New Delhi, March 25

Delhi Government has digitised the land records of 192 villages out of 224 villages in the capital. The computerisation of the land records in the rest of the villages are underway and due to some issues involved, including urbanisation of villages, the process has been slow.

The step is aimed at ensuring that citizens do not have to make rounds of the revenue offices to get land records apart from ensuring transparency in the system.

In a written reply to a question asked in the Delhi Assembly, Revenue Minister Kailash Gahlot said that the department is facing several issues, including urbanisation of some villages, in computerising land records of 32 villages and added that they will be resolved soon. No timeline has been fixed for digitisation of the land record of other villages.

Under the computerised system, the digitally signed papers of property are available in public domain and can be downloaded by citizens anywhere. Through this online database, people can get a view into the property land record and its legal status.
