1. Computer-Aided Registration Department (CARD) Project: A Case Study The CARD project, developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC) in Hyderabad, revolutionized land registration in Andhra Pradesh. This presentation explores the project's origins, objectives, implementation, and impact on the state's registration system. by Gaurab Neupane

2. The Need for Modernization The Registration Department plays a crucial role in maintaining official records like land titles, property ownership, and vital records. Traditionally, these processes were manual, leading to inefficiencies, delays, and errors. The CARD project aimed to address these challenges by integrating computer-aided systems, bringing greater accuracy, accessibility, and efficiency to the registration process.

3. Key Objectives of the CARD Project 1 Increased Processing Speed The project aimed to significantly reduce the time required to process registration requests. 2 Reduced Errors and Improved Accuracy The project sought to minimize errors and ensure the accuracy of registration data. 3 Streamlined Record Keeping The project aimed to improve record-keeping practices, making it easier to access and manage information. 4 Enhanced Accessibility and Transparency The project aimed to make registration services more accessible and transparent to the public.

4. Evolution of the CARD System Client/Server Architecture The initial CARD system operated on a Client/Server model, with the central server hosting the Oracle RDBMS on a Linux-based operating system. Client systems running on Windows 95/98 interacted with the server to manage registration data. Transition to Centralized Architecture (CCA) In 2011, the government shifted to a more centralized and scalable architecture, called CARD CCA, to address the limitations of the Client/Server setup. The CCA aimed to improve efficiency, security, and centralized management of data across the state.

5. Infrastructure and Software Development Hardware Procurement and Setup To support the CCA, high-performance servers, storage solutions, and network equipment were procured and set up at the State Data Centre in Hyderabad. This centralized location ensured reliability, security, and scalability for the growing needs of the CARD system. Software Development by NIC The National Informatics Centre (NIC) developed the software application for the CARD CCA, ensuring real-time access and updates from multiple locations while maintaining data integrity and security.

6. Launch and Key Features of the CARD Project Launch Date The CARD Project was launched on November 4, 1998, defining standards for different registration services with specific time standards. Automation of Registration Processes The project automated the registration of documents related to sale, mortgage, lease, partition, exchange, and release, covering 106 types of transactions. Provision of Registration Services The project provided registration services across the counter, including market value assistance, issuance of certified copies, sale of stamps, and receipt of cash. Electronic Document Preservation The project implemented an Imaging and Archival System (IAS) for electronic preservation of documents on CDs, including scanning, archiving, retrieval, verification, and audit reports.

7. Citizen-Centric Services Through the CARD Website Office Locations and Jurisdiction The website provides information on Sub Registrar Offices, their jurisdictions, addresses, and contact numbers. Market Value and Stamp Duty Rates The website provides market value guidelines, structure rates, and stamp duty rates for properties in the state. Property Index The website provides information on property indexes and encumbrances, allowing citizens to access property records. Electronic Filing of Objections The website allows citizens to electronically file objections on property indexes.

8. Impact and Conclusion The CARD project, an international success story, successfully replaced the manual system of copying, filing, indexing, accounting, and reporting of documents with an electronic document management system. The project's impact on the land registration process in Andhra Pradesh has been significant, improving efficiency, accuracy, accessibility, and transparency for citizens.
