PUNE: Property cards of 12,000-odd Kharadi flatowners would be uploaded on the Mahabhumi portal of the land records department within the next three months, with just the work of door-to-door inquiries pending for the city’s pilot project, officials with the settlement commissioner’s office told TOI on Friday.
The property card, besides the name of the owner, will also entail details of the deed of declaration. The department had decided to do away with 7/12 extracts in cities where the property survey has been completed and property cards issued. The project aims at curbing frauds in the real estate sector.
The officials said the work on survey, measurement and mapping of the area conducted using high-tech machines, rovers and drones was complete. “Just the work of door-to-door inquiries remains in Kharadi, a task which has been assigned to 50 deputy superintendents from five districts. It is expected to get over within two-and-a-half months,” an official said.
In Wadgaon Sheri, which is also part of the pilot project, work has started on property assessment. “The project would be rolled out across the city in phases,” the official said, adding, “Citizens must ensure that their deed of declaration is completed for their properties.”
Settlement commissioner NK Sudhanshu took up the project after it was on standby for over 10 years.
Rajendra Gole, deputy director (urban land measurement) of the land records department, said a plan has been outlined to appoint deputy superintendents from Pune, Satara, Sangli, Solapur, and Kolhapur districts as inquiry officers. “The work will gain momentum in the coming year for these areas,” he said.
A computer system developed with the National Informatics Centre’s help was used for the pilot in Kharadi and Wadgaon Sheri. “Consequently, the Kharadi survey was approved by the civic body and completed within two months using modern technology. The prepared maps received civic body’s confirmation in Nov. Now, they can take it forward,” the official said.
A similar initiative will be implemented in other parts of the city, another official said. “The work is in process. Many citizens have reached out to us to check the progress of their area’s survey report,” the official said.
As a part of the project, the land records department will verify ownership before issuing the cards
Deputy superintendents from the Pune division will conduct this verification, with a target of completing the task within two and a half months
Once verification is complete, property cards will be uploaded on the Mahabhumi portal
Similar initiatives have been completed in Mira Bhayandar and Thane district where around 45,000 properties have been mapped, and property cards uploaded on the website
