So you applied for mutation in Bihar a few weeks ago — and now you are just sitting there wondering if anything has actually happened. Did the Circle Officer look at your file? Is it approved? Is it stuck somewhere? You have no idea.
This is one of the most frustrating parts of the whole dakhil kharij process. You do the paperwork, submit everything, and then it feels like your application has just vanished into thin air.
Here is the good news: you do not have to wait anymore or make repeated trips to the Block office just to get an update. The Bihar government has made it possible to check your mutation status in Bihar online — from your phone, in under five minutes, completely free.
This guide covers everything. How to check Dakhil Kharij status on the official portal, what to do if it shows pending, what happens if it gets rejected, and how Bihar Bhumi Seva can make the whole thing easier. Read it once, and you will not have to ask anyone for help again.
When you buy land or inherit property in Bihar, the government records still show the old owner's name. Your name does not automatically appear there just because you paid for it or inherited it. That update — the process of removing the old name and adding yours — is called mutation or dakhil kharij.
Without completing this process, your ownership is not fully recognized in government records. Banks will not give you a loan against the property. Future sales become complicated. And in a land dispute, you will be in a very weak position legally.
Think of it this way — a sale deed proves that a transaction happened between you and the seller. But mutation is what tells the government that you are now the owner. One without the other leaves your ownership incomplete in the eyes of the law.
The Bihar government says mutation should be done within 21 working days of applying. That does not always happen in practice, but at least now you can track every single step online without going anywhere.
You do not need much. Before you open the portal, just make sure you have one of the following:
That is really all. If you have lost your application number, you can still search by your name or your plot number. So even if the paperwork is gone, you are not stuck.
Go to the Bihar Bhumi Seva portal on your phone or computer and wait for the website to load completely. Sometimes the portal becomes slow during busy hours, so if it takes too much time, try again later or early in the morning.
On the homepage, look for the “Dakhil Kharij or mutation” option in the top navigation menu. Click on it to open the dropdown options.
From the dropdown menu, click on “Online Mutation Status” or “Dakhil Kharij Avedan Sthiti.” Both options are used to check the mutation application status online.
Now select your district and block (Anchal) from the dropdown menus. Make sure you select the correct details to avoid incorrect results.
Enter your Case Number or Application Number in the search box. If you do not have these details, you can also search using your name, khata number, or plot number.
Click on the Search button. Within a few seconds, your mutation details will appear on the screen. You can check:
If your mutation application has been approved, you will see an option to download the certificate. Save a copy for future land or property work.
If you are facing issues while checking mutation status or applying online, Bihar Bhumi Seva can help you with services related to:
Always double-check your details before submitting any application online.
| Status Shown | What Is Actually Happening |
|---|---|
| Pending / Vibhagiya Karywahi | Received but not yet reviewed. It is in the queue with the Circle Officer |
| Approved / Sweekar | Done. Your name has been updated in the land records. Download the certificate now |
| Rejected / Nirakar | Not approved. The reason should be mentioned. Read it carefully before reapplying |
| Under Hearing / Sunwai Mein | A hearing has been scheduled. You may need to be present at the Block office |
| Objection Filed / Aapatti | Someone has challenged your application. This needs to be resolved before approval |
| Disposed / Nistarit | The case is closed. Check whether it was approved, rejected, or withdrawn |
If the government portal is not cooperating — which honestly happens a lot — Bihar Bhumi Seva at biharbhumiseva.com is a much smoother option. It is not a government website, but it is built specifically to help Bihar residents navigate all these land record services without the usual headaches.
You go to the platform, select the mutation tracking service, enter your district, block, and application number, and your status appears. It is faster, works well on mobile, and does not crash every hour like the government portal sometimes does.
Bihar Bhumi Seva also has WhatsApp support if you are confused at any point — which is something the official Bihar Bhumi site definitely does not offer.
This is more common than you would think. Files get stuck. Officers are overworked. Sometimes there is a minor issue in the application that nobody told you about.
If your online mutation Bihar application has been pending for more than 30 days, take these steps:
Do not just keep checking the status and hoping it will change on its own. Take action after the 30-day mark. A simple visit to the Block office with your application number is often all it takes to get things moving again.
| Problem | What to Do |
|---|---|
| Application number not showing any results | Try searching by name or plot number on the same page |
| The website keeps crashing or not loading | Use Chrome, clear your cache, or try between 6 AM and 8 AM when traffic is low |
| Status stuck on pending for over a month | Visit the Block office or file a grievance online |
| Status shows rejected, but no reason is given | Visit the Circle Officer's office to get a written explanation |
| The mutation certificate is not downloading | Try from a desktop computer and use Chrome's built-in PDF viewer |
How do I check my mutation status in Bihar without an application number?
Go to lrc.bih.nic.in, open the Online Mutation Status page, select your district and block, and use the search by name or plot number option instead of the case number field. Your application should still come up.
Is there a fee to check the Dakhil Kharij status online in Bihar?
No. Checking your mutation status on the Bihar Bhumi portal is completely free. You do not need to register, log in, or pay anything.
What happens if my mutation application is rejected in Bihar?
Read the rejection reason on the portal first. Most rejections happen due to missing documents or minor errors. You can correct the issue and reapply. If you think the rejection is unfair, you can appeal before your DCLR office within 30 days of the rejection date.
Can I check the mutation status in Bihar on my mobile phone?
Yes. The Bihar Bhumi portal works on mobile, though it can be a bit slow. For a better mobile experience, Bihar Bhumi Seva at biharbhumiseva.com is fully optimized for phones.
How long does online mutation take in Bihar in 2026?
Officially, it should be completed within 21 working days. In reality, it takes anywhere from 3 weeks to 3 months, depending on the district, officer workload, and whether any objections have been raised. Staying on top of your dakhil kharij status online is the only way to catch delays early.
Mutation is one of those things people keep putting off after buying land — and it almost always causes trouble later. If your dakhil kharij application is still pending, do not wait. Check your mutation status in Bihar online today, figure out where it stands, and take whatever next step is needed.
Your name in the government land records is what truly makes you the legal owner of that property. Everything else is just paperwork until that happens.

It is built for exactly this kind of work and will save you a lot of time and unnecessary trips to government offices.
