If a mutation was rejected or you disagree with the order, first get the written order, then use the objection/appeal route available with your case, or seek a fresh correction with the Circle Officer.

Who is responsible

  • Circle Officer (Anchal Adhikari)Implements mutation at circle level: hears objections, conducts inquiry and passes the dakhil-kharij order.
  • Revenue and Land Reforms Department, BiharOwns mutation policy, land records and Circle Officer implementation of dakhil-kharij in Bihar.

A rejected or contested mutation stays with the revenue department: the Circle Officer's order can be challenged through the objection process under the mutation rules, and the RCMS record keeps the case trail.

Important condition: Provisional: the exact appeal forum and deadline depend on the mutation order and rules in force; confirm with the Circle Office and the current Bihar Land Mutation rules.
