Context:

• Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Puri launched e-Dharti app where all the three modules- Conversion, Substitution and Mutation related to properties have been made online. The payment system in Land and Development Office, L&DO has also been completely digitized. Work is also going on other three small modules namely Sale Permission, Mortgage Permission and Gift Permission will be completed soon.
• The public can now submit their applications online by visiting the L&DO website and are not required to visit this office for submission of them and for follow up of their applications. Housing and Urban Affairs Minister also launched e-Dharti GeoPortal, through which the lessee of the property will be able to see the basic details of property along with map showing its location. The lessee can also be issued a Property Card from this office about his property if he asks for it.  This application will not only benefit public but the Government also in getting to know the actual status of its vacant properties, whether there is any encroachment on the property.
