CARD ARCHITECTURE - PRESENT

Client level - Windows XP

Middleware - Web logic server (Oracle 11g forms & reports)

Database - Oracle 11g

Server OS - Linux (RHEL5.X)

Storage - SAN (200 TB)

ITEM AS IS Challenges/issues

Client level OS including imaging software

Windows XP Need for modification of Data Link Library (DLL) files whenever scanner is changed or/and OS is changed relating to imaging

Middleware Web logic (Oracle 11g forms & reports)

Relatively higher cost. Lacks interoperability across different databases

Database Oracle 11g Relatively higher cost (but stable and reliable)

Server OS Linux (RHEL5.X) No performance issues

Storage SAN Relatively higher cost. (SAN and NAS combo may reduce cost)

Public Data Entry System

Aimed to enable the citizen to enter data, which is conventionally done by the department

The data like names of the parties, their additions, property details, consideration, nature of instrument, stamp duty and other statutory duties/fee paid are to be entered by citizen at his convenience

The data so entered will appear on the Registrar’s system and be verified before registration

Document writing option may be provided incorporating the given details with a rider that the department own no responsibility of covenants and document

Public Data Entry - Gains

More accuracy in data entry

Disburdening the Office

Lesser time spent by citizen at the SRO

Prohibited property and market value issues resolved beforehand

Stamp duty and other duties – accuracy and transparency

Webland application enables the citizen to verify the accuracy of property and titleholder and other claimants of agricultural land before registration

UID linkage enables capturing full details of the parties and witnesses from UID database; and verification of thumb impression is possible – trustworthiness – ultimate goal is achieved

Cyber treasury integration –Online transfer of SD,TD,RF & UC

Manual accounting system

Too many accounts viz

Account A (Document details)

Account B (Miscellaneous like private attendance, batta)

Account C (Suspense Account)

Account D (EC and CC fees)

Account G (work turnover register)

Account H (Final consolidated account of moneys)

Receipt book for documents and cash

Manual drudgery and time consuming

Training

No formal training on the Acts and Rules administered by the department at induction level except practical training

No Refresher training for the employees

Need to impart

Basic computer knowledge for all employees

Training on CARD

Hardware and Networking

Connectivity - Present

APSWAN – Primary

SRO MRO COLLECTORATE SDC

2 Mbps dedicated bandwidth from SRO to MRO

Different service providers at this level (BSNL, Reliance, Sifi)

4 Mbps dedicated bandwidth from MRO to District

8 Mbps shared bandwidth from District to SDC

Secondary connectivity of 4 Mbps internet VPN – Vendor - BSNL

Connectivity - challenges

Many hops – Many problems

Shared bandwidth – no assured bandwidth

Upload speed is primacy than download speed

Document image varies from 1.5 to 3 MB. RR Dist has 31 SROs. Means every point of time SROs send 100 MB (image+data). Approximately it requires an upload speed of

Probable solution: dedicated bandwidth between SRO to SDC 512 Kbps minimum

Integration with UID

Registration process require “trustworthiness” as far as identification of parties. Limited enquiries powers to Registering Officer to get himself satisfied wrt parties identity

Many crimes like impersonation and wrong declaration wrtaddress etc because of no reliable system

UID linkage would solve these challenges to a great extent

Data and thumb impression verification - possible

Integration with treasury record

Linkage with cyber treasury

Online payment of SD,TD,RF and UC – bundling and unbundling – payment directly to treasury – no float

Ease in reconciliation

Arresting misappropriation – avoidance of cash handling

Management Information System

Revenue information

Market Value information

Office performance (punctuality, up/down, time taken to complete transaction etc)

Audit reports and subsequent action

Need a dashboard containing above information to all controlling officers on the lines of googleanalytics
