What is 'Bimsaviya' Zone declaration? (Electronic Title)
Key Takeaways:
- Goal: To digitize all land records (Cadastral Survey).
- Benefit: No more "Title Search" needed. The certificate proves ownership 100%.
- Problem: The process is extremely slow.
Are you in a Bimsaviya Zone?
Places like Homagama and Divulapitiya are partially converted.
- If your land is Bimsaviya, you don't get a "Deed". You get a "Certificate of Title".
- Banks prefer this because fraud is impossible.
Verdict: Bimsaviya is the future, but for now, the old Deed system rules 90% of the island.
