Amarinder launches Punjab's e-properties module

Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh today launched PUDA 360, an e-properties module to facilitate online property transactions.

It is aimed at bringing greater efficiency and transparency in the functioning of Punjab Urban Planning and Development Authority (PUDA).

It would go a long way in providing seamless services to the people in property related matters, said the CM in a release here.

The online process would also make e-auction more convenient and give a common platform to the promoters, builders, individuals for advertising their projects.

Besides improving the delivery of PUDA services, it would help check delays in sanction of building plans, issuance of no objection certificates, issuance of conveyance deeds and transfer of property, among other things. All these services are currently offered offline, the release said.

Dedicating the online services to the people, the chief minister said the applicants would now get the option of submitting applications through online or offline systems. The facility would save precious time and money for the allottees, he added.

Housing and Urban Development Minister Tripat Rajinder Singh Bajwa told the chief minister that the module would be web-based and would also be available as an mobile application.

The module would also act as an advertising medium for the promoters and builders who, by registering on it, would be able to publicise their projects.

Besides, the promoters and the individuals could also avail the facility of selling, renting and leasing out their properties by posting information of their property on the module, the minister explained.
