Why in News?

On 6 May 2023, moving in the direction of good governance from e-governance, the Haryana State Government started the digital signature Jamabandi i.e. e-Fard system in the state to provide great relief to the people.

Key Points

• With the implementation of the e-fard system, people will no longer have to visit the Patwari's offices to get their jamabandi's signed fards, rather people will be able to obtain digitally signed fards i.e. copies through the www.jamabandi.nic.in portal.
• It is known that earlier to get fard one had to go round the Patwaris, even though it used to take months but now this work is done in minutes sitting at home.
• It is worth mentioning that the state government launched the www.jamabandi.nic.in portal on 25 December 2022. The service charge for one Fard is Rs.100 only and Rs.10 for the first Khewat & Rs.5 for each subsequent Khewat.
• The Jamabandi portal acts as a single window for land record-related information. Apart from e-fard, all information related to land data such as Khasra, Khatauni land map, property registration, stamp duty calculator, etc. services is being made available on this portal itself.
• In all the 143 tehsils/sub-tehsils of the state, land records management works have been computerized using the web-halris system and all revenue record rooms have also been computerized.
• Digital revenue record rooms were established at all the district headquarters and state headquarters of the state. Under this new initiative, important revenue records & documents have been scanned and indexed & kept in digital boxes in modern record rooms. For this, 18 crores 50 lakh documents have been scanned. With the help of I.T., it is now easy to maintain records and find them when required.
