Make Aadhaar number compulsory for land registration: Khemka

CHANDIGARH: Hours before he was removed from the land consolidation department, Haryana's whistleblower IAS officer Ashok Khemka had framed a few novel rules to put an end to fraudulent benami land deals in the state.

In his last-ditch effort to rein in land sharks, Khemka, the then inspector general of registration, on October 10, made the Aadhaar number issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India mandatory for registration of land deals in Haryana. The next day he was transferred to the Haryana Seed Development Corporation. 

According to Khemka, it was for the first time in the country that Aadhaar numbers of both the seller and buyer were made compulsory for land registration. 

Justifying the move, Khemka wrote to the government: "There are fraudulent transactions where a party sells the same property more than once. There are benami transactions where black money is recycled to evade the clutches of law. Use of Aadhaar number will help indentify all immovable properties of an individual across the state. This rule would be brought into force after a year (from October 1, 2013)," so as to give the parties concerned ample time to obtain their Aadhaar number. 

The rules also made a gram panchayat resolution and subsequent approval of the state mandatory for transfer of panchayat or shamilat land (common land). 

According to the new rules, "No transfer of possessory rights on gram panchayat or shamilat land will be registered unless authorized by a resolution of the gram panchayat and approved by the registrar." 

During the inspection of land records of some villages, Khemka found "huge misappropriation of panchayat land". "The government may consider compiling the list of misappropriated panchayat land by way of changed ownership or unauthorized possession," he added. Khemka had also recommended a judicial inquiry into the "large-scale misappropriation of panchayat land despite several judicial verdicts".
