Bhulekh Odisha: view your RoR (khatiyan) on bhulekh.ori.nic.in

Bhulekh Odisha gives you the Record of Rights in Odia. Below: the way in, and then what every column of it means.

Official Odisha Revenue & DM Department site

bhulekh.ori.nic.in

Free to view. The only official address — check it before you type anything. Private sites with “bhulekh odisha” in a .com name are not the government.

Quick answer

Bhulekh Odisha is the Revenue & Disaster Management Department’s land-records portal at bhulekh.ori.nic.in. Choose district, tahasil and village, then search by khatiyan number, plot number or tenant name and press View RoR. The RoR it shows is in Odia; the area is in acres and a four-digit decimal figure — “0800” means 8 decimals — with hectares alongside.

Key takeaways

  • The only official address is bhulekh.ori.nic.in. There is no bhulekh.odisha.gov.in, and e-dhaRani is Odisha’s deed-registration system, not the RoR portal.
  • The RoR is always printed in Odia, even when the site is switched to English. Village and tenant names are Odia-only too.
  • Tenant search is a drop-down of every tenant in the village, not a box to type in — so a khatiyan or plot number is the faster route.
  • In the area column, the “D.” figure is hundredths of a decimal: 0800 is 8 decimals, 3,484.8 sq ft.
  • The printout is a view of the record, not a certified copy, and the RoR is a record of possession and rent — not a title deed.

What you need before you start

The portal lists every record in a village, so you need to name the village and then one of three keys.

  1. 1
    District, tahasil and village
    The village is the revenue village (mouza), which is not always the postal village. All three lists are in Odia script, even in English mode.
  2. 2
    Your khatiyan number or plot number
    From a sale deed, an old RoR, or a land-revenue receipt (pauti). Either one takes you straight to the record.
  3. 3
    Or the tenant’s name as the record spells it
    Only if you have neither number. You pick it from a drop-down of every tenant in the village, in Odia.

Step by step on bhulekh.ori.nic.in

Recreated screens, not screenshots — the fields and wording are what matter. Open the portal fresh and do not use the browser’s Back or Refresh buttons; the portal ends the session if you do.

Schedule I Form No.39-A — ଖତିୟାନ

Front
Mouza, tahasil, thana, district · items 1–6
Back (same page, below)← this step
Plot schedule · columns 7–12

Khatiyan Page · Print · Pay Land Revenue

The RoR opens as one page: the front (the holding) and, below it, the back (the plot schedule). There is no separate back-page button and no download — Print is the only way to keep a copy.

Reading the RoR front page (khatiyan)

The front page describes the holding and the person recorded as holding it. Items are numbered 1 to 6 on the record. Values below are illustrative, never a real person’s.

Front page, item by item
  1. ମୌଜା / ତହସିଲ / ଥାନା / ଜିଲ୍ଲା (mauja / tahasila / thana / jilla)Village, tahasil, police station, district
    Example: with tahasil no. and thana no.
    Where the land is. The mouza is the revenue village.
    What to check: That it is the village in your deed, not a neighbouring one with a similar name.
  2. ଜମିଦାରଙ୍କ ନାମ ଓ ଖେୱାଟ ବା ଖତିୟାନର କ୍ରମିକ ନମ୍ବର (jamidaranka nama o khewata)Landlord and khewat number
    Example: ଓଡିଶା ସରକାର · khewat 1
    The proprietor above the tenant. Since zamindari abolition this is normally the State of Odisha.
    What to check: Nothing, usually. This is not the owner field.
  3. ୧) ଖତିୟାନର କ୍ରମିକ ନମ୍ବର (khatiyanara kramika nambara)1. Khatiyan number
    Example: 45
    The account number of this holding in the village.
    What to check: Note it — it is the fastest way back to this record.
  4. ୨) ପ୍ରଜାର ନାମ, ପିତାର ନାମ, ଜାତି ଓ ବାସସ୍ଥାନ (prajara nama, pitara nama, jati o basasthana)2. Tenant, father, caste, residence
    Example: (names, in Odia)
    The person or persons recorded as holding the land. “Tenant” here means the raiyat holding directly under the State.
    What to check: Every co-sharer is listed, and spellings match your deed closely enough to be the same person.
  5. ୩) ସ୍ଵତ୍ଵ (swatwa)3. Nature of the right
    Example: ସ୍ଥିତିବାନ (sthitiban)
    The kind of right held. Sthitiban (rayati) is a settled raiyat’s heritable, transferable right.
    What to check: An unusual swatwa (for example a lease or a religious-institution holding) limits what can be sold.
  6. ୪) ଦେୟ (deya)4. Dues: water rate, rent, cess, total
    Example: ଜଳକର · ଖଜଣା · ସେସ୍ · ମୋଟ
    Annual land revenue and cesses on the holding.
    What to check: Paid up — you can pay online through e-Pauti from the RoR page.
  7. ୬) ବିଶେଷ ଅନୁସଙ୍ଗ (bisesa anusanga)6. Special remarks
    Example: case no. …/2025 order
    Where mutations, alienations and court or case orders are noted against the holding.
    What to check: Read this first on any land you are about to buy. A case reference here needs explaining.
  8. ଅନ୍ତିମ ପ୍ରକାଶନ ତାରିଖ (antima prakasana tarikha)Date of final publication
    Example: dd/mm/yyyy
    When the settlement RoR this record descends from was finally published.
    What to check: It starts the clock for a civil suit against an entry (see below).

Reading the plot schedule — kisam and the acre-decimal area

The back page lists every plot in the khatiyan, one row each, in columns 7 to 12. The area is where most readers go wrong.

Back page, column by column
  1. ୭) ପ୍ଲଟ ନମ୍ବର ଓ ଚକର ନାମ (plata nambara o cakara nama)7. Plot number and chak name
    Example: 123 · (field-block name)
    The survey plot, and the named block of fields it lies in.
    What to check: That the plot number matches your deed and the Bhu-Naksha map.
  2. ୮) କିସମ ଓ ପ୍ଲଟର ଖଜଣା (kisama o platara khajana)8. Kisam (land class) and plot rent
    Example: ଘରବାରି (gharabari)
    The class of land — see the table below.
    What to check: Building on agricultural kisam needs conversion first (OLR Act s.8-A).
  3. ୯) କିସମର ବିସ୍ତାରିତ ବିବରଣୀ ଓ ଚୌହଦି (kisamara bistarita bibarani o cauhadi)9. Kisam detail and boundaries
    Example: ଉ: … ଦ: …
    The four boundaries: ଉ north, ଦ south, and east and west.
    What to check: The boundaries match what is on the ground.
  4. ୧୦) ରକବା — ଏ. / ଡି. (rakaba — e. / di.)10. Area — acre / decimal
    Example: E. 0 · D. 0800
    E. is whole acres. D. is four digits in hundredths of a decimal: 0800 = 8 decimals, not 800. So 0 · 0800 is 0.08 acre = 8 decimals = 3,484.8 sq ft.
    What to check: Convert it in the land area converter with Odisha selected — it is prefilled for this example.
  5. ୧୧) ହେକ୍ଟର (hektara)11. Hectare
    Example: 0.0324
    The same area in hectares, computed from the acre figure.
    What to check: It should agree with column 10 — 0.08 acre is 0.0324 ha.
  6. ୧୨) ମନ୍ତବ୍ୟ (mantabya)12. Remarks
    Example:
    Plot-level notes.
    What to check: Any note here applies to that plot only.

The column-number row prints “1” over Acre and “0” over Decimal, so the pair reads “10”. The last row totals the plots, acres, decimals and hectares.

Kisam — the 22 categories in the June 2025 resolution (older RoRs may still show a local name)
GroupKisam
FarmlandJalasechita do-fasali (irrigated, two crops) · Jalasechita eka-fasali (irrigated, one crop) · Anajalasechita (unirrigated) · Bagayat (orchard)
Built / usedGharabari (homestead) · Byabasaika (commercial) · Anusthanika (institutional) · Khani khadan (mine, quarry) · Unnayana jogya (fit for development)
Water and wasteJalasaya (water body) · Nala (channel) · Nadi (river) · Samudra (sea) · Patita (fallow) · Nayanajori
Public and naturalGochar (grazing) · Rasta (road) · Rail line · Smasana (cremation ground) · Graveyard · Jungle · Mountain / hill

The same resolution cut more than 750 kinds of swatwa to four: rayati / sthitiban, pattadar, dharmanusthan and amrutamanohi. A committee is mapping old names to new district by district, so the older name on your RoR is not an error.

What an RoR is not

An RoR records who holds each plot, under what right, and what rent they pay. It is strong evidence of possession, and the registration office will allow a sale where title flows from it. It is not a title deed. Entries follow registered deeds, inheritance and orders; they do not create ownership, and the Supreme Court has repeatedly held that a mutation entry confers no title. The Bhu-Naksha map site goes further and says its maps are “for the purpose of viewing only” and “not meant for use in any legal purpose”.

A civil suit against a finally published RoR entry has to be filed within three years under section 42 of the Odisha Survey and Settlement Act, 1958 — which is why the date of final publication on the front page matters.

When it does not work

  • “You have been timed out of the website”

    Why: You used Back, Forward or Refresh, clicked twice, or sat idle. It can also appear on a very first visit before the session starts.

    What to do: Close the tab, open bhulekh.ori.nic.in fresh and go straight through without the browser buttons.

  • Odia text shows as boxes

    Why: An old device without an Odia font.

    What to do: Use a current phone or browser, which render Odia without help, or install the font the portal offers.

  • The name is not in the tenant list

    Why: The list is in Odia and spelled as the record spells it — “Naeka” and “Nayaka” are different entries. It may also be recorded under a parent’s name.

    What to do: Search by khatiyan or plot number instead, from your deed or a rent receipt. Or scan the list by surname.

  • The plot is not in the list

    Why: Wrong mouza, or the plot was renumbered at a later settlement or consolidation, or split into sub-plots.

    What to do: Check the mouza in your deed, then search the neighbouring khatiyan. The Bhu-Naksha map shows current plot numbers.

  • You bought the land but the RoR still shows the seller

    Why: Mutation has not been done. Registration and mutation are separate steps.

    What to do: Look up the case under Case Status on the tahasil portal (dwistodisha.nic.in), case number in the form 20/2018. If there is none, apply at odisharevenueservices.nic.in.

  • An entry is simply wrong

    Why: A recording error, or an order that was never carried into the record.

    What to do: Apply to the tahasildar for correction under Rule 34 of the Survey and Settlement Rules. Objections are invited for 15 days; an order can be appealed within 30 days.

Bhulekh Odisha — questions

What is the official website for Bhulekh Odisha?

bhulekh.ori.nic.in, run for the Revenue & Disaster Management Department and built by NIC Bhubaneswar. The map site is bhunakshaodisha.nic.in. Addresses such as bhulekh.odisha.gov.in do not exist, and sites with “bhulekh odisha” in a .com name are private — some copy the government’s layout. Viewing an RoR on the official portal is free.

How do I see my khatiyan on Bhulekh Odisha?

Open bhulekh.ori.nic.in, choose district, tahasil and village (the names are in Odia), then pick Khatiyan, Plot or Tenant and choose the number or name from the second list. Press View RoR. If a pop-up says the RoR will be viewed in Internet Explorer, choose “Proceed any way” — it opens in a modern browser.

Why is my RoR in Odia when I chose English?

The English switch changes the portal’s menus, not the record. The RoR itself is printed in Odia in every mode, because that is the language the settlement record is kept in. The decoder on this page gives each Odia heading as printed, its transliteration and its meaning, so you can read the record column by column.

What does 0800 in the decimal column mean?

The area column has two parts: “E.” for whole acres and “D.” for the fraction. The four-digit D. figure is in hundredths of a decimal, so 0800 is 8 decimals and 0525 would be 5.25. One decimal is one-hundredth of an acre, 435.6 sq ft. The hectare column beside it is the same area in hectares.

What is kisam in the Odisha RoR?

Kisam is the class of land recorded against each plot — irrigated two-crop land, homestead (gharabari), orchard (bagayat), grazing land (gochar) and so on. A June 2025 resolution cut more than 7,797 local kisam names down to 22 categories, but the remapping is being done district by district, so many RoRs still show the older local name.

Is a Bhulekh Odisha printout valid for a bank loan or court case?

The printout carries no signature or seal — only a blank space for stamping. For a bank, court or registrar, ask for a certified copy of the RoR through the tahasil or the e-District “Certified Copy of RoR” service at a common service centre. The Bhu-Naksha map site says its maps are for viewing only and not for any legal purpose.

My name is not on the RoR after I bought the land. What do I do?

The RoR changes only after a mutation. Since 2013 the registration office sends the sale details to the tahasildar to open a mutation case, which you can track under Case Status on the tahasil portal (dwistodisha.nic.in). If no case was opened, apply online at odisharevenueservices.nic.in. The published time limit for an uncontested mutation is 7 days.

How do I correct a mistake in my Odisha RoR?

Apply to the tahasildar under the Odisha Survey and Settlement Rules, 1962. Rule 34 lists six grounds — among them that everyone interested consents, a civil court has declared the entry wrong, or the entry “has no relationship with the existing facts”. Objections are invited for 15 days, and an order can be appealed within 30 days.

The RoR gives the area in acres and decimals; to see it in square feet, hectares or any other unit, use the land area converter. For other states’ portals, see land records by state; for Uttar Pradesh’s khatauni, see Bhulekh UP.
