What is the Process of Property Name Change in Mumbai?

The process of changing the owner’s name on property tax records under Brihanmumbai Mahanagar Palika (BMC) or Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) in Mumbai can be completed via offline or online methods. I have shared how to change name in property tax online Navi Mumbai below.

• Visit the MCGM Property Tax portal at the Citizen Portal (https://ptaxportal.mcgm.gov.in/CitizenPortal) or MCGM’s main website under “For Citizens → Property Tax”.

• If you are new, register as a citizen (or log in if you already have credentials). 

• Select the “Name Change / Transfer in Property Tax Records” service.

• Fill out the required form online, providing the property account number, details of the old and new owner, reason for change, and upload scanned copies of the sale deed/gift deed, latest tax receipt, identity proof, and society NOC if required.

• Submit the application. 

In many cases, if the transfer is registered at the Sub-Registrar and data is pushed to MCGM, the change is automatically updated in real-time. Otherwise, the portal processing timeline is approximately 3 working days for online applications.

You need to visit your local MCGM ward office or the Property Tax Department, obtain the “Name Change / Transfer” application form, and fill it in with details of the property account, present owner, and proposed owner, reason for change (sale, inheritance, gift, etc.). Attach supporting documents, and ensure all property tax dues are paid. 

Submit the form and documents, and pay any processing fee. Don’t forget to take an acknowledgement receipt. I hope you found the process helpful.
