The Government of Punjab and Sindh have computerized Land Records to improve service delivery and the perceived level of tenure security. The government of Punjab has set up the Punjab Land Records Authority (PLRA) through which one can check property ownership. PLRA provides services for you to check property ownership in Punjab online and for Sindh, you can check your property ownership status at sindhzameen.
Follow these steps to check property ownership:
- Go to Punjab Zameen or sindhzameen to check property records online in Punjab or Sindh respectively.
- Select your area, tehsil, and district from the drop-down list.
- Enter your property number or CNIC number to check your property ownership in Pakistan.
A few years ago, checking property ownership was a long process that involved tens and hundreds of visits to the Patwaris and office of the Board of Revenue. There was no online service to check land records or ownership. The system was centuries old and had many loopholes which were the cause of rampant corruption inland and property-related matters.
To nip the corruption in this department and make the process of property ownership easier, the Government of Pakistan brought an online system for land and property records. Unfortunately, this system is not available in all the provinces of Pakistan.
Only the governments of Punjab and Sindh provide this online facility to check your property ownership status. Below is a guide on how to check property ownership in Pakistan online.
Checking Through Punjab Land Record Authority (PLRA)
PLRA has computerized the land and property records. If you own a property in Punjab, you can access the records online through the Land Records Management Information System. PLRA manages all the property and land-related matters in the province.
You can access All the records of land and property on the official website of Punjab Zameen. Here are the steps to check the property and land ownership in Punjab:
