Bhumi Jankari Odisha 2026: Complete Land Information Guide

Bhumi Jankari means "land information" — the complete set of official data about any land parcel in Odisha. Accessing full Bhumi Jankari for a property requires four separate government portals, each providing a different type of information. This guide explains what each portal does, how to use it, and how to combine them for thorough property research across all 30 Odisha districts.

The Four Pillars of Bhumi Jankari in Odisha

1. Bhulekh — Record of Rights (RoR / Khatiyan)

Portal: bhulekh.ori.nic.in

Bhulekh is the official digital repository of the Record of Rights (RoR), also called Khatiyan. It is maintained by the Revenue and Disaster Management Department, Government of Odisha and is the starting point for any Bhumi Jankari search. The RoR shows:

• Owner (Tenant) name and father's name
• Khata number (group of plots owned by the same person in a village)
• All plot numbers and their individual areas in acres and hectares
• Land classification (agricultural, homestead, jungle, forest)
• Tenancy type and any encumbrances recorded in revenue records

How to search: Open bhulekh.ori.nic.in → Select District, Tahasil, Village → Choose search by Khatiyan Number, Plot Number, or Tenant Name → Click View RoR.

2. Bhunaksha — Cadastral Map

Portal: bhunakshaodisha.nic.in

Bhunaksha is the official cadastral map portal. It shows the physical shape, size, and boundaries of every plot as a polygon on a digital map. Use it to:

• Verify the plot's shape and actual boundary
• Identify neighbouring plots and their owners
• Check access roads and proximity to water bodies
• Download a Map Report PDF for due diligence

How to search: Open bhunakshaodisha.nic.in → Select District, Tahasil, Village → Enter Plot Number → View highlighted polygon and Plot Info panel.

3. IGR Odisha — Encumbrance Certificate & Registration History

Portal: igrodisha.gov.in

IGR Odisha is the official property registration portal. Its Encumbrance Certificate (EC) service lists all registered transactions on a property — sales, mortgages, gifts, leases — during a requested period. Use it to:

• Confirm there are no existing mortgages on the property
• Verify prior ownership transfers match what the seller claims
• Check for any pending liabilities before purchase

How to get EC: Open igrodisha.gov.in → Online EC → Enter district, sub-registrar office, property details, and date range → Pay nominal fee → Download EC.

4. RCCMS — Revenue Court Disputes

Portal: bhulekh.ori.nic.in/rccms/

RCCMS (Revenue Court Case Management System) tracks all pending revenue court cases in Odisha. Before buying land, search by the seller's name in the relevant district and Tahasil to check for:

• Mutation (Dakhil Kharij) disputes
• Partition cases involving the property
• RoR correction disputes
• Encroachment complaints

What is a Khatiyan in Odisha?

A Khatiyan is the Record of Rights (RoR) document that groups all plots owned by the same person or co-owners in a village. It is the primary proof of land rights in Odisha. The Khatiyan number groups multiple plots belonging to the same owner(s). On Bhulekh, searching by Khatiyan number reveals all plots under that record, useful when an owner has multiple plots in a single village.

Land Classification in Odisha (Bhulekh)

The RoR on Bhulekh shows land classification for each plot:

• Anabadi: Cultivated agricultural land
• Jungle: Uncultivated/jungle land
• Basti: Homestead/residential land
• Danga / Pada / Dihi: Elevated, low-lying, or waste land
• Forest Reserve: Government forest land — cannot be purchased

Converting agricultural land to non-agricultural use requires a separate conversion order from the Revenue department.

bhulekh.ori.nic.in covers all 30 districts of Odisha, including Khordha (Bhubaneswar), Cuttack, Puri, Ganjam, Balasore, Sambalpur, Sundargarh, and Mayurbhanj. Select your District, then Tahasil, then Village to begin your search.
