The Delhi government is working on a new Bill to create a consolidated digital record of all properties in the city, the Chief Minister’s Office said on Thursday.
“Once the law comes into force, every property in Delhi will undergo a scientific survey and a comprehensive digital record will be created. Each property will then be assigned a unique ‘Property Aadhaar Card’,” an official statement read.
The proposed Delhi Land Records Bill, 2026, however, will not be tabled in the Monsoon Session of the Assembly and the government is likely to convene a special session later in connection with the Bill.
“Just as the Aadhaar card has provided every citizen with a trusted form of identity, every property in Delhi will now be given a secure and authentic digital identity. This will make property records across the national capital more transparent, well-organised and technologically secure,” Chief Minister Rekha Gupta was quoted as saying.
According to Ms. Gupta, the absence of a systematic land records system has for decades caused difficulties in proving ownership, property transactions, inheritance, securing loans, building plan approvals and resolving disputes pending before courts. “With the new system in place, authenticated digital property records will be available, eliminating ambiguity, improving transparency and significantly reducing land-related disputes,” she said.
