Mera Ghar Mere Naam: Free ownership rights for houses in Lal Lakir
Last Updated: 10 October 2026
Mera Ghar Mere Naam: free legal ownership certificates for houses inside village Lal Lakir[1]
-- 7 Oct 2026: certificates handed out at Dhuri; ~4,000 villages next, all villages and cities by December[2]
Earlier: No papers for houses in Lal Lakir, so no bank loans or legal protection[1:1]
How it works
- Drone survey of houses in notified abadi areas (started Jul 2022 in Dirba, Sangrur)[3]
- Door-to-door survey; maps drawn from the results[3:1]
- Ownership details verified after mapping[4]
- Certificate issued free; boundaries and records entered in revenue records[1:2][2:1]
Benefits[1:3]
- Bank loans against the house
- Easy repair/renovation & access to welfare schemes
- End to property disputes & uncertainty
Faster process (Cabinet decision, 20 Dec 2025)[5]
- Cabinet amended the Punjab Abadi Deh (Record of Rights) Act, 2021: Section 11 now says "within time notified by the Government" instead of fixed periods, and the time to file and decide objections is cut from 90/60 days to 30 days each
- Section 12(4): appeals decided in 30 days instead of 60
Example
