Hyderabad: Aadhaar seeding of revenue data of agricultural lands, property tax data of buildings and vacant land tax of open plots will help identify original owners of properties and flush out benami property holders, said officials on Monday.
Till date Aadhaar seeding has been used to weed out bogus beneficiaries of both state government schemes and crop loans and to identify property tax defaulters.
With the amended Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Act coming into force from November 1, Aadhaar seeding data of property tax has become vital for identification.
UIDAI deputy director general, Mr M.V.S. Rami Reddy said, “AP has completed 90.95 per cent of pattadars of Chief Commissioner of Land Administration Webland and TS is also in the process of speeding it.
Only few data pertaining to people living outside the state and NRIs is yet to be seeded in AP. Once it is seeded with Aadhar, the property or land can be tagged to a particular person. As per Section 57 of the Act, the state may enact rules for the use of the Aadhaar number for any purpose.”
