How we know this: we retrieve the MR from Bhoomi for clients every working day, so the steps, failure modes and workarounds below are what the portal actually does — not a summary of its documentation.
Shubham Tiwadi is a partner at Anashwar Property Solutions in Vijayapura. His team operates the retrieval systems that pull Karnataka land records directly from the Bhoomi, Kaveri Online and e-Aasthi portals, and handles title verification for buyers across Vijayapura district.
What is the MR?
Maintained by the Tahsildar's office through Bhoomi, the Mutation Register records every ownership transfer of a land parcel from the earliest government records to the present.
Why you need this
A mutation may reveal disputed inheritance or an unapproved partition. For agricultural land, the MR often contains entries that pre-date the EC system and is essential for establishing a clear title chain.
What the MR contains
- Mutation number and date for each ownership change
- Previous and new owner details for every transfer
- Reason for mutation: sale, inheritance, court order, gift, partition
- Reference document numbers and court orders
- Remarks, disputes, or holds on any mutation entry
Step by step
How to get the MR online
- 1
Open the Bhoomi portal at landrecords.karnataka.gov.in and choose "View RTC and MR".
- 2
Select District, Taluk, Hobli and Village, then enter the Survey Number with its Surnoc and Hissa.
- 3
Switch to the MR tab to list every mutation recorded against that parcel.
- 4
Open each mutation entry in turn — the register is a chain, and a single entry read alone is misleading.
- 5
Reconcile the chain end to end: every transfer out should have a matching transfer in.
The official portal is Bhoomi landrecords.karnataka.gov.in (Revenue Department, Government of Karnataka). We fetch from it on your behalf — you never need to register there.

What goes wrong
Common MR mistakes
The MR is the only place inheritance and partition transfers appear. These never touch the Sub-Registrar, so the EC will not show them.
A mutation marked as disputed or held stays visible in the register. Read the remarks column on every entry, not just the latest.
Gaps in the chain matter more than the entries themselves. If ownership jumps from A to C with no A→B→C record, ask why.
Pre-digitisation entries were transcribed from handwritten registers. Extents and names carry transcription errors — cross-check extent against the RTC and the survey sketch.
Mutation is not automatic after registration. A registered sale deed with no corresponding mutation means the buyer never took revenue possession.

MR troubleshooting guide
| Symptom on Bhoomi | How to fix it |
|---|---|
| A mutation is marked disputed or held | Read the remarks column on every entry, not just the latest. A held mutation stays visible and the underlying dispute may be live. |
| Ownership jumps with no intermediate entry | A transfer was never recorded, or the parcel was renumbered at re-survey. Trace it at the Tahsildar office before proceeding. |
| Registered sale deed with no matching mutation | The buyer paid but never took revenue possession. One of the most reliable early indicators of a problem property. |
| Extents across entries do not sum | Partition rounding, or an unrecorded sub-division. Reconcile against the survey sketch and the Akarband. |
| Chain begins with a government grant | Grant conditions may restrict transfer. Obtain the grant order and check the non-alienation period before buying. |
| Handwritten pre-digitisation entries unreadable | Request a certified copy of the village register at the Tahsildar office. |
Frequently asked questions
What is a Mutation Register in Karnataka?
The Mutation Register records every change of ownership entered in the revenue records for a land parcel — by sale, inheritance, gift, partition or court order — with the mutation number, date, parties, and the reference document behind each change.
Why check the MR if I already have the EC?
They cover different things. The EC shows registered transactions at the Sub-Registrar from 2004. The MR shows revenue-record transfers including inheritance and partition, which are never registered and go back much further.
What does a gap in the mutation chain mean?
It means a transfer happened that was never recorded, or was recorded under a different survey number after a re-survey. Either way the title chain is incomplete and needs to be traced at the Tahsildar office before you buy.
