Buying or selling real estate is a major investment. Unfortunately, forged documents and fraudulent transactions are common. Digital land record systems run by provincial authorities allow citizens to check the Record of Rights (Fard‑e‑Malkiat) and registry documents online. This makes property transactions safer and more transparent. Whether you live in Punjab, Sindh, KP or Balochistan, you can verify ownership from your home, just as easily as exploring the history of Mohenjo‑daro on the web.
Quick Steps
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Collect property details (registry number, owner name, location) |
| 2 | Visit the provincial land records portal (e.g., PLRA, Sindh Zameen, KP Land Records) |
| 3 | Enter details and search the Record of Rights |
| 4 | View and download the Fard or registry document |
| 5 | Cross‑verify with the local revenue office or housing society |
Why online verification is important
Online verification saves time and helps prevent scams. It allows buyers to see who actually owns the property, whether there are liens or disputes, and when the last transfer occurred. Instead of relying solely on a paper registry book, you get a digital record that can be printed and validated at the local land revenue office. The system is available 24/7 and reduces reliance on intermediaries.
