## ANSWER

## MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE (SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)

(a) & (b) Government of India has been implementing a comprehensive programme for  digitization  and  computerization  of  land  records  and  registration  processes  in the  country  by  the  name  of  Digital  India  Land  Records  Modernization  Programme (DILRMP)  with  100%  financial  assistance  from  Central  Government  since  201617.   The  DILRMP  has  been  extended  for  a  period  of  five  years  from  01.04.2021  to 31.03.2026. As of now, 99.78% digitization of the existing land records (Record of Rights) have been completed in the country.  Some of the areas of NE States do not have land records like  other  States  due  to  community  ownership  issue  and  UT  of Ladakh has started digitization in last couple of years. So far Rural area has been mainly covered under DILRMP. State-wise progress is attached as Annexure.

To  digitize  land  records  in  Urban  areas,  an  initiative  named  National  Geospatial Knowledge-based Land Survey of Urban Habitations (NAKSHA) programme is being implemented  in  a  phased  manner  as  a  PILOT  for  creating  land  records  in  urban areas  with  Survey  of  India  as  technical  partner  for  aerial  survey  and  feature extraction work followed by ground truthing by State/UT. The NAKSHA PILOT phase with a financial outlay of Rs.193.81 crore is being implemented in 26 States and 3 UTs across 152 cities/urban local bodies. It is envisaged to implement this program on  full  scale  after  the  completion  and  outcomes  of  the  PILOT  phase,  subject  to coordination with State Governments and technological infrastructure readiness.

(c) Computerized  registration  system  with  provision  for  online  entry  of  deed, online valuation, online payment, online appointment slot booking, online admission, document search and certified copy generation is promoted across all States under DILRMP.   National  Generic  Document  Registration  System  (NGDRS)  software  has been  developed  for  this  purpose  and  adopted  by  15  States/Uts  (viz.  Andaman  & Nicobar Island, Assam, Chhattisgarh, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Delhi, Goa, Himachal Pradesh,  Jammu  &  Kashmir,  Jharkhand,  Ladakh,  Maharashtra,  Manipur,  Mizoram, Punjab  and  Tripura).  As  of  now, 14  States/Uts  (viz.  Andhra  Pradesh,  Chandigarh, Gujrat,  Haryana,  Puducherry,  Rajasthan,  Telangana,  West  Bengal,  Uttarakhand, Sikkim,  Kerala,  Madhya  Pradesh,  Uttar  Pradesh  and  Tamil  Nadu)  have  started sharing registration related data with national portal of NGDRS- www.ngdrs.gov.in through API /UI.
