What is a "Fard" and Why Do You Need It?

In simple terms, a Fard (فرد ملکیت / Record of Rights) is the official government document that certifies exactly who owns a piece of land or property in Punjab, how much area they hold (measured in Kanal, Marla, and Sarsahi), and their specific shares in a village settlement or urban mahol.

Before the computerized Land Records Management and Information System (LRMIS), people had to search for the local village Patwari and wait days for a handwritten manual paper. Today, the Punjab Land Records Authority (PLRA) has computerized land records across all 36 districts of Punjab. You can now download your authentic computerized Fard online with a machine-readable barcode and QR code.

1. For Buying & Selling

Fard Baraye Baye (فرد برائے بیع)

Required before registering any sale deed or executing an Intiqal (mutation). It temporarily freezes the land parcel so the seller cannot double-sell the property to multiple buyers.

2. Proof of Ownership

Fard Malkiat (فرد برائے ریکارڈ)

Used as legal evidence for personal records, foreign visa applications, building approval plans, or utility meter connections (electricity, gas, tube well).

3. Loans & Court Surety

Fard Zamanat (فرد برائے ضمانت)

Required when offering property as collateral for commercial bank loans, agricultural credit, or court surety bail bonds (ضمانت).

Frequently Asked Questions (Punjab Fard Online)

Kya Punjab mein Fard online mil sakti hai?

Yes! Punjab Land Records Authority (PLRA) provides official online Fard issuance through their portal (punjab-zameen.gov.pk) and the Punjab Zameen mobile app. You can search by your 13-digit CNIC, pay the fee online via ePay Punjab / 1Link, and download a computerized Fard with an authentic QR code.

Punjab online Fard ki sarkari fees kitni hai?

The official government fee for issuing a computerized Fard for personal record or verification (Fard Baraye Malkiat) is PKR 150 to PKR 250 per copy. Payment is made directly through government 1Link / ePay Punjab channels without any middleman or agent fees.

Online Fard nikalne mein kitna time lagta hai?

If your CNIC is already linked to your land record at an Arazi Record Center (ARC), obtaining a Fard online takes less than 5 minutes. You search your record, pay via mobile banking, and get an instant downloadable PDF. If visiting a physical Arazi Record Center, the process takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes with biometric verification.

Computerized Fard ki legal validity kitni hoti hai?

A Fard issued for personal record (Fard Baraye Malkiat) remains a valid proof of ownership unless a new mutation (Intiqal) takes place. However, a Fard issued specifically for property sale (Fard Baraye Baye) or court surety (Fard Baraye Zamanat) typically has an active validity window of 30 to 90 days as per PLRA and Registration rules.

Agar online CNIC se record na mile toh kya karna chahiye?

If your record does not show up online by CNIC, your old manual revenue record (Jamabandi) may not yet have your computerized CNIC linked to your name. You should visit your local Tehsil Arazi Record Center (ARC) or Dehi Markaz Maal (DMM) with your original CNIC and old manual Fard/registry to have your CNIC registered in the computerized database.
