Property owners can easily check property online by CNIC, thanks to the Punjab Land Development Authority and Sindh Land Record Management System. Buying or inheriting real estate is exciting until you have to untangle decades‑old paperwork.

Luckily, most provincial governments in Pakistan now let you check property online, pull a fard (record of rights) and even inspect registries from your laptop. Below is a single roadmap that answers the questions readers ask most about online land searches in Punjab, and Sindh.

How to Check Property Online in Punjab

Punjab’s Land Records Authority (PLRA) has digitised millions of rural records. If you own, or are eyeing, a plot anywhere from Lahore to Bahawalpur, follow these steps:

1. Open https://www.punjab-zameen.gov.pk/.
   
2. Choose Land Record (Fard) and pick district → tehsil → mauza.
   
3. Enter your Khewat number or CNIC.
   
4. Pay the small e‑service fee.
   
5. Download a digitally signed PDF fard with QR code.

Verification of Property Online by CNIC – Does It Really Work?

Yes, you can check property details online using your CNIC, but only if the property record is properly linked to your ID. In Punjab, you can use the “Owner” tab on the Punjab Land Records website to search by CNIC. In Sindh, the “Search by Owner” option is available on the Sindh Zameen portal.

For Islamabad (ICT), the property verification system is connected with NADRA, so CNIC-based searches usually work well. However, if your search shows no results, don’t worry try using the plot number or registry number instead, as many urban property records are still being updated online.

How to Get a Fard (Record of Rights)

Apply online for a PDF or at an Arazi Record Center for a printed copy.

Property Verification in Sindh

The Board of Revenue hosts the website to check property ownership here. Visit https://sindhzameen.gos.pk/.

1. Pick district → taluka → deh/ward.
   
2. Enter survey number or owner name.
   
3. Hit Search to see area, tenure and encumbrances.
   

Plots inside housing societies may need a no‑demand certificate from the society office; then cross‑check the mother survey on Sindh Zameen.

How to Check Land Ownership Online in Urban Punjab

Urban plots use extra tools:

• E‑Stamp Verification: Enter the 16‑digit ID at https://es.punjab.gov.pk/ to confirm the stamp paper is genuine.
  
• LDA e‑Khidmat Ledger: For Lahore schemes, verify past owners or building violations.

Combine these with your PLRA fard for a full picture.

Pro Tips & Common Pitfalls

1. Name Spelling: Match NADRA names exactly.
   
2. Old Maps: Always request the latest tatima shajra (site plan).
   
3. Maintenance Windows: Portals often go down Friday night; search mid‑week to avoid delays.
   

Which Numbers Matter Most?

Enter the wrong number and you’ll either pull the wrong file or get “record not found.” When in doubt, try two or three variants, the portals don’t limit searches.

Safety Checklist Before You Pay

✔ Use official .gov.pk or .gov.in domains. Scam look‑alike sites charge bogus fees.
✔ Match digital signatures. Genuine fard PDFs carry a revenue officer’s signature line.
✔ Cross‑check tax receipts. Unpaid property tax is a red flag; ask for the latest challan.
✔ Hire a lawyer for final due diligence. Portals simplify screening but don’t replace a full title search.

Digitisation has shrunk a weeks‑long ordeal of ownership verification into a coffee‑break task to check property online, if you know where to click. Keep this guide handy, type your CNIC carefully, and let a five‑minute online search protect you from multi‑million‑rupee fraud. For more informative blogs visit 360 Buzz.
