The work of 'Registration-Mutation Interconnection' is expected to commence across Bangladesh in the first half of next year.
Land Secretary Md. Khalilur Rahman expressed this optimism while presiding over a training session on 'Coordination between the Ministry of Land and the Law and Justice Division for providing better land services' at the conference room of the Ministry of Land on Thursday.
Law and Justice Division Secretary Md Golam Sarwar was present as the resource person. Officials from the Ministry of Land and the Law and Justice Division participated in the training.
On March 29, the Prime Minister formally inaugurated the ‘Registration-Mutation Interconnection’ piloting program in 17 upazilas, which is now in full swing in those upazilas.
The land secretary mentioned that arrangements have been made to automatically complete the mutation after land registration following the purchase of land through 'Registration-Mutation Interconnection.' A digital system for determining land development tax has also been implemented.
Md. Khalilur Rahman also said that, due to the executive decision of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the proponent of Smart Bangladesh, it has been possible to swiftly complete this digital connection at the inter-ministerial level. This will reduce human suffering.
The land secretary further emphasized that land registration activities are conducted under the Law and Justice Division in the land management of Bangladesh. Land management and cadastral survey activities are carried out under the Ministry of Land.
Continuous coordination of work between these two ministries is crucial to ensuring the best use of land and providing people-friendly services through transparent, efficient, modern, and sustainable land management. Land Minister Saifuzzaman Chowdhury has prioritized this from the beginning.
Law and Justice Division Secretary Md Golam Sarwar said, 'The Registration-Mutation Interconnection is a landmark decision of the Honorable Prime Minister. Consequently, the scope of corruption will be significantly reduced. The number of civil and criminal cases related to land will decrease.'
He also mentioned that the Land Survey Tribunal has been quickly established with the help of the Ministry of Land."
