असर्वेक्षित संपत्तियों से राजस्व हानि (Survey-Mapped Property Tax Gap)
₹17-20 lakhs per mid-sized municipality annually (based on 17% discrepancy in building identification). Extrapolated: ₹100-500 crores nationally across all ULBs.Traditional manual surveying and coordinate transformation result in significant under-assessment of taxable properties. A Grama Panchayat GIS survey discovered 3,000 additional buildings (17% discrepancy) not in official records. This gap directly translates to lost property tax revenue across India's 4,000+ urban local bodies.
निर्देशांक रूपांतरण त्रुटियों से डेटा विसंगति (Coordinate Transformation Data Mismatch)
₹2-5 lakhs per municipality annually (120-150 hours × ₹1,500/hour survey coordination cost); 20-40% of rework hours in mid-sized municipalitiesManual data processing and coordinate transformation between DGPS field surveys and legacy cadastral maps introduces systemic misalignment. Sources indicate field surveys reveal significant discrepancies (3,000 extra buildings in one Panchayat case), requiring extensive rework and re-assessment.
मैनुअल समन्वय प्रसंस्करण से क्षमता बाधा (Manual Coordinate Processing Bottlenecks)
₹30-50 lakhs annually per mid-sized surveying firm (opportunity cost of 3-4 delayed projects; 30-40% idle capacity on 10-15 concurrent projects × ₹20-50 lakhs project margin)Manual coordinate transformation and data processing introduce sequential dependencies. Field surveys complete, but subsequent GIS lab validation, quality assurance, and cadastral integration require days of manual rework. Survey teams sit idle; equipment underutilized; project schedules slip. A Panchayat GIS project took extended timelines due to manual verification and re-surveying of discrepancies.
डेटा दृश्यता की कमी से पूंजी निवेश में त्रुटि (Poor Data Visibility Leading to Misallocated Survey Investment)
₹20-40 lakhs per municipality per cycle (inefficient allocation of ₹1-2 crore annual survey budget; 15-25% wastage on low-priority zones)Manual coordinate transformation and fragmented data prevent decision-makers from seeing revenue leakage patterns. Goa CM noted that GIS-based surveys enable identification of tax evaders and unauthorized structures — implying prior manual approaches lacked this visibility. Municipalities deploy survey teams blindly rather than to high-risk zones.
