As part of the digital India reforms, the Revenue Department of Assam has introduced Digitally Signed Land Pattas under Mission Basundhara. Landowners no longer need to run after circle offices to get a physical signature on their land documents. A digital patta carries the same legal weight as a physical one.
Here, I will explain what a digital patta is and how you can download it online using your mobile phone.
What is a Digital Patta?
A Digital Patta is an electronically generated land lease document (Periodic Patta) that contains a secure digital signature and a unique QR code. It is directly linked to the state's digital land records database (Dharitree). The QR code can be scanned by banks, registry offices, or courts to verify the authenticity of the document instantly, preventing fraud.
