Rural Development Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan launched the Operational Guidelines for DILRMP 3.0 at Krishi Bhawan on 10 September 2026.
DILRMP 3.0 is a Central Sector Scheme with an outlay of ₹565.50 crore for 2026–2031, 100% centrally funded and released in performance-linked phases through PFMS.
Its core is a GIS-based 'Land Stack': State Land Stacks, linked through APIs, federate into a National Land Stack that joins cadastral maps, Records of Rights, registrations and court cases.
Every land parcel gets a 14-digit Bhu-Aadhaar (ULPIN), and 75 high-footfall Sub-Registrar Offices become Registration Seva Kendras modelled on Passport Seva Kendras.
Earlier phases digitised 99.90% of Records of Rights and 97% of cadastral maps and computerised 99% of Sub-Registrar Offices.
One interoperable view of land data.
Key: Layers georeferenced cadastral maps, RoRs, registrations and court matters; State stacks built via APIs form a federated National Land Stack.
An unambiguous identity for every parcel, to curb fraud.
Key: 14-digit alphanumeric ID generated from the parcel's geo-coordinates; introduced in 2021 under DILRMP; Budget 2024-25 proposed it for all rural land.
Citizen-friendly registration.
Key: 75 high-footfall SROs upgraded with digital queue management, on the Passport Seva Kendra model.
Protect inheritance rights and curb ancestral land disputes.
Key: Historical land and registration records scanned and digitally archived.
Property due diligence.
Key: Secure store of registered deeds and encumbrances for ownership checks and transaction history.
Cut pendency and speed up mutations.
Key: Revenue Court Case Management System (RCCMS) linked directly to land records.
GIS-based urban land records.
Key: Pilot launched 18 February 2025 at Raisen, Madhya Pradesh, for about 152 ULBs in 26 States and 3 UTs; issues Urban Property Cards (UrPro Cards); DILRMP 3.0 accelerates it.
Computerisation of Land Records (CLR) scheme begins
CLR and Strengthening of Revenue Administration & Updating of Land Records (SRA&ULR) merged into the National Land Records Modernisation Programme (NLRMP)
Revamped as DILRMP, a Central Sector Scheme with 100% central funding
ULPIN (Bhu-Aadhaar) introduced; DILRMP extended to 2021-26
President presents the first Bhoomi Samman to 9 State Secretaries and 68 District Collectors for saturating DILRMP's core components

The official revenue record of who owns or holds a parcel, its area and its encumbrances.
Updating the revenue record after land changes hands through sale, inheritance or gift; DILRMP 3.0 speeds it up by linking revenue courts (RCCMS) to land records.
