The Uttarakhand Revenue Council has developed six web portals related to the departmental work of the Revenue Department. Chief Minister Dhami inaugurated these portals on Saturday. These six web portals include e-Bhulekh (updated version), Bhu-Naksha, Bhulekh Ansh, Bhu-Anumati, Agri Loan, and e-Recovery Portal (e-RCS Portal). This will now make Revenue Department services available to the public online, including the facility to obtain online verified land records (Khatauni).
Specifically, under the e-Bhulekh portal, services related to land records, particularly Khatauni, can now be obtained online from home as a verified copy, with the prescribed fee paid online through a payment gateway, instead of having to visit the Tehsil office. Previously, people had to visit the Tehsil office to obtain a certified copy of the Khatauni, which resulted in extra time and resource consumption. Now, this facility is completely available online.
Under the Bhulekh Ansh portal, a separate database is being prepared for the individual shares of account holders and co-account holders recorded in joint accounts and consolidated accounts in the state’s land records. This will pave the way for the creation of a farmer registry for the state’s farmers.
In this process, the caste, gender, and identification number of the account holders are also being compiled in the land records, which will enable the creation of an integrated database of land records in the future. Under the Bhu-Anumati portal, the process of obtaining permission for land use/land development for industrial and agricultural purposes in the state has been made completely online. Through this portal, the process of obtaining permission for land purchase for agriculture and horticulture in Haridwar and Udham Singh Nagar districts of the state, as per land laws, has been completely digitized.
Under the Agri Loan portal, the process of obtaining permission for land use/land development for industrial and agricultural purposes in the state has been made completely online. The process for farmers to obtain loans from banks against their land for agricultural and related activities has also been made completely online. Now, farmers or landowners can apply for loans through the portal. After loan repayment, the charge will be automatically removed upon the bank issuing a No Objection Certificate (NOC).
By making the revenue collection process completely digital through the e-recovery portal, banks or concerned departments can now send cases for recovery from their defaulters to the Collector online, allowing for tracking of the entire recovery process at every stage. Additionally, the facility to view land maps (cadastral maps) in the public domain free of charge has been provided under the land map portal.
Chief Minister Dhami said that in accordance with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision, maximum convenience is being provided to the common people through science, IT, and AI. He said that the launch of these web portals will provide great relief to citizens. Their lives will become simpler, and they will not have to visit offices repeatedly, saving them time. The state government is working with the resolve of simplification, solution, and resolution. The online availability of new revenue-related services under Digital India is a significant step.
CM Dhami said that this will not only bring transparency to administrative work but will also allow citizens to avail themselves of other revenue-related services, including land records (Khatauni), from the comfort of their homes. Services related to land records, primarily Khatauni, can now be obtained as a verified copy online with online payment, instead of having to visit the Tehsil office. The process of obtaining land use/land work permission for industrial and agricultural purposes in the state has been made completely online. The facility to view land maps (cadastral maps) in the public domain free of charge has also been provided.
CM Dhami said that the new version of the six web applications has been upgraded using modern technologies in line with the spirit of Digital India, the goals of a developed India and a developed Uttarakhand, and the demands of the times. This initiative will increase administrative transparency and citizen convenience, thereby promoting both ease of doing business and ease of living.
