CM Revanth pushes for rollout of 14-digit Bhudhaar
Hyderabad: Chief minister A Revanth Reddy on Wednesday directed officials to prepare comprehensive plans for implementing Bhudhaar numbers across Telangana. The Bhudhaar number—formally called the Unique Land Parcel Identification Number (ULPIN)—is a 14-digit code assigned to each land parcel. Similar to Aadhaar for individuals, it serves as a permanent digital identity for land, linking directly to land records. The Congress govt views this as a key step toward digitising and streamlining land management, replacing outdated manual systems with a more transparent and efficient platform. During a review meeting on the revenue and housing departments at the command control centre, the CM instructed officials to ensure readiness for inaugurating Indiramma houses by the end of the month. Officials reported that a large number of these houses have already been completed in multiple districts.

‘Naksha' Pilot to ensure accurate urban land records in UP: Minister
The 'Naksha' pilot programme aims to provide accurate and easily accessible urban land records in Uttar Pradesh. It will also contribute to transparent property ownership, more efficient urban planning, and improved infrastructure development, said Manoj Joshi, secretary, department of land resources, ministry of rural development while addressing a press conference on Monday. He said, the 'Naksha' pilot programme has been launched by the ministry of rural development in 157 urban local bodies in 27 states and 3 union territories in the year 2024-25 for the preparation of land records of urban areas. Ten urban local bodies of Uttar Pradesh have been selected under the programme. It includes Tanda (Ambedkar Nagar), Nawabganj (Barabanki), Anupshahr (Bulandshahr), Chitrakoot Dham (Chitrakoot), Gorakhpur (Gorakhpur), Hardoi (Hardoi), Jhansi (Jhansi), Chunar (Mirzapur), Puranpur (Pilibhit) and Tilhar (Shahjahanpur), he said. The state-of-the-art aerial and field survey techniques under Naksha are helping to build a comprehensive, GIS-integrated database of urban land parcels. Currently, 22.27% of Uttar Pradesh's population lives in urban areas. This figure is projected to rise to around 40% by 2031, he said. In view of the fast urbanisation there is a need for accurate and accessible urban land records. The programme will play important role in streamlining urban planning. The land records of urban areas maintained by urban bodies for tax collection have been found inadequate for establishing ownership rights. With the introduction of mapped urban land records, the status of land and ownership will now be clearly defined. This accurate determination of ownership is expected to help prevent fraud in urban property transactions. In case of disputes, it will facilitate smoother judicial proceedings. The data will not only aid in urban planning but also support the development of infrastructure facilities. The legally certified land data will help boost municipal revenue collection, enhance disaster preparedness, and attract private investment, he added. Speaking about the rural land records, Joshi stated the Uttar Pradesh revenue department has been managing them digitally by incorporating technology in land management processes, with support from the Revenue Board. Currently, land records such as real-time khatauni, maps, and khasra have been digitised. Village maps have also been digitised and geo-referenced, with each plot assigned a Geo-Aadhaar—Unique Land Parcel Identification Number (ULPIN)—based on its geospatial coordinates. ULPIN includes ownership details, plot size, and its latitude and longitude information. This system will streamline real estate transactions, aid in resolving property taxation issues, and enhance disaster planning and response efforts, he said. Joshi reviewed the progress of Digital India Land Record Modernization Program (DIL1RMP) and 'Naksha' programme in UP in a meeting with chairman of revenue board Anil Kumar. He stated that currently, details such as land ownership shares recorded in the khatauni, land disputes, sale transactions, maps, complaints filed on the Anti-Land Mafia Portal, enemy or evacuee property status, and bank mortgage information are all available online with just a single click. The facility of online application for succession, non-agricultural land declaration, income/caste/residence certificate, transfer of land of Scheduled Caste landholder, authorisation of transfer of more than 12.5 acres of land, complaint of illegal occupation of land, lease allotment, chief minister krishak accident welfare and correction in khatauni is available to the general public, he said. The revenue court computerised management system is functional for the settlement of land related disputes, through which the plaintiff and the defendant have the facility to view all the details regarding the status of their case online such as date of case, status of case, order etc. He said that an action plan is underway to link land records with Aadhaar, which will enable access to complete land details with a single click and help curb fraud in land transactions. Under the Swamitva Yojana, land surveys are being conducted using drones to generate accurate land records and GIS-based maps for rural planning. The aim is to ensure financial stability for people living in rural areas by enabling them to use their property as a financial asset to access loans and other financial benefits.

Centre's reform nudge to States resulting in less land wastage, increased digitisation
The Centre's attempts to nudge States into implementing land and industrial reforms have resulted in a reduction in land wastage and a sharp jump in digitisation of land records, data from the Finance Ministry show. The Centre, in 2020, launched the Scheme for Special Assistance to States for Capital Investment, under which it provided States 50-year interest-free loans for capital investment. While a portion of these loans were untied, a significant part was made available to the States only if they undertook particular reforms relating to road construction, digitisation, optical fibre installation, urban reforms, and disinvestment and monetisation. In the first year, the scheme was capped at ₹12,000 crore worth of loans, which has grown over the years to ₹1,50,000 crore in 2025-26. According to data shared by the Finance Ministry, 22 States have carried out reforms in building bye laws for industrial and commercial plots. Of these, 18 States have reduced land wastage in factory plots due to outdated setbacks and parking regulations to less than 30%. Previously, companies had to dedicate about half of their factory land to parking space and setbacks, which are buffer areas between the factory and the boundary wall. By updating these regulations, states have managed to reduce this land wastage. In addition, the data show 12 States have doubled the built-up area permitted for flatted factories (multi-storey industrial buildings), and eight States have increased their Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for commercial buildings. Notably, the information shared also shows that 90% of cadastral maps — showing details of land ownership boundaries — have been digitised. Additionally, 30% of land parcels (22 crore out of 76 crore) have been assigned Unique Land Parcel Identification Numbers (ULPIN) so far, and 91% of the Records of Rights (35 crore out of 38 crore) have been digitised.
