Abstract: This paper explores the usage of Blockchain Technology for Land Records Management in India. It highlights issues, such as minimal transparency, accountability, incoherent data sets with different Government Departments pertaining to the same piece of land and delays in the current Land Records management process and how to overcome these problems using Blockchain Technology. The paper describes the current process of land records maintenance and land registration in the country, and discusses various challenges encountered during the implementation of Blockchain Technology like public key infrastructure and Internet, privacy rules and security issues. Finally, the paper illustrates a system design using Blockchain Technology for the implementation of Land Titling system in the country, so that land titles are tamper-proof, and provides authentic and conclusive rights on ownership.
