Note: A few States have not implemented the Scheme due to various reasons, such as preexisting legacy data or similar programs already in place. Sikkim, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu participated only in the pilot phase with a few villages but opted not to continue due to preexisting records. Bihar, West Bengal, Meghalaya, Nagaland, and Chandigarh have not yet signed the MoU for scheme implementation. West Bengal and Kerala have reported that records of rights for residential properties already exist as part of rural land records. Odisha and

Assam are conducting surveys in a limited number of villages due to pre-existing records. The scheme is currently on hold in Jharkhand. In Delhi, the Scheme has been implemented in 31 villages, but property cards are yet to be prepared.
