How to Check Property Ownership Online in Pakistan with PLRA

The provincial governments of Punjab and Sindh have started a revolution in their respective regions' land record systems in response to the government's stern position on the fair deal in real estate. The program implements extensive measures, such as the full computerization of land records in the provinces, to bring about a contemporary transformation that will improve the lives of the people. The updating of land records in Punjab and Sindh would contribute to the eradication of all types of land ownership disputes, one of the persistent problems with the current system.

The Process of Online Verification of Properties

 Online property records for Punjab and Sindh are available at Punjab-zameen.gov.pk and sindhzameen.gos.pk, respectively. From the drop-down list, we select our district, tehsil, and region. To discover who owns a piece of property in Pakistan, we enter  CNIC or property number. For a long time, it was challenging to determine who owned the property. No internet mechanism existed for users to check online land or property records. People under the previous system had to deal with patwaris. The former method was cumbersome and the primary reason for corruption in situations pertaining to real estate or land. The Pakistani government made the decision to create an online system for property and land records in order to reduce corruption and simplify the property ownership procedure.

Currently, Only Punjab and Sindh governments have started online facilities for checking property ownership. Hereunder, we will guide you on how to check property ownership in Pakistan online.
