LAHORE (AIA) Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has ordered the digitization of land records across the province, emphasizing the need for essential reforms.
She issued these directives while presiding over a special meeting related to the Board of Revenue Reforms, during which a briefing was given on the Punjab Urban Land Systems Enhancement (PULSE).
The CM instructed relevant departments to collaborate during the land digitisation process. The participants were informed that the land record digitisation process is being undertaken with the cooperation of the World Bank under the ‘Plus Project.’
The Punjab Land Record Authority and Management of Estate Land presented a business plan for owner-based digitalisation of all neighbourhoods (mouzas) in Punjab. The new system aims to make revenue system more transparent through the partition of land and parcel documentation.
The meeting was informed that properties that are clear in every way will be marked as green by the government, while properties that have problems will be marked as blue and red.
The proposal to abolish the joint property system will be seriously reviewed. Legal complications will be reduced with the allotment of a separate property number to every seller. The record of rights-holders (FARD), ownership and land transfer systems would be simplified after the digitalisation process.
Overseas property transfer service for the overseas Pakistanis will be reviewed. FARD, Mutation, E-Girdawari, and registration facilities will be provided in the Overseas Property Transfer Service.
