Six Revenue Department services now available on portal: Patiala DC

Six essential services of the Revenue Department are now available online through the ‘Easy Jamabandi’ portal, offering citizens the convenience of accessing services from home. These include obtaining “jamabandi” via WhatsApp, applying for “intkal” (mutation), “rapat” entry, “fard badar” (record correction) and more, said Deputy Commissioner Dr Preeti Yadav.

She said these digital initiatives would significantly reduce the need for physical visits to Patwaris or government offices, saving time and promoting transparency. The Deputy Commissioner reviewed the implementation of the services during a meeting with District Revenue Officer Navdeep Singh and DSM Sukhmandar Singh, stressing the importance of creating awareness so that more people can benefit.

Explaining the process, she said that anyone can now visit easyjamabandi.punjab.gov.in and get a digitally signed “jamabandi” copy with a QR code — valid for official use and verifiable across platforms.

For “intkal”, she said mutation after land registration will now be processed automatically within 30 days. For older or inheritance-based mutations, citizens can apply online and track the status through the portal and WhatsApp. She further explained that “rapat” entries, which relate to court orders or loan matters, can now be submitted digitally without visiting the Patwari. Court-related entries will be processed within one day, and loan-related within seven days.

With regard to “fard badar”, Dr Yadav noted that any record corrections, such as changes in name or land area, can be requested online and completed within 15 days.

To ensure land safety, the Punjab Government has introduced a ‘Subscribe to Your Land Record’ feature. By subscribing to their “khewat” number for Rs 500/year, landowners will receive real-time alerts via WhatsApp or email if any change is made. They can raise objections instantly, which will reach the revenue officer concerned.
