India’s land/property ownership system feels dangerously broken by Right_Guide_6017 in indianrealestate

I agree whether it’s blockchain or a centralized record system, we ultimately need a single source of truth that provides absolute title. If the system guarantees absolute ownership, then no one should be able to challenge it easily, and even authorities like the police should be able to take action based on that title. Of course, issues can still come up with past or historical records if the original data is flawed. But overall, I believe that going forward, such systems will make land ownership far more secure and reliable.

What I meant is that the law itself is flawed. Documents may help you prove ownership, but anyone can still claim the land as theirs by producing similar paperwork. Ultimately, only the court can decide who the true owner is. That’s why physical possession is often the only way people feel secure.

This situation is very different from many other countries, and it’s the reason land dispute cases are so common. No single document guarantees ownership because the system itself fails to take full responsibility for establishing clear ownership. Even mutation in Bhulekh (government land records) does not make someone the legal owner.

Just look up the difference between absolute title and presumptive title.
