The Punjab Land Record Authority (PLRA) has launched a state of the art digital property verification platform that allows citizens to access their land ownership information securely, efficiently, and transparently. Through this system, users can now check property ownership, fard, jamabandi records, mutation status, and Green Property Certificates using their CNIC or property number.
This initiative represents a major step towards digital governance in Punjab, minimizing physical visits to land record offices, reducing bureaucracy, and promoting a paperless, fraud proof property management system.
