Unique Land Parcel Identification Number
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
Being India is an union of states, Stamps & Registration associated powers are vested with union government (union List) and land records maintenance powers are vested with state governments (state list). This powers distribution leads different types of land records maintenance process in different states while some states had better land records where as some states had poor records and maintenance. One more issue with the present land record management system is that land and corresponding records along with taxes collection are dealing and managed by many departments.
- Land & properties are registered by Sub Registrars as per the provisions in Registration Act 1908.
- Records of Rights are maintained by State revenue departments.
- Field maps, Cadastral Maps are managed by state land surveying departments.
- Forest land administered by Forest department.
- Urban land records and Tax collection managed by Municipalities and Municipal Corporations.
To address this fiction and functional overload with in different departments and different states, the National Informatic Center is conceptualized and implementing the ULPIN project as part of Digital india land records modernization program india wide in phased manner[6].
