Question

Discuss why land records are compulsory.

Answer 1

There are several reasons for which land records are compulsory. Suppose a farmer wants to buy a plot or field, he will need to authenticate it. This can be done through the use of land records. If a farmer wants a loan from a bank to dig a well in his land, he has to show the land record to prove that the land belongs to him. Moreover, these records are also essential for the buying and selling of their property and the division of it among his children.
