As per provisions of section 128 of DMC act, 1957 (as amended in 2003) whenever the title of any person, primarily liable for the payment of property taxes on any land or building, is transferred, the persons whose title is transferred and the person to whom the same is transferred shall give, within three-months, a notice of such transfer to MCD. The notice has to be given by the transferor as well as the transferee. If any notice under Section 126 (since repealed) is pending, the liability for the increased rate -able value after the date of transfer shall be that of the transferee. As such, the transferee should ensure that either the pending proposals are decided, additional taxes are paid by the transferor. It is, therefore, required that whenever the transferees present documents for transfer, a letter is to be issued to the transferor inviting objections, if any, in respect of the claim for mutation and consider objections received, if any, within 15 days of the issue of such letter. If no objection is received within 15 days, the property may be mutated in the name of the transferee, subject to fulfillment of other conditions.
As and when there is death of the person
primarily liable for payment of taxes, the person on whom the title of the
property devolves, should within six months of the death, apply to the MCD
about the devolution of the property on the legal heirs so that property
mutations takes place. The person on
whom the property devolves should be cautious in moving for transfer in
municipal records as early as possible as there has been cases whereby some of
the legal heirs got the property mutated in their names to the exclusion of
others.
The mutation in the municipal records is for the purpose of payment of property taxes and it does not mean a legal title in the name of the person in whose name the property has been mutated in the municipal records.
Transfer Duty: Prevalent rate of transfer duty is 3% of consideration amount.
Mutation Fee: However, under the DMC (Amendment) Act, 2003, for each apportionment, fee of Rs.100/- is to be paid, along with composition fee of Rs.50/-(wherever applicable).
