What is Land Record?
Land Records in India have evolved over centuries. The Land revenue was the main
source of revenue for Indian rulers and then for British. The present form of preparation
and maintenance of Land Records originated during Mughal period.
It is very difficult for a common man to understand their own records of rights.
Corruption and lack of transparency are other issues associated with Land Records
in India. Government of India realized these problems and started National Land
Records Modernization Program (NLRMP) with the aim to standardize and computerize
all land records in India in a phased manner. Under NLRMP all land records and related
services are being made online. Few states have already computerized their land
records while some are in the process.
What is National Land Records Modernization Program?
The National Land Records Modernization Program (NLRMP) is launched by Government
of India in August 2008, aimed to modernize management of land records, minimize
scope of land/property disputes, enhance transparency in the land records maintenance
system, and facilitate moving eventually towards guaranteed conclusive titles to
immovable properties in the country. The major components of the program are computerization
of all land records including mutations, digitization of maps and integration of
textual and spatial data, survey/re-survey and update of all survey and settlement
records including creation of original cadastral records wherever necessary, computerization
of registration and its integration with the land records maintenance system, development
of core Geospatial Information System (GIS) and capacity building.
Objectives of National Land Records Modernization Program
The main objective of the NLRMP is to develop a modern, comprehensive and transparent
land records management system in the country with the aim to implement the conclusive
land-titling system with title guarantee, which will be based on four basic principles,
that is as follows:
- A single window to handle land records (including the maintenance and updating of
textual records, maps, survey and settlement operations and registration of immovable
property)
- The mirror principle, which refers to the fact that cadastral records mirror the
ground reality.
- The curtain principle which indicates that the record of title is a true depiction
of the ownership status, mutation is automated and automatic following registration
and the reference to past records is not necessary.
- Title insurance, which guarantees the title for its correctness and indemnifies
the title holder against loss arising on account of any defect therein.
