiation:

    • After registering the property at the SRO, the system automatically starts the mutation process.
    • Data and documents are sent in real-time to the Estate Office portal, eliminating manual submissions.
  2. Streamlined Workflow:

    • Leasehold properties: Mutation done within 2 working days.
    • Freehold properties: Mutation completed within 7 working days.
  3. Transparent Tracking:

    • Ownership changes appear on the Estate Office’s online portal right after the process is finished.
