Punjab Introduces Green Property Certificate – Step-by-Step Guide

The Punjab government has launched the new “Green Property Certificate” system in Sialkot, with plans to expand it to other districts in phases. The initiative, introduced under the Punjab Land Records Authority (PLRA), is aimed at making land records more transparent, reliable, and easy to access.

How to Get a Green Property Certificate

Citizens can now apply for a Green Property Certificate through a nearby Arazi Centre.
The process includes:

1. Submitting an application.

2. Verification of ownership.

3. Property survey.
   Once the process is completed, the certificate will be issued.

Survey Charges

To make things easier for people, the government has announced that the survey will be free of cost for the first month.

Why This Matters

Officials say the new system will:

• Eliminate forgery and land disputes.

• Provide secure and authentic property documents.

• Ensure digital verification, preventing alterations.

Key Benefits of the Green Property Certificate

According to PLRA, the initiative brings several benefits:

• Reliable property documentation for owners.

• Easy access for overseas Pakistanis.

• Simplified verification for banks and financial institutions.

• Protection against fraud.

• Electronic signatures for added authenticity.

The Punjab government believes this step will modernize land records and build greater trust in the property system.
