Question 1

What is a plot number in Odisha?

Accepted Answer

It's the unique identifier for a land parcel assigned by the revenue department. It appears in your RoR, Khatian, and on Bhu Naksha maps. It's how you search for your land online.

Question 2

What is the Khatian?

Accepted Answer

It's the ownership register that records who owns which plot(s) in a village. It includes area, boundaries, and ownership history. Your RoR is extracted from the Khatian.

Question 3

Where do I find my plot number?

Accepted Answer

It's in your RoR, property deed, or revenue receipt. Or search Bhulekh by your name and village name — it will show all plot numbers you own.

Question 4

Why do I need both RoR and Bhu Naksha?

Accepted Answer

RoR is the legal record (ownership, extent, encumbrances). Bhu Naksha is the map (visual boundaries). Together they confirm you have the right land and identify neighbors.

Question 5

Are Bhulekh and Bhu Naksha records free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All RoR, Khatian, and Bhu Naksha data are free on government portals. Do not pay brokers for basic extracts.
