Land Record Services

The Land Record system in the Indian subcontinent is almost 476 years old credited to the name of Mughal ruler Sher Shah Suri, who introduced the patwari system. As the years passed by the upcoming rulers and the Indian government played a very vital role in reforming this system. Things further improved when computers hit the subcontinent, thus bringing a big change to how records were maintained earlier. The Computerisation of Land Records (CLR) is one of the earliest initiatives of e-Governance in India, at the grass-root level. The focus of the entire operation has always been to employ state of art information technology (IT) to galvanize and transform the existing land record system of the country.

The central government made different societies at the state level to facilitate the people further. Punjab Land Records Society is a society established by the Government of Punjab to formulate strategies, policies, plans and to assist the State Government and Government of India in their effort to provide efficient and prompt services in public matters. This Society is a State level body being constituted specifically to manage the Land Records. Now if we talk about local people or residents of India, things are still in their reach as they have to deal with the system on a daily basis but when things come to people residing outside India, the system gets complicated as the know-how is less and they are dependent on strangers to guide them right.
