Transfer of Property Name in Municipal Records – Online & Offline Assistance
After purchasing or inheriting a property, it is essential to update the ownership details in municipal records. This process is known as Name Mutation or Property Name Transfer in records of the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) and Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC).
Many property owners believe that registration of Sale Deed is sufficient. However:
👉 Registration proves ownership, but mutation updates government records
At Advocate Ketan Palshikar Pune, we provide complete legal assistance for name mutation in PMC and PCMC records, ensuring your property is legally reflected in municipal records, tax bills, and ownership registers.
