The party or parties thereof shall also record their consent online for the transfer of registry.

(4) On receipt of an online application under sub-rule (3) in the Integrated Land Information Management System, the Village Officer concerned shall summarily verify the declaration made therein and cause the verification of possession of the transferor.

The decision of the appellate authority thereon, shall be final.

(6) A digitally prepared pre-mutation sketch incorporating thandaper account details can be issued only with the online approval of both the Village Officer and the Head Surveyor in the ILIMS.

(7) A digitally prepared pre-mutation sketch incorporating thandaper account details shall be issued only when the proposed transfer of land is apparently not to the detriment of any of the following, as revealed from the declaration of the party or parties to the transfer and the village records: (a) Government interest on land, (b) the legal protection available to members of Scheduled Tribes, (c) order of any court restraining alienation, (d) prohibition in the original registered document against alienation of the property by the transferor or his predecessors-in- interest, (e) restriction on alienation of land laid down in any of the enactments including those pertaining to members of Scheduled Tribes, land assignment, land conservancy, land acquisition and land reforms, (f) principles of the relevant laws of succession and (g) the rights of persons guaranteed under the National Trust for the Welfare of Persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation and Multiple Disabilities Act, 1999 (Central Act 44 of 1999).

(8) After the registration of documents through the ILIMS based on a digitally prepared pre-mutation sketch incorporating thandaper account details, notwithstanding anything contained in rule 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 of Transfer of Registry Rules 1966, automated transfer of registry (auto-mutation) in the ILIMS will be effected in case of voluntary transfer of title (including those of sale, gift, settlement of an absolute nature devoid of conditions, partition, release and exchange) and transfers by decrees of Civil Courts or Revenue sales which are uncontested and not requiring enquiry. The registering officer of the registration department, in the case of settlement documents executed with conditions that forbid immediate transfer of registry, shall route them to follow the conventional mutation process in ILIMS instead of auto-mutation.

(9) In the case of transfer of registry of land situated in a digitally surveyed village that does not involve the registration of an instrument as above, as in the case of transfer of land on account of succession including operation of will, land assignment, adverse possession, relinquishment, escheat, vesting of land by virtue of law, takeover of excess land, land acquisition and resumption, conventional mutation process in ILIMS will be followed. In the case of contested and uncontested cases of any nature requiring enquiry, transfers due to succession including the operation of will and adverse possession, the enquiry procedure laid down in rules 9, 10, 11, 14, 27 and 28 of Transfer of Registry Rules 1966 as applicable shall be followed and decided. Thereafter, transfer of registry following the conventional mutation process will be effected in ILIMS.

(10) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-rule (8), in case of land parcels involving land record maintenance (LRM) complaints filed online in ILIMS after digital survey, instead of auto-mutation only the conventional mutation process will be followed in ILIMS.

(11) In cases of land transfer where it is not possible to effect sub-division on the ground, if the document is registered jointly in favour of the transferees, the transfer of registry may be done jointly in the names of the transferees based on a digitally prepared pre-mutation sketch incorporating thandaper account details without the creation of sub-divisions.

(12) In the ILIMS, for the registration of documents and transfer of registry of apartments (residential flats) or shops and establishments involving undivided share of land, a digitally prepared pre-mutation sketch incorporating thandaper account details (as in vogue from time to time) without the creation of sub-divisions based on undivided share of land of such apartments (residential flats) and such shops and establishments, will be used.

(13) When lands involved in a transaction are situated in more than one village and where one of them is a digitally surveyed village and the other is not, separate documents for registration (one document for the digitally surveyed village through ILIMS and the other document for the non – digitally surveyed village in the conventional manner) may be prepared for the two types of villages by the party or parties to the transfer. Alternatively, where a single document is preferred, the parties may apply under sub-rule (3) in the ILIMS for the issue of a digitally prepared pre-mutation sketch incorporating thandaper account details in the digitally surveyed village and proceed to register the document with the registering officer concerned linked to the ILIMS. Where such a single document is preferred and so registered through the ILIMS, while transfer of registry of lands situated in the digitally surveyed village will be done in the ILIMS, the details pertaining to the transfer of registry of lands situated in the village which has not been digitally surveyed will be passed on by the ILIMS to such village for the transfer of registry in the conventional manner outside the ILIMS.

(14) An appeal against an automated transfer of registry (auto-mutation) under this rule shall vest with the Tahsildar, as if, the automated transfer of registry is an order passed by the Village Officer concerned. All appeals against transfers of registry (automated or otherwise) under this rule, shall be dealt with as per the relevant provisions in rules 18, 19, 20 and 21 of Transfer of Registry Rules 1966. Decisions thereupon, shall be reflected in the ILIMS.

(15) Rule 16 of Transfer of Registry Rules 1966 will apply to all transfers of registry made under rule 30.

(16) Periodical reports on transfer of registry in the village records in digitally surveyed villages shall be generated from the ILIMS.”

(2) After ‘Form IB’ appended to Transfer of Registry Rules 1966, the following Forms shall be added, namely,

Explanatory Note

(This does not form part of this notification, but is intended to indicate its general purport.)

The Integrated Land Information Management System (ILIMS) is a single-window, webbased digital system in the ‘Ente Bhoomi’ portal that seamlessly integrates the land related services of the Departments of Land Revenue, Survey and Land Records and Registration.Digital Survey records are being prepared and notified across the State. The ILIMS will be implemented in digitally surveyed villages where digital survey records have come into effect under the provisions of section 13 of the Kerala Survey and Boundaries Act, 1961. A digitally prepared pre-mutation sketch incorporating thandaper account details is mandatory for the registration of any instrument under the Registration Act, 1908 (Central Act 16 of 1908) that involves the transfer of land situated in a digitally surveyed village as per rule 30 C of Registration Rules (Kerala), 1958. Documents pertaining to voluntary transfer of title, sale certificates and decrees of Courts are registered under the aforesaid Registration Act and Rules. Automated transfer of registry (auto-mutation) following the registration of certain documents by the registering officer is an integral part of ILIMS. Other documents will follow the conventional mutation process in ILIMS. Provisions are also made in ILIMS to cater to transfer of registry of land (that is in cases that do not involve the registration of documents) on account of succession including operation of will, land assignment, adverse possession, relinquishment, escheat, vesting of land by virtue of law, takeover of excess land, land acquisition and resumption. Transfer of Registry of undivided share of land pertaining to apartments (residential flats), shops and establishments is also to be addressed. Procedure for effecting the transfer of registry in digitally surveyed villages through the Integrated Land Information Management System has to be laid down in the Transfer of Registry Rules, 1966. Hence, the Transfer of Registry Rules, 1966, are to be amended to provide for transfer of registry in digitally surveyed villages entirely through the Integrated Land Information Management System in the ‘Ente Bhoomi’ Portal.

In the above circumstances, the Government have decided to amend the Transfer of Registry Rules, 1966, suitably. The notification is intended to achieve the above object.
