The Punjab government has directed all private housing societies to transfer their complete property transaction records to the Housing Society Management System.
The provincial government has taken this step to strengthen property ownership documentation across the province.
According to the compliance notice, the issuance of Property Certificates for buying and selling property has officially begun.
The government has stated that in all public and private housing schemes in Lahore, the Property Certificate will now serve as the legal proof of ownership.
The government notice directs owners and managements of private housing schemes to upload their complete purchase and sale records to the HSMS by August 31, 2026.
Officials said the new system is designed to improve transparency in property transactions.
The Property Certificate will be linked with NADRA records, digital mapping systems, and the e-Registry platform. This integration is expected to help reduce fraud and strengthen verification of ownership.
The notice warned that housing societies failing to meet the deadline may face legal action under the LDA Act 1975.
Enforcement measures could include the sealing of society offices and the registration of legal cases against non-compliant managements.
The government further announced that several private housing schemes in Lahore have already completed the transfer of their property records to the HSMS.
