Chandigarh's Deputy Commissioner and Estate Officer has set a firm March deadline to complete the digitisation of the city's property records. The project, which began last September, has already scanned around 16 lakh estate office papers and 17 lakh sub-registrar office records, but more work remains to meet the deadline. The digitisation process includes scanning, proofreading, verification, and quality checks. Officials are closely monitoring progress to ensure accuracy and timely completion. Once done, this digital repository will improve transparency, simplify access, and speed up property record retrieval for citizens and departments.

The record-digitisation project began last September and forms part of the UT administration's effort to modernize public record management. So far, around 16 lakh estate office papers and 17 lakh sub-registrar office records have been scanned. The project covers both estate and registry files and is being carried out across multiple public record offices in the city.
The initiative includes systematic scanning, proofreading, and verification of each record to ensure reliability and accuracy. Officials have been instructed to maintain stringent quality standards while digitising approximately 20 lakh estate office documents and 26 lakh sub-registrar office records.
Yadav highlighted that the digitised records will serve as a reference for multiple departments and public use, allowing faster verification and retrieval of property information. He also stressed that strict monitoring and progress updates are essential to meet the deadline and maintain record integrity.
The administration believes that creating a fully digital property record repository will enhance transparency, reduce dependency on physical documents, and make record access simpler for citizens. The project is also expected to support internal departmental functions, improve service efficiency, and minimize errors in property transactions.
Officials have been asked to focus on completing the remaining work efficiently, ensuring all scanned records are cross-checked and authenticated. This digitisation effort represents a key step in Chandigarh's long-term plan to modernize public record systems and improve overall administrative efficiency.
