Bhu Naksha Odisha: How to Check Online (2026 Guide)

At a glance

How the map and the RoR fit together

Odisha keeps two linked land records for every village (mouza):

• Record of Rights, or khatiyan (ଖତିୟାନ): the text record listing each holding, its tenant (holder), the plot numbers, the class of land (kisam) and the area. It is viewed on Bhulekh and maintained at the Tahasil.
• Village map, or naksha: the survey map showing every plot by number, its shape and its neighbours. It is viewed on BhuNaksha Odisha.

The two are joined by the plot number. An NIC report on Bhunaksha training in Jajpur district in 2017 explains that the project creates spatial data for village maps, both as a mosaic and as individual sheets, and links it to the textual RoR data. That is why you can move from a khatiyan to the plot's map, or from a plot on the map to its record.

Odisha's records are organised Tahasil by Tahasil, with each Tahasil split into Revenue Inspector (RI) circles and each RI circle into villages. Have those names ready before you search. Our Bhulekh Odisha guide covers the RoR side in full.

Step by step: open a plot map on BhuNaksha Odisha

The first screen of BhuNaksha Odisha asks only for the district. The later screens follow the standard Bhunaksha layout, which can change, so the steps describe the flow rather than exact labels.

1. Collect the district, Tahasil, RI circle, village name and plot number from the seller's RoR or deed.
2. Open bhunakshaodisha.nic.in. From "Select District", pick the district and click Proceed.
3. On the map screen, choose the Tahasil, then the RI circle, then the village. Where a village spans several sheets, pick the sheet.
4. When the village map loads, zoom in and either type the plot number into the plot search or click on the plot.
5. Read the plot information shown: plot number, area and, where linked, the khatiyan details.
6. Use the plot report or print option to save the plot map as a PDF. Note the date.
7. Repeat for each plot in the sale and write down the plot numbers on every side.

Getting the plot map from a Bhulekh RoR

Many buyers search "Bhulekh Odisha plot details map" because the map can also be reached from the record. NIC notes that when viewing an RoR, users can view or print the associated plot maps, and that residents can print village maps for reference.

1. Open bhulekh.ori.nic.in and choose to view the Record of Rights.
2. Select district, Tahasil and village, then search by khatiyan number, plot number or tenant name.
3. Open the RoR and look for the map or plot map link against the plot numbers.
4. Open the plot map and print or save it alongside the RoR page.

Bhulekh blocks automated reading, so we could not record the exact name of the map link. If you do not see one, use BhuNaksha Odisha directly with the plot number from the RoR.

How to read the plot map

NIC's Bhunaksha software produces a plot report with a map of the area plus location and owner information, printable at different scales. When you have it, check:

• Shape and frontage: does the outline match what you saw on site, including the side that touches the road?
• Neighbouring plot numbers: these should match the boundaries written in the deed.
• Area: compare with the RoR area, keeping units the same. Our land measurement units guide explains acres and decimals.
• Roads, channels and government plots: note any adjoining plots recorded as government land, roads or water bodies, which affect access and use.
• Sub-divided plots: a plot split after the survey may carry new numbers. Make sure the part being sold is the part you visited.

For symbols, scale and common traps, read how to read a Bhu Naksha map and matching a plot number to the land on the ground.

When the map and the record disagree

When land is sold or divided, the RoR is updated through a mutation case at the Tahasil. The Revenue and Disaster Management Department has issued an e-Mutation Manual (December 2018) and circulars on sending Form No. 3 from registration offices through e-Registration to start mutation cases automatically. NIC's 2017 training covered splitting a plot on the map using point measurements, which is how map updates follow a sub-division.

Map updates can lag behind the RoR. If the RoR shows a sub-divided plot that the map does not, or the area differs, ask the Tahasil or the Revenue Inspector before you rely on either. We could not confirm the current time limit for mutation or for map correction. Our mutation guide and demarcation guide explain the next steps, and our ULPIN explainer covers the national parcel ID.

What to check before you rely on it

• Plot on the seller's RoR: every plot in the deed should appear in the seller's khatiyan and on the map.
• Kisam: check the land class on the RoR; it affects what you can do with the land.
• Old map: digitised survey maps can be off at the edges; get the boundary marked on the ground.
• Access: confirm a recorded road or path touches the plot.
• Pending mutation: ask the Tahasil whether any mutation case is open on the plot.
• Not a title document: the map shows location, not ownership. Confirm title with deeds and a local advocate, using our land due diligence checklist.
