Kerala Pokkuvaravu — Land Mutation & Document Search

Pokkuvaravu is the Malayalam term for mutation — the formal update of Kerala's village land register (Thandapper) when ownership changes through sale, gift, inheritance, partition, or court order. It is the post-sale step that links the registered sale deed to the Revenue Department's village records.

District, Taluk, and Village (mandatory), then Survey number with sub-division — or Block/LP number for Re-Surveyed villages — plus the Thandapper number, sale deed reference, or owner name.

Current and pre-mutation Thandapper holders, Survey/Block with area, land classification, sale-deed reference (SRO, doc number, year), mutation date and Tahsildar/Village Officer reference, and any pending Pokkuvaravu applications.

The sale deed is the legal transfer document registered at the Sub-Registrar. Pokkuvaravu is the Revenue Department's mutation — it updates the village land register (Thandapper) with the new owner's name. Until Pokkuvaravu is done, the village records still show the old owner even after sale-deed registration.

Typically 30–90 days from application. Delays happen when the sale chain is incomplete, signatures from co-owners are missing, or there are objections from neighbours / co-claimants.

Thandapper is Kerala's village land register account — the record of who owns each parcel in a village. Pokkuvaravu updates the Thandapper when ownership changes. The Thandapper number identifies the account.

Older records use Survey No + Sub-Division (e.g. 123/2). Kerala's Re-Survey introduces Block No + Land Parcel (LP) numbering with GPS-based polygons. Both refer to the same physical plot; some villages have completed Re-Survey, others still use the older numbering.

Yes. Aggrieved parties — co-heirs, prior buyers, claimants — can file objections during the public-notice period and after the order is passed. Appeals lie with the Revenue Divisional Officer (RDO) and the District Collector.

Effectively yes for any practical use of the land — bank loans, name-change in property tax, applying for building permission, or sub-sale all require the buyer's name to be on the Thandapper. Skipping Pokkuvaravu creates a gap between registered title and revenue records.

Yes — the report includes the current status of any pending application linked to the property, the village officer in charge, and any objections filed.
