Every Land Parcel to Get a 14-Digit Unique Identifier
The Delhi government is set to launch ‘Bhu-Aadhaar’, a revolutionary initiative that will assign a 14-digit unique identification number to every land parcel in the city. This move aims to modernize land records, improve transparency, and reduce disputes.
What Is Bhu-Aadhaar?
Bhu-Aadhaar is a unique identification system for land parcels, similar in concept to the Aadhaar system for individuals. Each land parcel, whether residential, commercial, or agricultural, will receive:
- A 14-digit unique number
- Linked to geographical coordinates and land survey details
- Accessible through a digital portal for verification and updates
This system ensures accuracy and traceability of land ownership and transactions.
Objectives of the Initiative
Transparency in Land Records:
Reduce fraud and multiple claims on the same land parcel.
Ease of Property Transactions:
Buyers and sellers can verify land ownership easily.
Digital Integration:
Bhu-Aadhaar can be linked with property tax, utilities, and municipal records.
Dispute Resolution:
Accurate records help reduce conflicts over land ownership.
How Bhu-Aadhaar Will Work
- Survey & Mapping: Every plot is surveyed using GPS and satellite imagery.
- Unique ID Assignment: Each land parcel receives a 14-digit Bhu-Aadhaar number.
- Digital Records: Landowners can access details via the Bhu-Aadhaar portal or mobile app.
- Integration: Can be linked with banks, municipal bodies, and real estate registries.
Benefits for Citizens
- Ease of Verification: Quick and reliable proof of ownership.
- Efficient Land Transactions: Buyers and sellers can check Bhu-Aadhaar before transactions.
- Government Transparency: Simplifies administration and record-keeping.
- Reduces Legal Disputes: Accurate mapping prevents overlapping claims.
Implementation Timeline
- Pilot Phase: Early 2026 in selected districts of Delhi
- Citywide Rollout: Gradual implementation across all land parcels within the year
- Digital Access: Landowners can access their Bhu-Aadhaar online after registration
Conclusion
The launch of Bhu-Aadhaar in Delhi is a major step toward digital governance, transparency, and efficient property management. It promises to simplify land transactions, reduce disputes, and create a reliable database of all land parcels in the capital.
