In a move which could help new owners of land and property in Haryana, the State Government is contemplating to introduce a new system of land records under which the registration of property would automatically lead to entry into the mutation, zamabandi and Sajra.
Also, the demarcation of land will be carried out as per the land records made through Satellite and Global Positioning System. Presiding over a departmental meeting in Rohtak, Revenue Department Additional Chief Secretary Krishan Mohan said modern record rooms would be set up right from the Tehsil level to district level in the near future and a sum of Rs 25 lakh would be spent on each of it.
He said all the land records registered on about five crore pages would be digitalised and would be kept in these record rooms. This massive digitalisation work of land record of five crore pages is in process in the state, he added. Earlier, he launched the queue management system and digital signatures service for property registration in the district.
Krishan Mohan said Haryana was a leading State in the country in the modernisation of land Records. “Digitalisation of land records would immensely save the time of the people and also of the Revenue Officers,” he said. With the implementation of this queue system, the people would get a specified date and time for the registration work.
The Revenue Officer would also have to remain available in the office on the prescribed time to complete these works. He said from now onwards the work of digital signature had been started in the district after which Patwari was not required to be present for signature on Nakal. He said copy of Nakal having concerned digital signature would be made available to the applicant on the payment of a specified fee and this copy would also be acceptable in the court.
