Being launched with an objective to ensure regulated tax collection, this project entails that sufficient data regarding the home shall be linked with the unique ID accorded to it. For this purpose, each number plate shall have a unique QR code that would give all information about the status of the tax upon scanning.

While the first two digits shall represent the state code, third to fifth numerals shall be indicative of the municipality, under whose jurisdiction lies the said house. In addition to this, the sixth and seventh digits will be based on the municipal zone. Apart from this, numerals from eight to ten and eleven to sixteen shall represent the ward code and wealth code respectively. Further, there will also be a seventeenth digit pointing if the location is used for residential or non-residential purposes.
