This guide is still being prepared and has not been reviewed. It shows only the parts we can state with confidence. Check the official portal before relying on it.
Odisha's land records are public on Bhulekh (bhulekh.ori.nic.in), which shows the record of rights (RoR) for every village, and Bhunaksha, which shows the maps. Mutation, demarcation, conversion and map requests are filed on odisharevenueservices.nic.in.
Definition
RoR (Odisha): The record of rights prepared under the Odisha Survey and Settlement Act, 1958 or earlier settlements. The front page shows tenant, rent and cess details; the back page lists the plots.
When you need it
Before buying land, for mutation and conversion applications, and for the section 22-A check at registration.
Steps

- Search by khatiyan number, plot number or tenant name.
- Read the RoR front page (tenants, rent and cess) and back page (plots).
- View the map through Map View (Bhunaksha), or look up a plot by its unique plot ID.
- File mutation, demarcation, conversion or map requests on odisharevenueservices.nic.in.
What you need to search
