How to Check Property Ownership in Pakistan Online

Checking property ownership in Pakistan has always been an issue of concern for landowners. Conventionally, people have to go to Patwaris and government offices for checking the ownership of their lands. As Pakistan is a progressing country, it is incorporating technology in different sectors to grow and progress hand in hand with the rest of the world. The initiation of checking property ownership online has taken place in the Sindh and Punjab provinces of Pakistan. It is expected that other provinces will soon engulf online land records in the footsteps of Punjab and Sindh. The electronic portal managed by the revenue authorities of these provinces is The Land Record Management Information System (LRIMS) in Punjab and the Land Administration and Record Management Information System (LARIMS) in Sindh. In this blog, we will discuss how to check property ownership in Pakistan and what are the benefits of this. 

Steps to Check Property Ownership Online in Pakistan

Checking property ownership online in Pakistan is very simple, and you can do it by following the below-mentioned easy steps:

• First and foremost, you can only check property ownership in Pakistan if you belong to Sindh or Punjab province. 
• Now, depending on the area you belong to, visit the website of Sindh Zameen or Punjab Zameen. 
• After landing on the homepage of either of these websites, you will be required to follow certain steps to choose some sections and fill in different fields. 
• Among these steps, you will first be asked to select the district in which you own the land. You can select your district from a top-down menu. 
• After selecting your District, you will be asked to select your Tehsil or Taluka. This drop-down will be present right next to the first one. 
• After selecting the Tehsil/Taluka of your possessed land, you will have to select the exact area of your property from another menu. 
• Afterwards, you will have to define how you want to search the exact land. These sites have three by default options i.e., search a property by CNIC, search a property by Name, or search a property by property number (khewat number). 
• After completing all the mentioned steps, you will only have to click the search button. You will get your desired results. 

These easy-to-follow steps will help you in checking the ownership of your property online without having to roam around the Patwaris and other government officials. Now, we will discuss some benefits of checking property ownership online in Pakistan. 

Benefits of Digitization of Property Records in Pakistan

Online property ownership checking allows individuals to quickly and easily access information about a property, including the current owner, the property's value, and any liens or mortgages. This can be beneficial for a variety of purposes, with the following being the top most:

Real Estate Transactions: 

Online property ownership checking can provide potential buyers and sellers with important information about a property before a sale takes place.

Financial Planning: 

Knowing the value of a property and any outstanding mortgages or liens can help individuals plan for their financial future.

Genealogy Research:

Online property ownership records can provide information about ancestors who owned property, allowing individuals to trace their family history as well as their relatives. 

Legal Proceedings: Online property ownership records can be useful in legal proceedings where the land record is required or a court has to give a verdict in a land case. 

Tax assessment: Online property ownership records can be used to verify the ownership of a property and assess the property taxes.

Overall, online property ownership checking provides easy access to important information and can save time, effort and money. Previously, people had to go to Patwar Khanas in Pakistan which led to corruption in many cases. Online checking of land ownership will decrease this kind of corruption and help individuals in tracing their lands. The government of Pakistan should ensure the transparency of this system where it is present and enhancement of it in provinces where this service is not present.
