Land Records, Mutation and
Khatian Correction
A focused starting point for Bangladesh mutation-record updates and defined khatian correction questions. Where a record may need to reflect a documented event, or a specific entry appears to need administrative attention, the immediate task may be to identify the exact record, stated discrepancy, available supporting materials and relevant official channel. This page is confined to that Bangladesh record-administration question.

The starting point
Define the record question before considering
a route
Mutation, mutation khatian and correction are used here as administrative record terms. They do not determine ownership, title, possession, entitlement, document validity or the availability of a remedy. The Ministry of Land’s published materials may help distinguish an update question from a discrete entry question, but route availability and current requirements remain record-specific.
What official record needs attention?
The immediate question may concern recording a documented ownership event through mutation, or a particular entry in an existing mutation khatian or land record. Identifying the exact record and entry is a useful first step before any administrative channel is considered.Is the question sufficiently specific?
A fact-only comparison may use the applicable survey record, mouza, khatian, dag, stated area, named entry and stated discrepancy. This comparison is not title diligence and does not establish ownership or the correctness of an entry.Does the issue remain administrative?
This page is limited to a record update or a discrete entry question. A contested ownership, possession, injunction, acquisition, planning, court or tribunal issue may require a separately scoped review and is outside this page.A focused conversation
Bounded record-administration
workstreams
The following workstreams describe possible administrative-record exercises within a Bangladesh land-record question. Each remains subject to matter-specific scope, conflict checks, legal review and confirmation of the current official position. They exclude acquisition negotiations, conveyancing, title diligence, planning, disputes and proceedings.
01 · Potential question
Record-question triage
Frame whether the immediate issue appears to concern a mutation update, a defined khatian entry, or a potential administrative correction or review category, while noting where the issue appears to fall outside this page’s remit.02 · Potential question
Khatian and parcel-data reconciliation
Organise the identifiers relevant to the stated question, which may include the survey record, mouza, khatian, dag, stated area and recorded names, into an administrative comparison. This is not a title search or title opinion.03 · Potential question
Mutation-information readiness
Identify Bangladesh-side record and applicant information that the current official workflow may request, without negotiating, drafting or executing acquisition or conveyancing documents.04 · Potential question
Supporting-material inventory
Prepare a controlled inventory of available record copies and event-related materials for a record-update enquiry, with missing or inconsistent information identified for further review. No document is treated as sufficient, admissible or determinative by this exercise.05 · Potential question
Defined correction-question framing
Distil a stated entry-level discrepancy, such as a name spelling, address, land class, area or dag-number issue, into a clear administrative question. This does not conclude that an error is established or that correction is available.06 · Potential question
Official-channel and status coordination
Structure non-contentious contact with the relevant Bangladesh land-service channel around application identifiers, notices, published requests and record outputs. Timing, priority, classification and acceptance remain subject to the current official process.07 · Potential question
Administrative review or reconsideration triage
Consider whether current official material indicates a potential non-contentious administrative review or reconsideration question, and identify when a separate disputes or proceedings scope may be necessary. This does not include objection, hearing, court or tribunal advocacy.Bangladesh context
Official public
context
The following signals are drawn from Bangladesh official public sources checked on 8 September 2026. They are contextual only and should not be treated as a complete statement of current law, procedure, eligibility, evidence requirements, fees, portal availability or likely result. Official sources and the relevant record context should be checked again before action.
Mutation-record information
The Ministry of Land’s public mutation information describes mutation as an update to the government record after a person or institution has lawfully acquired land. Its explanation says a mutation khatian may include owner names, mouza and JL information, dag number, land quantity, share and related remarks; it does not state that every record has the same contents or effect.Read sourceCorrection-application examples
The DLRMS public FAQ lists name spelling, land class, land quantity, address and dag number as examples of information for which a correction application may be made. The illustrative list does not determine whether a particular entry qualifies, which route applies, what evidence is required or whether any correction will be made.Read sourcePublished fee categories
The Ministry’s land-services page publishes separate labels for mutation, review and khatian-correction items. A published fee category does not establish eligibility, classification, completeness, payment mechanics or the amount applicable to a particular request; the live schedule should be checked immediately before action.Read sourceQuestions, not prescriptions
What may
matter.
These answers are general information. The applicable route always depends on the facts, documents and current legal position.
What information does a mutation khatian record?
The Ministry of Land’s public mutation information says that a mutation khatian may record owner names, mouza name and JL number, dag number, land quantity, share and related remarks. This is the Ministry’s public description, not a statement that every khatian contains the same information or establishes a person’s rights.
What kinds of details does the DLRMS FAQ identify for a correction application?
The DLRMS public FAQ gives examples including the spelling of a name, land class, land quantity, address and dag number. Its published guidance is illustrative; the route, evidence, current instructions and result require record-specific confirmation.
Where are published mutation and khatian-service fees listed?
The Ministry of Land publishes a live land-service fee schedule that separately labels mutation, review and khatian-correction items. Charges, components and payment arrangements may change, so the official schedule should be checked immediately before action rather than relying on evergreen page text.
