 Unique Land Parcel Identification Number (ULPIN)
▪ 14 digits Alpha–numeric unique ID for each land parcel based on geo-coordinates of vertices of the parcel
– Bhu-AADHAR
▪ Complies with international standards - Electronic Commerce Code Management Association (ECCMA)
and Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC)
▪ A new alpha-numeric number is generated at partition of parcels
▪ Technical architecture of Unique Land Parcel Identifier Number (ULPIN) is compatible with any open
source software applications of geographical location
▪ It is displayed with / or without geo coordinates based on security protocol and sensitivity
▪ Unique number can be generated for multiple units of a single property
▪ In Bhunaksha, PNIU can be generated automatically on creation of new parcels
 Benefits of ULPIN
▪ ULPIN will be used as single source of truth for land records as it is designed to uniquely identify every
surveyed land parcel based on the Textual records of rights (RoR) along with its corresponding geo
coordinates
▪ Enforce uniqueness of all transactions, up-to-date land records, auto-update on Registration / mutation
▪ Standardization at data and application level would bring in effective integration and interoperability
across departments
▪ Sharing of land records data with financial institutions and all stakeholders, eliminate fraudulent
transactions
▪ Data analytics would be easier, along with the unique geospatial identifier complying with international
standards which will pave the way towards implementation of Conclusive Titling.
