Protecting your land in Odisha, from wherever you live.

Odisha’s land records are kept as the Record of Rights (khatian), which you can view on Bhulekh Odisha by khata or plot number. Odia families abroad often hold paddy land or a homestead plot in their village, or land on the growing edges of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack. Coastal districts see cyclones and floods, which can change land on the ground as well as hide what is happening on it.

What to watch for

Common risks for NRI land in Odisha

  • Paddy land left with relatives or sharecroppers without written terms.
  • Plots near Bhubaneswar, Cuttack and industrial areas being fenced or sold as the cities grow.
  • Cyclone and flood damage that moves embankments and field boundaries.
  • Inherited land still recorded in a deceased parent’s name.

What helps

Practical tips

  • Check your ROR on Bhulekh Odisha and download the plot map where available.
  • Apply for mutation after inheriting so the ROR shows the current owners.
  • After a cyclone or major flood, ask for a satellite check of your plot to see what changed.

How it works

Three minutes to set up. Then we keep watch.

  1. Step 1

    Tell us where your land is

    Drop a pin on the map, or give the village and the survey, khasra, gat or dag number. About three minutes. No documents to upload, no power of attorney, no visits.

  2. Step 2

    We watch it on two fronts

    Every clear satellite image of your plot is compared with its own history — crops, digging, new building. And in 19 states we read your official land record every week for new owners or mutations.

  3. Step 3

    A person tells you what it means

    Each month a short update lands in your email. If something changes, our team checks it first, then explains it on WhatsApp or a call — in English or your home language.

Questions

Odisha: questions NRIs ask

Use Bhulekh Odisha. Select your district, tahasil and village, then search by khata number, plot number or tenant name to view the Record of Rights.

The plot number identifies a single parcel of land; the khata number is the owner’s account that can contain several plots. Both appear on the Record of Rights.
