Abstract

Land ownership in the country is validated through the basic register like ownership register and plot registers (khewat, khasra, kahtoni etc.). Though the legal ownership is established through the Records of Right (ROR), it is still presumptive in nature. The conclusive titling is initiated by Government of India through the national programme like Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP). Further the record details are managed by various departments like survey and settlement, registration, revenue department and various courts etc. The lack of coordination between these departments has lead to numerous disputes. In this paper, different layout plans have been proposed to solve the problem of trust, security and immutability of the records through the blockchain technology. Layout of the ledgers for different systems, inclusion of channels, formation of smart contracts, regulatory requirements, security and privacy requirements, scalability and performance issues are described so that decision makers can take a fast decision for implementation of blockchain in the operational projects.
