Computerisation of
Land Records
1
To Reduce Information Assymetry
2. RIGHT TO INFORMATION ACT
All records that are appropriate to be computerised are
computerised within a reasonable time.
And connected through a network so that access to these records
is facilitated
2
The Obligation To Computerise
4. PAPER RECORDS
Proof of ownership exists essentially in paper form
Computerisation as currently implemented is little more than
digitisation of paper records.
DATA HISTORY
Due to complexity of transactions, the title history is often unclear
and due diligence is time consuming, expensive and uncertain.
Most title reports are accompanied by strong caveats
4
Existing Challenges
5. CORRUPTION
Land transactions require registration and officials have
considerable discretion in stamp duty and registration charges
This is an opportunity for malicious parties to indulge in corruption
VULNERABILITY
When the title management system is centralised in the registers of
the government, it has a single point of failure
This means that if the title registry is vulnerable to modification,
essential title records could be manipulated
5
Existing Challenges
7. DIGITAL RECORDS
There is a need to completely move away from reliance on
paper records
This will require smart contracts that can be entirely digital
ELECTRONIC LEDGER
There is a need to establish a reliable electronic ledger that
offers non-repudiable proof of the conclusion of a property
transaction
The ledger must be tamper-proof and time-stamped to ensure
that records cannot be altered once entered
7
Technical Requirements
8. NON-DISCRETIONARY
The process of registration must be made as free from
discretion as possible
This will ensure that the risk of corruption is reduced to the
minimum
DISTRIBUTED LEDGER
In order to ensure that there is no single point of failure, the
ledger should be distributed
If the only way a record can be changed is to change it on all
copies of the distributed ledger, tampering with the record
becomes infeasible.

Technical Requirements
10. DISTRIBUTED LEDGER
Blockchain technology enables the maintenance of a distributed
ledger among all nodes of the system
Every new transaction is cryptogaphically secured and added to
the chain as part of a new block
As other blocks are added to the chain the veracity of the
transaction become unassaiable.
TIME-STAMP
The blockchain is effectively timestamped and transactions
once added cannot be re-arranged in chronological sequence
This allows everyone to access the entire history of all the
transfers of a given property

Blockchain Technology
11. SMART CONTRACTS
Blockchain technology allows the creation of smart contracts
that eliminates opportunities for regulatory discretion
These smart contracts can be self-executing if combined with
digital payment technologies or crypto-currencies
Reduce the need for manual intervention as they are automated
SECURITY AND FAULT TOLERANCE
Since there is no single point of failure it is very expensive to
bring the entire system down.
If any one node is brought down for any reason, all the others
are still accessible
11
Blockchain Technology
12. TRANSPARENCY
Since the entire blockchain is accessible at all times, there is
complete transparency about all transactions
This allows for public audit as well as private title due diligence
CONSISTENCY
The blockchain can only be added to and changed in the
manner prescribed by the software
This ensures consistency of data across all transaction records
