The government has decided to enable farmers to obtain loans from credit agencies by electronic verification of the land records without insistence on physical verification of pattadar pass books.
The government has made an amendment giving effect to this provision in the Telangana Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books (amendment) Act, 2018 substituting the word pattadar passbook with “electronically maintained pattadar passbooks” in the principal act.
“The credit agency shall grant loan on the basis of ROR 1-B maintained electronically without insisting in pattadar passbook cum title deed,” the amendment notified in the Gazette said.
The development comes in the light of the assurance given by Chief Minister that farmers would forthwith be not inconvenienced with insistence on production of the physical document of pattadar pass books.
Another amendment giving powers to tahsildars to correct clerical errors, if any, on the request of the pattadar or any person interested in the land in the pass book had also been incorporated in the principal act.
Notification
According to the notification, any person acquiring any right by succession, survivorship, inheritance, partition, govt. patta, decree of a court or otherwise should intimate in writing the acquisition of right to the tahsildar within 30 days from the date of acquisition.
On noting the acquisition in his jurisdiction, the village revenue officer should intimate the tahsildar within one day as prescribed.
The tahsildar should in turn give or send a written acknowledgement of receipt of such intimation to the person making the request.
In case of minors acquiring the right, his guardians or other persons with charge of his property should intimate the tahsildar about the acquisition.
