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).
