DHAKA, April 6, 2025 (BSS) - Following the urgent instructions of Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus, piloting of an improved version and easy-to-use software of e-mutation has already begun in 19 land circles of Dhaka district as part of the rapid progress of land digitisation.

Under the Information and Communication Technology Division, four types of land services have also been made available online for the country's people. 

The services are: LD Tax (nationwide), e-mutation (pilot phase, 19 circles of Dhaka), e-parcha, e-khatian and mouza map (across the country). 

The LD Tax service has been opened across the country. Meanwhile, land revenue collection of about Taka 200 crore has already been completed, said a press release of the Chief Adviser's Press Wing.

To ease suffering of people, instead of providing digital land services in separate software systems, the interim government has taken an initiative to launch a modern 'Land Service Gateway' by interconnecting four services, including LD tax, e-mutation, e-parcha and e-khatian. 

This will not require separate registration for the services. If this single service gateway is opened to all land circles across the country, it will be possible to provide land services to citisens more easily, the press release said.

Since e-mutation is systematically linked to the judicial process, as well as involving multiple organisations and departments, more adequate piloting is needed to simplify the procedural aspects of this service and simplify the e-document system.

Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus and his office, Senior Secretary of the Ministry of Land ASM Saleh Ahmed and Special Assistant to the Chief Adviser (in charge of the Ministry of Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology) Faiz Ahmed Taiyeb are working jointly on the transformation of land services.

In the next phase of land service digitisation, training will be provided to private entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs of the union parishad digital centres. Through this, there is a plan in place to open online land services to entrepreneurs at the union parishad and ward levels.

Over 70 percent of the total cases and crimes, which are under trial in courts of Bangladesh, are related to land ownership, occupation, dispossession, acquisition and transfer. 

In such circumstances, the interim government is committed to making land services available to citizens as quickly as possible through an easy-to-use software, the press release said.
