About the Scheme

The Unique Land Parcel Identification Number (ULPIN) Scheme, often referred to as 'the Aadhaar for land', is an initiative to assign a 14-digit alphanumeric identification number to every land parcel in India.

Target Beneficiaries: 26 crore landowners, farmers, rural communities, property holders, and stakeholders across 29 states through 14-digit geo-referenced land parcel identification system for transparent land records and reduced disputes
