Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has launched the operational guidelines for the third phase of the Digital India Land Records Modernisation Programme (DILRMP 3.0). The initiative has an allocated outlay of ₹565.5 crore for the 2026-2031 period.
The programme aims to integrate land records, maps, and registration data through a Geographic Information System (GIS)-based digital framework. Under the initiative, every land parcel will be assigned a 14-digit Unique Land Parcel Identification Number (ULPIN), also known as “Bhu-Aadhaar”, alongside the georeferencing of cadastral maps.
75 high-footfall sub-registrar offices will be modernized and rebranded as “registration seva kendras”. The government will also focus on scanning legacy land records, establishing a centralized registration repository, and computerizing revenue courts. Additionally, the NAKSHA initiative will be used for urban land mapping to prepare and issue urban property cards.
