The Revenue department has commenced steps to digitise title deeds and introduce unique thandaper number (UTN) to check land frauds and enhance transparency in transactions.
Revenue Minister K. Rajan says the e-pattayams (title deeds) will have QR codes and digital signatures that are bound to simplify tracking land records and identifing the current landowners. The first batch of e-pattayams were distributed to 100 beneficiaries in Malappuram a day ago. The title deeds that have already been distributed will also be digitised in a phased manner.
Forging ahead with steps to digitise land records in the State, the government is also embarking on a mission to link Aadhaars with land records to allocate UTNs to landowners. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan will formally inaugurate the major modernisation reforms at a function that will be held at the Collectorate here on Monday.
