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

III. Computerization of registration
Registration process computerization is a major component of the DILRMP scheme. Computerization of the registration process is necessary not only for making the property registration system efficient and hassle-free but also creating automated mutation process for updating RoRs.
An amount of Rs. 326.31 crore has been sanctioned for 3839 sub registrar offices. So far an amount of Rs.34.96 crore has been released as central share and contribution of matching share from States/UTs (75%) is Rs.88.38 crore (upto 31.03.2016). The committed liability to complete this activity in these 3839 sub registrar offices is 326.31(-) 34.96 (-) 88.38 = Rs.202.97 crore.
Funds required for the remaining 1256 sub registrar offices [5095 (total SRO)-3839 (so far sanctioned)] are Rs.150.72 crore. Total funds required to complete computerization of registration are Rs.202.97 + Rs.150.72 = Rs.353.69 crore.
An amount of Rs. 353.69 Crore has been earmarked for this component for the period from 2017-18 to 2019-20.

1. 
   Computerization of SROs
   

The majority of States and some UTs have initiated computerization of the registration process on their own. They have used their own funds, many have adopted a PPP model, and most have instituted user charges for cost recovery to a certain extent.
Support for computerization of SROs may be provided on a demand-driven basis to those states and UTs where this process has not started or the process has started but is lagging because of want of funds.
For the SROs that have already been computerized, there may be demand from some States for technology upgrade or ancillary items.
(b) Data entry of valuation details
The States or UTs which have a system of guidance values may computerize the data for online availability of guidance values for payment of stamp duty and registration fees. Valuation will have to be fixed by local authorities for each survey number as per local criteria.
(c) Data entry of legacy encumbrance data for determined period
In order to create the quick search facility for encumbrances, data entry for legacy registered deeds and data, based on registration numbers, names and property address particulars would be required for a determined period, usually 13 years (15 years in some states, 30 years in Puducherry) for issuance of encumbrance certificates, etc., and the cost of this activity will depend upon the number of documents to be digitized.
(d) Scanning and preservation of old documents
For preserving and archiving the old deed documents for future reference, such documents would need to be scanned and stored at each SRO.
The available banking and treasury networks could be appropriately interfaced for having secure access to the SROs for facilitating payment of stamp duties (in place of stamp papers) and registration fees.
(e) Connectivity to SRO with Revenue Offices
In order to achieve functional integration among the tehsil and State data centres as well as the corresponding Sub-Registrars’ offices, it would be required that each SRO location is provided with network connectivity. Notices will be automatically generated after registration to all recorded interested persons and the general public to effect changes in the Records of Rights (RoRs).
