SVAMITVA Scheme (Survey of Villages & Mapping with Improvised Technology in Village Areas)

Go to svamitva.nic.in → "Progress Dashboard" → select your state → check if your district/block/village has completed the drone survey. If not yet surveyed, your property card will be issued once the survey is conducted in your area (typically within 3 years of state MoU).

When Survey of India drones survey your village (announced by district administration), ensure your house boundary is clearly visible and accessible. No application is required — drones automatically map all structures in the Abadi area. Mark any disputed boundaries to village officials before the survey.

After drone survey, a draft property map is shared with the village. The Gram Panchayat displays the draft maps for a 15–30 day enquiry period. Visit the Gram Panchayat and verify your property boundary on the map. Report discrepancies to the tehsildar or village patwari immediately.

After the enquiry period and state revenue department validation, property cards (also called Adhikar Abhilekh, Gharauti, Chaavdi Utara depending on state) are issued. Cards may be distributed at special camps organized by the district administration or via PM at state-level events.

Log in to svamitva.nic.in → enter your state → search by district, tehsil, and village → enter your property ID or owner name → download the property card as PDF. A physical card is also issued by the state revenue department. Use the card for bank loans, mutation, and tax records.
