To meet the requirements of Digital Land Records and Cadastral Mapping Punjab Board of Revenue decided that all the joint khata/khewat are partitions according to land owner.  Before this project Punjab Board of Revenue collect fee for this purpose. Any one or all joint khata submit an application to Revenue Officer concern under section 135 of Punjab Land Revenue Act 1967. Now The Punjab Board of Revenue exempt the fee application submit under section 147 of Punjab Land Revenue Act 167. Which is as under:

147- Affirmation of partition privately effected.– (1) In any case in which a partition has been made without the intervention of a Revenue Officer, any party thereto may apply to a Revenue Officer for an order affirming the partition.

      (2)  On receiving the application, the Revenue Officer shall enquire into the case, and if he finds that the partition has in fact been made, he may make an order affirming it and proceed under sections 143, 144, 145 and 146, or any of those sections, as circumstances may require, in the same manner as if the partition had been made on an application to himself under this Chapter. 

Partition in land revenue refers to the division of land between co-owners or joint tenants, typically in response to a dispute or mutual agreement. It involves the apportionment of both the land and the associated revenue liability, which is the tax or fee owed to the government. When land is partitioned, each party is given a distinct portion of the property, and their share of the land revenue is adjusted accordingly. The process ensures that each individual is responsible for the land tax corresponding to their share of the property, allowing for clearer ownership and easier management of the land.

 After completing this project 99% cases of possession in Civil Court being address and every person knows about its property because the Government of Punjab shift the hole systems on it.
