Draft operational guidelines of digital india land records modernization programme (dilrmp) introduction

9.6 For resurvey, aerial photography (wherever possible) and TS+DGPS for ground truthing is recommended.
9.7 Where large open areas and large land holdings are there, e.g., arid and semi-arid areas, and good quality and reasonably up-to-date cadastral maps are available, the vectorized cadastral maps may be geo-referenced using high resolution satellite data and GPS control points. The geo-referenced cadastral maps shall be overlaid on the high resolution satellite imagery (HRSI) to study the discrepancy, both qualitatively and quantitatively. If the discrepancies are high, ground truthing using TS+DGPS is recommended.
9.8 The technical details on different methodologies as mentioned above and setting up of the ground control network are given in Chapter-2 of the Technical Manual.
9.9 A Policy Circular has been issued by the Department on 8^th Dec 2016 (Annexure- GL-IV) to ordinarily carry out record or survey / re-survey operations from DILRMP funds only in places where record of rights or field book or map are not available or have been destroyed / damaged / outdated etc. and not to have unnecessary Surveys / re-Surveys when land records are available as per the normal.
10. COMPUTERIZATION OF THE REGISTRATION PROCESS
10.1 The manual (non-computerized) registration process involves maintenance of paper copies of all the registered documents. This procedure of maintaining and registering property documents often results in misclassification of documents, misrepresentation of facts, and other such losses. Searching of reports, records and issuance of non-encumbrance certificates also take long time and turn out to be cumbersome tasks.
10.2 Computerization of registration is necessary not only for making property registration efficient and hassle-free but also for initiation of mutation process immediately thereby bringing more transparency in effecting changes in records. Registration, therefore, has been made one of the major components of DILRMP. The Sub-Registrars’ Offices (SROs) in the States/UTs carry out registration and recording of various types of documents related to the transfer of immovable property. In order to facilitate computerization of registration system some States/UTs have aligned the Rules made under the Registration Act 1908. Other States/UTs also need to align their Rules to make the process of computerization legally tenable and effective.
10.3 DILRMP provides full support of computerization of all components of registration. All the SROs will be fully computerized with adequate hardware, software, process re-engineering, staff training and connectivity with the revenue records maintenance system, banks, treasuries, etc. Also, the following functions will be computerized:
