The NLCS, in pursuit of efficient service delivery has implemented an online land transaction system called eSakor to expedite the process of land conveyance. This system is accessible to every individual citizen of the country. However, a land transaction is a task that not everyone is expected to engage on a regular basis. Therefore, landowners and other interest holders can avail the services of private facilitators on payment of a fee. The private facilitator takes on the responsibility to ensure that all the documentations are complete and due legal process is followed, finally culminating in the approval of the transaction and issue of new land title certificates.
Recently the ‘surveying’ part of the transaction process—plot sub-division along with demarcation surveys have also been regularized for private conduct through certification of some surveyors as “Certified Cadastral Surveyors” upon completion of a training conducted by NLCS. Earlier these surveys could only be done by NLCS surveyors.
