Being described as the Aadhaar for land, Unique Land Parcel Identification Number (ULPIN) is a 14-digits alphanumeric unique ID for each and every land parcel in India.[1] This ULPIN project concept was taken from Bhudhaar project in Andhra Pradesh[2]. It will be used as single source of truth for land records in near future as it uniquely identify every surveyed land parcel in india based on the Textual records of rights (RoR) along with its corresponding geo coordinates[3]. The ULPIN Project was announced in October 2020[4] and it is planned to assign an ULPIN to all land parcels in India by March 2022.[5]

History

In India, Stamps & Registration associated powers are vested with union government of India (Union List) where as land records maintenance powers are vested with respective state governments (state list). This powers distribution leads different types of land records maintenance process in different states. With years of management in land records leads some states had better land records where as some states had poor records and maintenance. Also land records management system along with taxes collection are managed by many departments causing administrative overlap.

- Records of Rights are maintained by State revenue departments.

- Field maps, Cadastral Maps are prepared and managed by state land surveying departments.
