All rights reserved www.infotechsw.com NLRMP Main Objectives usher in a system of updated land records automated and automatic mutation integration between textual and spatial records replace the present deeds registration and presumptive title system with that of conclusive titling with title guarantee The NLRMP has three major components: Computerization of land record Survey/ re-survey Computerization of Registration

8. All logos, trademarks, trade names and graphics used herein are the property of their respective owners© Infotech. All rights reserved www.infotechsw.com … a system of updated land records The central objective of NLRMP is not just fresh cadastral surveys Land records in almost all the states are not up-to-date Given that the land records are not in continuous maintenance in most of the states To meet the first objective, land records should be made up-to-date at one instance of time and be kept under continuous maintenance from then on

9. All logos, trademarks, trade names and graphics used herein are the property of their respective owners© Infotech. All rights reserved www.infotechsw.com … a system of updated land records Globally speaking, land records comprise of: Graphical sketches depicting accurately the extent and boundaries of all parcels An index map of the entire administrative unit A textual record comprising of the owners name, occupier/ enjoyer’s name, approximate area, unique ID number of the parcel The graphical records and the textual records should be individually correct and up-to-date and also be connected with each other properly to constitute the complete title cadastre “modernisation” in the program refers to employment of appropriate technology that will ensure this integration

10. All logos, trademarks, trade names and graphics used herein are the property of their respective owners© Infotech. All rights reserved www.infotechsw.com Mutation Mutation is the process of recording and registering change of ownership and other changes in the statutory records Change of ownership and other changes on the ground can occur in several ways, where transaction in land is only one of them All such sources of change, as also the processes through which such changes occur, are to be fully understood and captured The complete “as-is” business processes of the participating organisations should be understood, reengineered and rendered amenable for process automation GIS technology can then be embedded into this IT framework, so that the graphical data is simultaneously updated along with the textual title record, during mutation.

11. All logos, trademarks, trade names and graphics used herein are the property of their respective owners© Infotech. All rights reserved www.infotechsw.com Conclusive title Weakness of the present land records management system is the lack of connectivity between the processes of the Registration and Revenue Departments. In reality, registration does not confer title to the buyer; It is actually the mutation of the change of title in the revenue records that validates the registration process Every registration process – rather any process whatsoever by which ownership changes – should be immediately followed by mutation However, registration is carried out by the Department of Stamps and Registration, whereas mutation is carried out by the Revenue Dept. …

There may be simpler methods to impart a semblance of “conclusiveness” to the land titles; creation of an up-to-date land records database integrating textual and graphical record, Business process integration between Revenue, Survey and Registration Departments and Tweaking a few Departmental procedures to ensure proper consistency in their day-to-day implementation across the Departments.

Are cost and time important considerations?
