E-registration of properties to ensure ‘transparency’

PLRA holds staff training exercises as it launches e-registration in 90% of Punjab districts

LAHORE:

Punjab Land Records Authority (PLRA) Director General of the Saira Omer has said e-registration initiative aims to preserve and facilitate the easy transfer of public properties while ensuring the security of revenue records.

She expressed these views while announcing the completion of training for officers and officials, including deed-writers, regarding the e-registration of property records in all districts of Lahore, Rawalpindi, Gujranwala, Gujrat, Sahiwal, Multan, Sargodha, and Bahawalpur.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, she mentioned that the training process will be concluded next week in the districts of DG Khan and Faisalabad divisions.

This e-registration initiative aims to preserve and facilitate the easy transfer of public properties while ensuring the security of revenue records.

It has been implemented in 90% of the districts, significantly enhancing the transparency and efficiency of property transfer.

Manual registration is no longer possible in the districts where training has been completed, as adherence to the prescribed procedures is mandatory, she said.

The DG PLRA provided insights into the automated process of e-registration, where citizens can enter registration details on a computer either personally or through a deed writer and submit them online to the sub-registrar.
