It is an alpha-numeric unique ID for each land parcel that contains ownership details of the plot besides its size and longitudinal & latitudinal details.
It is part of the Digital India Land Records Modernisation Programme (DILRMP), a programme that had been initiated in 2008.
The identification will be based on the longitude and latitude coordinates of the land parcel, and depends on detailed surveys and geo-referenced cadastral maps.
The number is developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC).
The ULPIN scheme was rolled out in 2021 in ten Indian states. The government plans to launch it in all states and UTs by March 2022.
The idea behind the program is to check land fraud, especially in the rural hinterlands of India, where there are no clear land records and often, land records are ambiguous and land ownership disputed.
It will eventually integrate its land records database with revenue court records and bank records, as well as Aadhaar numbers on a voluntary basis.
It is being touted as ‘Aadhar for Land’.
Proper land statistics and land accounting through the ULPIN scheme will aid in developing land banks and usher in the Integrated Land Information Management System (ILIMS).
