Tracking mutation status in Cuttack: pipeline, deadlines, and escalation paths
Mutation in Cuttack runs through 7 Tahasildars, one per tehsil. A registered Sale Deed at an Cuttack SRO does not propagate to the Bhulekh ROR automatically — the Tahasildar must process the mutation case. Section 36 of the OLR Act sets a 45-day deadline; in practice Cuttack mutations routinely run 90-180 days.
