Revenue Minister K. Rajan announced that ‘Property Cards’, incorporating all details about land parcels, will be rolled out in January 2026. Speaking at a regional meeting of Revenue officials in Kozhikode on Monday (February 3), he said the cards would include information on buildings within the land, tax details, specifications, and the nature of each plot. The initiative is part of the government’s efforts to digitise all services under the Revenue department.

The Minister also said that the government’s plan to distribute five lakh title deeds before the completion of the LDF government’s ten-year term will be fulfilled soon. He added that the previous LDF government had issued 1,80,777 title deeds, while 1.70 lakh deeds have been distributed during the current term. The government has passed an order to give away another 1.40 lakh title deeds in eight districts, with any pending issues to be resolved on a war footing, he added.

Meanwhile, a digital re-survey is underway across the State, with the third phase set to begin on February 14. The survey, conducted under the motto ‘Land for all, documents for all land’, is a model for the country. Discussions are also on regarding a national symposium for survey officials in other States upon the request of the Centre, the Minister said.
