ISLAMABAD: The digitisation of land records in Islamabad has gained significant momentum, with 24 mouzas fully scanned, digitised, and officially notified, a meeting chaired by CDA Chairman and Chief Commissioner Mohammad Ali Randhawa was informed. Regular computerised fards are now being issued for these mouzas, marking a major step towards modernising property management in the capital.

Out of a total of 114 revenue estates in Islamabad, the scanning and data entry process has been completed in 95 estates. The initiative aims to streamline land record management, improve transparency, and protect citizens’ investments in real estate. The digitisation project is part of a broader effort to modernise property transactions in the city.

The meeting highlighted that an additional 11 mouzas are expected to be fully digitised and notified within the next two weeks. Once completed, regular computerised transactions will begin in these areas, further enhancing efficiency and reducing delays in land administration services.

CDA records are also being digitised at a rapid pace. Scanning of documents in key departments including Estate Management I, Estate Management II, Estate Affairs, BCS, and Revenue Record has been largely completed. Soon, one entire sector of Islamabad will serve as a model of fully digitised land records, showcasing modernised urban governance.

Chairman Randhawa emphasised that digitisation is crucial for safeguarding property rights and ensuring that citizens’ investments are secure. The meeting also reviewed progress on the launch of e-stamp papers, with staff training already completed to facilitate the transition to digital property documentation.

The chairman directed that public training on e-stamp paper usage should be arranged promptly. A detailed schedule will be issued to educate citizens on the facility, ensuring that residents can benefit fully from the digital transformation of Islamabad’s land records and property management system.
