All land records to go digital 7/12 Extracts,Mutation Records Will Be Available Online
Property owners in the state can get online copy of the 7/12 extract of their land and also keep track of mutation entries that notify changes in ownership of land over the years.
A new system called e-records and e-maps promises to change the way land records are maintained in the state.The system will not only simplify the process of record keeping but also provide collateral benefits.
Once fully implemented,which is likely to happen by 2015,people across the state will be able to view outlines of properties online and even take print-outs on making necessary payments.This governance model has proved financially self-sustainable and holds the promise of becoming a trendsetter for e-governance projects in
Maharashtra Settlement Commissioner and director of Land Records Chandrakant Dalvi has fixed October 2,2015 as the deadline for making all land records digital.
The pilot project started at the Mulshi tehsil office two months ago.It is a joint initiative of the Inspector General of Registrations,revenue department and the land records department.Dalvi supervised the operations in the office on Friday where over 30 lakh old documents were being scanned.
This will enable citizens to get computerized notices of land transactions and complete the procedures of updating land documents within minutes.The system enables a horizontal connectivity between offices of the sub-registrar,the tehsildar and the city survey, said Dalvi.
Real estate developer Pranav Purohit,however,sounded skeptical.The step is welcomed but the problem lies with implementation.We have seen so many disputes over ownership in spite of earlier initiatives of the government with similar objectives, he said.But Purohit accepted that information in the form of e-records will come in handy when deciding about acquisition of new land parcels.
A senior bank official also doubted to what extent digitisation of land records will help a housing finance company or a bank in deciding eligibility for disbursing housing loans.He said that banks and home finance institutions follow guidelines set by the Reserve Bank of India and National Housing Bank.A lot will depend on whether the norms are changed to allow financing bodies to accept digital evidence about land ownership when granting a loan.If they do,the banks will be able to process a home loan proposal faster and with greater surety, he said.The official agreed that availability of an online record of land will make sure land records are not tampered with.
The e-records and e-maps software has been provided by Pune-based Vidhya Online Centre.As per the plan,about 20 million records of land ownership,involving six million farmers,will be digitized across the state.The system should be operational throughout the state within a time frame of three years.
Dalvi said the operators of the computerised system will be made accountable for their actions by using a biologin system that authenticates every login through a thumbprint.A log is maintained of all transactions in a session.
The present system shows the actual outline map of a property along with the structures in it,the area,the survey number and ownership.Land records form the base for all land reforms and therefore regular online updating of land records is essential.e-records and e-maps software will help do it,"said Dalvi.
Hard copies of land records available with government departments since 1930 have been handed over to the resp.department heads.
