Chandigarh, July 2

The UT Estate Office has started the work to link all urban and rural land records with Aadhaar number. 

In the initial phase, Sector 16 and two villages, Tatarpur and Bairmajra, are being taken up. Officials of the Estate Office are visiting door-to-door in these areas for Aadhar seeding relating to commercial and residential properties.

The project is being executed under the Digital India Land Record Modernisation Programme.

Deputy Commissioner Ajit Balaji Joshi said Chandigarh would be the first state where the urban land records would be linked to Aadhaar number. After the trial in Sector 16 is successful, other sectors would be covered in a phased manner.

Joshi said the move would help identify the actual land owners and prevent frauds in land dealings. He added that with Aadhaar details linked to the property, the parties involved in any property transactions would be identified and the authenticity of such transaction could be verified.

The process of digitisation of urban and rural land records at the Estate Office has almost completed. Soon, residents would be able to track the movement of the files. 

Joshi took up the task to make land records in Chandigarh linked with Aadhaar after successfully executing it in some parts of Jind district in Haryana.

Linking of Aadhaar number with land records is being taken as a big reform to curb corruption in the revenue department. It will be helpful in putting a check on fake registration and sale of land.

Sources said after the process was completed, the Estate Office would start geographical mapping of the land in the UT.
