This form is also called register of mutation. Mutation means substitution of the names of a person in the Record of Right. This is a record of changes in the record of right. This is done by the Revenue Officers u/s 148 to 151 and 154 of M.L.R. Code 1966. Transfer may be by Will, Sale, Mortgage, Lease, Exchange, Gift or Inheritance. This is very useful record as one can find out history of land.

Any person acquiring any right of whatever nature (Will, Sale, Mortgage, Lease, Exchange, Gift or Inheritance) in respect of any land has to report to the Talathi either orally or in writing acquisition of such right. However it is not obligatory to the person to report to the Talathi if he has acquired right with the permission of collector or through registered document.  (Talathi is receiving copy of order through Tahasildar.) On intimation from person, Talathi has to give a written acknowledgement and simultaneously he has to write details of nature of right in register of mutation.

Whenever a Talathi makes an entry in the register of muta­tions, he has to;

1. post up a complete copy of the entry in a conspicuous place in the Chavdi,
2. give   written intima­tion to all persons whose names are appeared in the record of rights or register of mutations.

5. below his signature, write legibly his full name in bracket and also his designation. (Talathi Saza)
6. enter in Village Form VII in the proper place in pencil the number of mutation entry with the remarks that the mutation entry has not been duly certified.

8. After the mutation is certified the Talathi has to record it in Village Form VII and correct the entries in Village Form VIII-A, wherever necessary. Also if the persons, whose rights are adversely affected, have admitted the mutation, the fact should be noted in column before putting his signature.

If the mutation is undisputed, and the entry has been made strictly in accordance with the above and if the permissible period has elapsed after the last date of publication of the notice in the Chavdi or intimation of mutation to the persons interested, the Circle Inspector himself has to certify the mutation.
