The India — Government of Delhi, led by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, is introducing the India — Delhi Land Records Bill 2026 to create a comprehensive digital land records system. The bill mandates a scientific survey of all properties in the National Capital Territory, assigning each a unique 'Property Aadhaar Card'. This initiative builds on a successful pilot under the SVAMITVA scheme in 30 rural villages, conducted with technical support from the India — Survey of India. The digital records will cover every residential, commercial, and other property, including each floor of every building. The government plans to convene a special session of the Odisha — Odisha Legislative Assembly to pass the bill. The system aims to eliminate ambiguity in property ownership, reduce disputes, and improve transparency. It will also be linked to the government's Family Card initiative for streamlined delivery of welfare schemes.
