When you need it

A material land event needs a dated entry in the revenue daily diary (rapat) — a live Punjab portal service: the land, event date, facts, related deed/proceeding, and its relevance to a mutation, possession or boundary record. A rapat isn't a mutation, deed, court order or demarcation — a diary entry only, not proof of title.

REQUEST FOR A RAPAT ROZNAMCHA ENTRY

Request date: 2 April 2026

Applicant: Aarav Sharma, Sector 21, Panchkula.

Land: SAS Nagar, Kharar, Village Kharar; Khewat 114, Khatauni 226, Khasra 18//12 min.; 4 kanal agricultural land, full ownership share..

EVENT

Event type: Possession-related event. Event date: 1 April 2026. Facts requested to be recorded: Physical possession delivered after registered deed on 10 September 2026..

Supporting document/reference: Sale deed no. 2345 dated 10 September 2026.

Purpose: To create a dated revenue diary record of the event. Persons present/identifiers: Patwari visit with both parties present.

REQUEST

Please record the stated event in the appropriate rapat/roznamcha record according to the competent revenue process and provide the resulting reference where available.

This request does not itself determine ownership or replace a mutation, deed or judicial order.

LEGAL BASIS

In Punjab the Halqa Patwari keeps the Roznamcha Waqiati, the daily diary in which a rapat records an event affecting land, and the Patwari takes a rapat in it when a mutation is entered. A rapat does not change the record of rights and does not create title. Rapat entry has been one of the services on jamabandi.punjab.gov.in since the Easy Jamabandi initiative of 13 June 2025. In Chandigarh only the Union Territory's revenue villages keep this record; a sector property held from the Estate Office has none.

PERSONAL DATA NOTICE

This notice is given under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

Personal data in this document is collected only to request and retain a dated rapat or roznamcha entry for the stated land-record event, communicate about that purpose, verify expressly supplied land-record information and retain an evidentiary filing record.

A person named in this document may withdraw consent for future consent-based processing, request correction or erasure when the stated purpose has ended, or raise a grievance by writing to privacy@example.com. The record-holder should acknowledge and respond within 30 days.

Data minimisation: this document does not collect a full Aadhaar number, an Aadhaar-card copy, a password or unrelated financial information, and none should be written into it unless the receiving authority's own lawful verification process specifically requires it.
