LUCKNOW, May 5 -- The Uttar Pradesh government has sanctioned Rs 2.5 crore to the Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) for developing an online land and property acquisition management system under a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform to enhance transparency and efficiency. According to senior LDA officials, the initiative aims to modernise the acquisition and record-keeping process, enabling faster decisions, better tracking, and more transparency in land transactions. The upgraded digital platform is expected to simplify documentation, ensure timely compensation for landowners, and reduce dependency on manual procedures. LDA vice-chairman Prathamesh Kumar said the existing ERP system is outdated, lacks technical support, and fails to meet current digital demands. The new ERP will support high website traffic, offer quicker response times, and provide seamless access to land ownership and acquisition details. The portal, expected to be fully functional by December 2025, will integrate Aadhaar-based verification, an online payment gateway, digital certification, and a document management system. LDA's officer on special duty (OSD), Devansh Trivedi, said these additions would enhance the efficiency and reliability of property-related services. The financial sanction follows a request submitted by the LDA VC in a letter dated March 12, 2025....
