The Central Government’s SVAMITVA Yojana (Survey of Villages and Mapping with Improvised Technology in Village Areas) gives village homeowners a proper legal document for their house. It was launched by the Prime Minister on 24 April 2020, National Panchayati Raj Day, and rolled out across the country in April 2021. Under this scheme, drone surveys create an accurate map of the village’s inhabited (Abadi) land, and every homeowner gets a Property Card — the card is the Record of Rights for that house.
What the property card gives you
The property card is government proof of ownership of your village house. With it, taking a bank loan becomes easier, buying and selling the house becomes easier, and property disputes reduce. The card records the house’s boundaries, area and the owner’s name. In several states, women have also been given co-ownership rights on the card — Haryana is one of those states. Note that the card covers only inhabited (residential) Abadi land; agricultural land does not come under it.
How much work is complete
As of 19 March 2026, drone surveys had been completed in 3.29 lakh of 3.44 lakh villages across the country. 3.10 crore property cards had been prepared for 1.87 lakh villages, and 2.65 crore cards had been distributed. Work in Haryana is 100% complete — all 6,260 villages in the state have been surveyed and 25,15,646 cards have been prepared and distributed. The scheme covers 31 States and Union Territories.
How the card is made — no application needed
There is no separate application under the SVAMITVA scheme. The government surveys village by village: first the village is notified, then the drone survey maps it, then ground verification and enquiry take place, and finally the state Revenue Department issues and distributes the Property Card. The card’s status can be checked on svamitva.nic.in. Once the card is ready, a digital copy is also available through DigiLocker — Aadhaar verification is required for that.
How to get your card in Haryana
All villages in Haryana have their cards ready, so if you have not received yours yet, contact your Gram Sachiv, BDPO office or the nearest CSC — they will help you get the card. The detailed steps to download the card, what is written on it and how to get an error corrected are given in a separate post on our site — see the Haryana Lal Dora Property Card Download post. Do not pay anyone for the card — this facility is free.
