Benefit of Digitization: Software to Block Registration in Case of Land or Property Dispute

 

The government has taken steps to reduce disputes related to land and property by using technology and digital processes. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY) is developing software that will automatically block the registration of any disputed land or property. This initiative is part of the Digital India Land Records Modernization Program (DILRMP).

• Government Initiative: The program aims to minimize disputes and streamline land ownership records by integrating them digitally. The government plans to ensure that land and property transactions are transparent and secure through this digital transformation.
• Process Overview: When a dispute over land or property arises, the software will flag it, preventing registration until the issue is resolved. This process will not only reduce illegal transactions but also ensure that only legitimate ownership changes are recorded. The Ministry of Rural Development is overseeing this digital integration.
• Project Details: According to official sources, the integration process of land records and registries is expected to be completed by 2025. This integration includes digitizing land records and linking them with registration processes, making data accessible to all concerned departments.
• Legal Support: The program also involves collaboration with the judiciary to ensure that any dispute resolutions are immediately reflected in the land records. Once the court resolves a dispute, the registry will be updated automatically, providing a seamless link between the legal system and land records.
• Future Implementation: The new system aims to provide a unified platform for all land and property-related records, helping to minimize disputes and ensure transparency. The government is committed to ensuring that all states are integrated into this system, enhancing the overall efficiency of land and property registration processes.

This initiative is expected to significantly reduce the number of land disputes by providing a robust digital framework that links all relevant data, from ownership details to legal disputes, ensuring clarity and legality in property transactions.
