The land records of 94% villages in Haryana have been digitised and integrated with property registration software (HARIS), the state’s revenue and disaster management minister Abhimanyu said, on February 9, 2017. Consequently, the land records of 6,603 villages of the state can now be accessed online.
Out of 7,088 ‘Jamabandis’ (land records) in the state, 7,010 Jamabandis have been computerised using the Haryana Land Records Information System (HALRIS) and the remaining 42 villages are under consideration, he said. The minister claimed that Haryana was the first state to integrate HARIS (property registration) and HALRIS (mutations and Jamabandi nakal), to provide a single interface for deed registration.

Abhimanyu said integrated property registration and land records, have resulted in minimising pendency of mutations. He added that the daily registration data was pushed to High Speed Data Communication (HSDC) and land record transaction data was synchronised in HSDC from HARIS and HALRIS centres.
The minister added that the government has also initiated a pilot project in Jind district, to develop a ‘modern, comprehensive and transparent land records management system’, based on the principle of authentication through linking with Unique Identification Number (Aadhaar), with the aim of implementing land titling system with title guarantee. Initially, eight villages of the district have been selected under the project, Abhimanyu said.
