Collector Land Transfer | Collectors Land in Mumbai and Transfers

In Maharashtra, Collector Land refers to land owned or allotted by the Collector (District Authority) under certain conditions. These lands often come with usage restrictions, lease terms, or conditions like non-transferability without prior permission. When such land needs to be sold, transferred, or inherited, permission from the Collector Office is mandatory.

When is Collector Land Transfer Required?

• Sale or purchase of government-allotted land

• Transfer by inheritance (succession or will)

• Leasehold to freehold conversion

• Subdivision or partition of land

• Change of land use or user rights

Process of Collector Land Transfer:

1. Application to Collector Office

   • Submit request in prescribed format (often via Form I & Form X)

   • Clearly mention details of land, parties, and nature of transfer

2. Submit Required Documents

   • Title documents, past allotment orders, tax receipts, and ID proofs

   • Encumbrance certificate and NOC from concerned authorities (if applicable)

3. Site Inspection & Verification

   • Conducted by Revenue Inspector or Tahsildar

   • Verification of use, boundaries, and compliance with conditions

4. Payment of Transfer Charges / Premium

   • A certain transfer fee or premium is charged by the Collector’s office

   • The amount depends on market value, type of land, location, and usage

5. Final Approval Order / Sanction Letter

   • Issued by the Collector or District Deputy Collector

   • Only after this, the sale deed or gift deed can be executed

Documents Required:

• Original allotment / lease deed

• 7/12 extract or property card

• Mutation entries

• Tax paid receipts (property / lease rent)

• Identity proofs of both parties

• Draft transfer deed

• Power of attorney (if applicable)

Charges & Timeline:

• Transfer Charges: Usually 10%-25% of Ready Reckoner Value, depending on nature of land and type of transfer

• Time Required: Approx. 2 to 6 months, depending on district and document completeness

Why Legal Help is Important:

• Collector land transfers are legally sensitive and time-bound

• Any mistake can lead to cancellation of allotment or penalty

• A legal expert ensures proper documentation and communication with government offices
