Lahore — In a major step toward digital governance, the Punjab government has made it possible for citizens to access their land records from home in seconds, eliminating long waits and middlemen. Under the Punjab Urban Land Systems Enhancement (PULSE) project, property registry documents are now fully downloadable via an online portal.
The PULSE initiative is built around a Unified Land Information System, which integrates GIS-based parcel mapping with official land ownership data. This helps match geographic boundaries with formal registry details, reducing land disputes and increasing transparency. As part of the rollout, the government has digitized more than 151 million pages of registered deeds, covering over 836 housing societies and roughly 874,000 land parcels.
To use the system, citizens visit the PULSE portal and enter details such as their city, tehsil, CNIC, buyer’s name, and registry number. The “RoD Archives/Records” section allows users to view and download their land documents, including fard (ownership certificates), mutation records, and registered deeds.
Moreover, Punjab Land Record Authority (PLRA) has made things even easier via a mobile app named “Punjab Zameen.” Through the app, users can order fard copies, check their property verification, and book appointments at Arazi Record Centers, all from their smartphone.
This move has significant implications for transparency and efficiency. Citizens no longer need to rely on patwaris or visit record offices; a digital solution now brings accurate land data to their fingertips.
In parallel with this land record digitization, the Punjab government is also pushing ahead with infrastructure projects. For instance, the province recently announced a Rs 30 billion signal-free corridor project to improve traffic flow across major areas. This shows how Punjab is combining digital governance with physical infrastructure upgrades to modernize the province on multiple fronts.
