Revenue minister Dr. N Raghuveera Reddy on Saturday informed the state Legislative Assembly on Saturday that the state government proposes to replace pattadar pass books with tamper-proof PPBs.
Replying to a question raised by TDP MLA R Chandrasekhar Reddy during Question Hour, the minister said that the project would be implemented in three districts of Ananthapur, Warangal and Prakasam on on pilot basis, in furtherance to the project of the issue of e-pattadar pass books. Once the legality of modernisation has been established, the issuing of e-pattadar pass books will take place, he said.
The minister also said that there was a proposal to integrate the Revenue and Registration departments to update the records. He said that the land record data of Revenue and Registration departments are being integrated to update land records. Once the transaction is registered, automatic transfer proposal for mutation will be carried at the tahsildar level as per provisions of the AP Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971.
"The entire process of issue of fool-proof e-Pattadar Pass Books is being done for more transparency. The integration of land records data of the Revenue and Registration departments, and updation of records by automatic mutations, will result in transparency, security and time-bound issue of records. This will protect the interests of land owners, and will reduce or avoid litigations," he said. (INN)
