Geodetic Shift Tolerances
Applying an incorrect pan-India Kalianpur-to-WGS84 transformation can shift parcel boundaries by tens to hundreds of meters depending on the specific zone.
Civil & Legal Implications
Many legacy Indian cadastral sheets, land records, and oil/gas blocks remain in Everest/Kalianpur. Failing to rigorously apply Survey of India parameters causes massive legal encroachment.
Real-World Infrastructure Risk
Translating a 1980s highway ROW mapped in Kalianpur 1975 straightforwardly into WGS84 without regional EPSG shifts will result in grid misalignment across densely populated zones.
