What Is Rectangulation (Killa Bandi) in Punjab? Complete Land Record Reform Explained

we explain the complete process of Rectangulation (Killa Bandi) in Punjab and how it improves land records, reduces disputes, and simplifies agricultural planning.

Rectangulation is a land record reform process where old irregular agricultural fields are re-measured and reorganized into proper square “Killas.” During this process, a new Jamabandi is prepared, and old Khasra numbers are replaced with new Killa numbers. However, ownership rights remain unchanged.
