As per the PMO office, the launch by the Prime Minister will enable around 1 lakh property holders to download their property cards through the SMS link which will be delivered on their registered mobile phones. Under the scheme, the property cards will be provided to every household in the next 3 to 4 years.
The move by the central government will pave the way for using the property as a financial asset by the villagers in order to take loans or for other financial benefits. It will also help in reducing disputes over land property.
