A recent working paper from the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister of India (EAC-PM) advocates for a SVAMITVA-like scheme tailored for urban India. The proposal aims to address the fragmentation of land records managed by multiple state and municipal authorities, which complicates land ownership verification. The original SVAMITVA scheme, designed for rural areas, has successfully enhanced access to formal credit, especially for women and marginalized communities. The paper, co-authored by Soumya Kanti Ghosh, Pulak Ghosh, and Falguni Sinha, emphasizes that implementing a similar scheme in urban settings could improve the transparency and competitiveness of urban land markets. It suggests that creating property cards for urban areas would allow businesses to acquire contiguous land parcels more efficiently. The analysis also points out that SVAMITVA has led to a 23% increase in sanctioned loan amounts in districts where it was implemented, with notable benefits for women borrowers and those from backward classes. The paper underscores the potential of combining the SVAMITVA Act with existing legal protections for women to foster a more inclusive economic environment.
