Advantages of the UPOR system to the Citizens/ organizations/agencies:
- A robust system of Urban property ownership records is being created which accurately records both the special details of the property as well as the record of rights data.
- Thus UPOR system would facilitate easy transfer of property rights.
- Connectivity to various systems: This electronic system would connect to the property registration system, judiciary and municipality.
- Automatic Mutations: Mutations to the Urban property records would now be automatic, ,soon after the registration of properties takes place.
- Usage by Banks: UPOR database which would also contain the loan details. Soon after loan is granted an entry would be automatically made in the UPOR database about the fact of grant of loan on the property.
- Demarcation of Government properties: Property belonging to the Urban land ceiling and Inam land, tanks, graveyards etc, would be fully demarcated. Any encroachment on government land would be easily identified.
- The property record over the years will continue to remain current and accurate i.e. will not become obsolete or inaccurate, since the process of continuous updation is built into the system.
