Reports reveal that the scope of the project is to be expanded to other missions as well. These land record services aim to facilitate the expatriate community. To this effect, the PM had given directives to the Punjab government at least a year ago. In its aftermath, the Punjab Land Record Authority (PLRA) and Foreign ministry initiated work on the project. The project was approved in October 2019.
