Secured Land Chain: A Blockchain Based Land Registration System Leveraging Cryptographic Hashing, Smart Contracts and Consensus Alogorithms

The system of land registration in India has suffered from inefficiency issues like bureaucracy, lengthy procedures,

and lack of validation throughout. Despite Telangana State completing the digitalization process, the information still lies in a

centralized server that could easily be manipulated by someone with the right credentials. Our solution is referred to as

Sovereign Ledger – a web portal application platform where each time the transaction takes place on the ledger through a SHA256 block-chain thus making it possible to verify the history of record independently. There are two portals within our solution

platform.

The government officials gain access to the platform through a QR code scan on their mobile phone. There is no need for

entering any password into the computer terminal. On the other hand, citizens use this platform to register their land, appoint an

officer who is responsible for the transfer of land, monitor the progress of transactions, lodge complaints in case there are any

issues, check the properties registered in the area, and estimate taxes.

Officers on their part will attend to every request made by citizens, seek clarifications, register the transaction on the blockchain, and decline if need arises stating the reason.
