New delhi, february 2026 — The Delhi government has launched a landmark initiative to assign a unique “Aadhaar‑style” ID number to every parcel of land in the city — including agricultural and other plots — in a bid to modernize land records and reduce property disputes.

What Exactly Is Being Planned?

Under the new system — popularly described as “Bhu‑Aadhaar” — each piece of land in delhi will be assigned a unique 14‑digit code called the Unique Land Parcel Identification Number (ULPIN). This number will function much like a personalised wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">digital identity for land, helping to digitally record and track every plot.

Instead of relying on old paper documents and multiple copies of deeds, this modern wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">digital identifier will become the main reference for all land information nationwide — covering details like location, ownership and boundaries.

Why This Is Being Introduced

✔ Ending Land Disputes

Land disputes and boundary disagreements have been chronic problems in many parts of Delhi. By giving every plot a precise georeferenced ID number, authorities hope to drastically reduce confusion over ownership and limit fraud.

✔ Cutting Corruption and Complexity

Old paper‑based records are often scattered, incomplete or inconsistent. A wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">digital system that links land parcels to a unique code will help ensure clear, centralized and easily verifiable land ownership — reducing opportunities for corruption and forged documents.

✔ Digital and Transparent Records

The initiative involves creating a new wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">digital land map using advanced technologies like drone surveys and high‑resolution imaging. This helps provide accurate information on each plot’s data-size, boundaries and exact coordinates.

Officials say the system is not just a number but a digital tool to safeguard property rights and streamline land administration — similar to how an Aadhaar number works for individuals.

What This Means for Farmers and Landowners

Under this plan, every type of land parcel — including farms, residential plots, commercial property and agricultural fields — will get its own wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">digital ID, making it easier to:

• Prove ownership without long legal procedures
• Resolve boundary and title disputes more quickly
• Access loans and government services using a standard wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">digital reference
• Transfer or sell land with greater transparency

This wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">digital transformation seeks to bring uniform land records, making land ownership clear and virtually mistake‑free — especially in a city where dense urbanization and mixed land use can create confusion.

When Will It Be Rolled Out?

The project has already started with pilot areas, and authorities are expanding the system across delhi in stages. As the scheme progresses, all land parcels are expected to be assigned their 14‑digit IDs under this digitally integrated process, reducing reliance on old maps and documents.

In Brief

The new “Bhu‑Aadhaar” initiative in Delhi will effectively give each piece of land its own Aadhaar‑style unique identification number (ULPIN) — making property records more transparent, secure and dispute‑free. It is part of broader efforts to digitize land records and streamline ownership tracking across the city.
