Punjab will eliminate the role of multiple departments involved in the process of land ownership registration and will bring it under one umbrella for the first time in the history of Pakistan.
There are almost ten departments responsible for land ownership and revenue records, and the provincial government is working to streamline a system to issue certificates of land ownership through only one department.
The Punjab Revenue Department (PRD) has collaborated with the World Bank to introduce a digitized system to issue ownership certificates to landowners.
