Karnataka was the first state in India to computerise land records under the ‘Bhoomi Project’ followed by Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.
These three States got their entire village property records computerised during the year 2007. Subsequently, the Government introduced the ‘Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme’ in 2008, wherein they had allotted Central Government funds to computerise land records in all States. Many States had subsequently utilised these funds and got their entire land records computerised. In Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala, Assam, Delhi, and Tamil Nadu, however, the city property records are still not fully computerised and hence can’t be verified online. Maharashtra had computerised its entire city property records for all cities except Mumbai (Land records in Greater Mumbai are fully computerised).
Although land records are fully computerized in Telangana for rural properties, they can’t be verified online.
