The Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP) has made significant strides in digitising land records, transforming land administration from "in-line" to "online" across the nation.
This initiative has enabled citizens in 19 states to access digitally signed, legally valid land records from the comfort of their homes.
The programme has achieved near-total saturation in core components of land record digitisation. Computerisation of Records of Rights (RoRs) is complete in 97.27% of villages, while cadastral maps have been digitised for 97.14% of the country.
Additionally, 84.89% of villages have successfully integrated their textual RoRs with spatial cadastral maps. This progress has facilitated online verification of mortgages in 406 districts, expediting credit access.
The NAKSHA pilot programme has addressed urban land management complexities, making rapid progress in 157 Urban Local Bodies (ULBs). Aerial surveys were completed in 116 ULBs, covering approximately 5,915 sq. km with high-resolution imagery.
Ground truthing was initiated in 72 ULBs, with 100% completion in 21 cities. Under the SASCI 2025-26 scheme, ₹1,050 crore in funding was recommended to 24 States/UTs for achieving specific NAKSHA milestones.
On December 31, 2025, two landmark initiatives were launched. The Land Stack pilot in Chandigarh and Tamil Nadu integrates land, ownership, registration, and building data on a unified platform.
The Glossary of Revenue Terms was released to harmonise linguistic diversity in land administration, providing meanings in Vernacular, Hindi, English, and Roman scripts.

The Unique Land Parcel Identification Number (ULPIN), a 14-digit alphanumeric code, serves as the "Aadhaar for Land".
As of November 2025, ULPIN has been assigned to over 36 crore land parcels across 29 States and UTs, eliminating duplicity and preventing benami transactions.
The National Generic Document Registration System (NGDRS) has streamlined property transactions, promoting "Ease of Doing Business". Implemented in 17 States/UTs, 88.6% of Sub-Registrar Offices are integrated with revenue offices, enabling automatic mutation of land records post-registration.
The Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme has significantly advanced land administration by digitising records and enhancing online accessibility. The integration of various systems and strategic initiatives has streamlined processes, benefiting citizens and institutions alike.
