Introduction The Mera Ghar Mere Naam Scheme was initially launched by the Punjab Government in the year 2021. It is administered by the Punjab Revenue Department to record proprietary rights for eligible residential properties situated within notified Abadi Deh areas, commonly associated with Lal Lakir or Lal Dora areas of villages and towns. The scheme follows a government-led survey and verification process, including drone-based mapping, preparation of property records and resolution of objections. After verification, eligible property holders can receive a Record of Rights and property card. The initiative is governed by the Punjab Abadi Deh (Record of Rights) Act 2021 and the corresponding Rules of 2021. This is a property-record initiative rather than a financial assistance scheme. It does not provide cash grants, monthly payments or Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). Property records may help owners use their property for lawful transactions or financial purposes, subject to applicable laws. However, a record under the Act is not conclusive proof of ownership and may remain subject to correction, appeal or judicial proceedings. Benefits Official property records: Helps eligible residents get their proprietary claims recorded for properties in notified Abadi Deh areas. Record of Rights: Provides for preparation of an official record for each surveyed property unit. Property card: Eligible owners can obtain a property card after the required verification and record preparation. Property mapping: Surveying and digital maps help identify property boundaries, dimensions and individual survey units. Objection facility: Provides a process for raising disputes or reporting errors related to property boundaries, area or recorded rights. Support for property transactions: Verified records may help with eligible property transactions and loan or mortgage applications, subject to applicable requirements. Digital access: The official system provides an online facility to access property cards using OTP authentication. Note: The scheme does not provide financial grants or DBT payments. A recorded proprietary right is not conclusive proof of ownership and may be subject to correction, appeal, revision or a competent court's decision. Eligibility Eligibility is primarily determined by the property's location and the validity of the claimant's proprietary rights. The property must be situated within an Abadi Deh area notified by the Punjab Government under the applicable Act. The claimant must be found by the competent authority to be the person entitled to have the proprietary claim recorded for the relevant survey unit. The claimant should provide relevant information or supporting documents when requested during the survey and verification process. The claim must comply with the applicable provisions of the Punjab Abadi Deh (Record of Rights) Act 2021 and Rules 2021. The scheme does not prescribe a general income, age, BPL or caste-based condition for recording proprietary rights, according to the supplied scheme information. Documents The scheme does not specify one universal document checklist for every applicant. The revenue authorities may consider relevant records depending on the property and the nature of the claim. Property-related records: Documents or written evidence supporting the property's boundaries, area, dimensions or classification. Proof of proprietary claim: Relevant documents supporting the claimant's right to be recorded as the proprietor. Additional evidence: Any further records requested by the Survey Officer or the competent revenue authority during verification. Note: The documents required may vary according to individual cases.
