Today with the click of Administrator UT, Chandigarh, the Record of Rights of 23 out of 25 Villages of Chandigarh is made available online. Now, more than 35,000 shareholders can access, check and even download their Ownership Record through any of the three search criteria’s i.e. Owner Name, Khewat No. or Khasra Number, at any location through internet. A link is made available online at Chandigarh Administration website http://chandigarh.gov.in/ . Now all the record is stored in digital format, it would keep the revenue record updated and put check on any irregularities in it.
Further, the Revenue Record has also been integrated with Sub Registrar Office, UT Chandigarh. This integration would initiate the mutation process automatically after the registration of document at SRO.
Currently, the Records of Rights (RoR) of the revenue land in each Hadbast (village) is maintained in a separate Jamabandi & Mutation register. Up till now, all RoR documents (25 Jamabandi & 25 Mutation registers) are maintained manually by the concerned Patwari of these villages.
Record of Rights/Jamabandi of each village (Hadbast) is required to be updated every 5th year as per Land Record Manual. However the updation of revenue record has been neglected so far for decades in UT, Chandigarh. Consignment of many Jamabandis were pending till now for more than 30 years.
