Chennai:
In a significant step that simplifies checking land records using technology, Tamil Nadu government today announced that a mobile application would be launched enabling verification of land documents.
Tamil Nadu Revenue Minister RB Udhayakumar told the State Assembly that "AMMA e-service of Land Records," an improved web based system to check land documents would be launched.
Under the improved facility, a Mobile Application "AMMA" (Access and Manage through Mobile from Anywhere e-service of Land Records) could be downloaded. It would enable verification of details like land classification, and patta number, he said.
"By using the facility, the Patta and Chitta copies can be downloaded and by utilising the Q R Code, the authenticity of such documents can be verified through the mobile phone," he said.
Visiting the taluk office for getting such records certified by authorities there will not be needed, he added.
Tamil Nadu government already has "Anytime, Anywhere e-services of Land Records," facility through which the land documents may be checked.
