Smart Land Record System Using Blockchain

Abstract

The existing land registry system in India is plagued by complex procedures, convoluted networks of intermediaries, and inherent difficulties in verifying ownership, resulting in multiple transactions for a single piece of land. In this pioneering study, we harness the transformative potential of blockchain technology to overcome these challenges. By leveraging a decentralized system built upon existing land record registration models, our research presents a groundbreaking proof-of-concept that has the potential to revolutionize the Indian government's land registration agency. Our comprehensive framework provides a meticulous blueprint that outlines essential elements for the successful implementation of a distributed land record registry system. Utilizing Ethereum's blockchain infrastructure, we establish an innovative system that captures the intricate process of land ownership transfers through immutable transactions. Smart contracts play a pivotal role in triggering significant events, such as granting land document access to authorized land inspectors, freezing designated land blocks for sale, and facilitating fund transfers upon rightful landowner verification. With this pioneering framework, the validation of land ownership achieves unprecedented levels of integrity, supported by immutable transactions recorded on a public ledger. This paradigm-shifting approach enhances the land registration process with remarkable efficiency, transparency, and a significant reduction in legal complexities, ushering in a new era of seamless and equitable land transactions.
