CHANDIGARH, NOV 27 

The Haryana 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 is carried out as per the land records made through Satellite and Global Positioning System.

           This was stated by Additional Chief Secretary, Revenue Department Mr. Krishan Mohan while presiding over the departmental meeting  at Rohtak today. Earlier, he launched the queue management system and digital signatures service for property registration in the district.

           Mr. Krishan Mohan said that 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 that all the land records registered on about five crore pages would be digitalized and would be kept in these record rooms. This massive digitalization work of land record of five crore  pages is in process in the state, he added.

 Mr. Krishan Mohan said that Haryana is a leading State in the Country in the modernization of  Land Records.  Digitalization of land records would immensely save the time of the people and also of the Revenue Officers.  Now the people would not  have to wait for long for the registration of their properties. 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 added.

           Mr. Krishan Mohan said that from today onwards the work of digital signature has been started in the district after which Patwari was not required to be present for signature on Nakal. He said that the 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.

          He said that keeping in view the good work of Haryana in the field of land record modernization, the Central Government has approved a sum of Rs. 100 crore for the next five years.
