Gone are the days when verifying land ownership meant making endless trips to government offices. In a significant move towards transparency and digitalization, the Odisha Government has made land records easily accessible to every citizen through its official Bhulekh Odisha portal. Whether you are buying a new property or simply want to verify your ancestral land, you can now check the Record of Rights (ROR) directly on your mobile phone from the comfort of your home.
Here is a simple, step-by-step guide on how to check your land records online using your smartphone.

Step-by-Step Guide to Check Land Records (ROR)

To view land details, you do not need to download any specific third-party application. The official government website is mobile-friendly and secure.

  • Visit the Official Portal: Open a browser like Google Chrome or Safari on your mobile phone and visit bhulekh.ori.nic.in.
  • Select Your Location: On the homepage, you will see dropdown menus. Carefully select your District, Tahasil, Village, and RI Circle from the list.
  • Choose a Search Option: The portal provides three simple ways to search for a property:
  • Khatiyan Number: Use this if you know the specific account number of the holding.
  • Plot Number: Best for checking details of a specific piece of land.
  • Tenant Name: Useful if you want to search by the owner's name.
  • View the Record: After entering the details, click on the "ROR Front Page" or "ROR Back Page" button. The complete land record, including ownership details, land type, and area, will appear on your screen.

How to Check Land Maps (Bhu Naksha)

Apart from text records, you can also view the visual map of your land. 
  • On the same website, click on the "Map View" or "Bhu Naksha" tab.
  • Select your district and block details again.
  • The system will display a digitized village map. You can zoom in to find your specific plot and verify its boundaries.

Important Tips for Mobile Users

While many private apps claim to offer these services on the Play Store, experts recommend using the official Bhulekh website or the government-authorized KYL Odisha app (by ORSAC) for location services to ensure data safety. Always double-check the URL to avoid fake websites.
By using this digital facility, citizens in Odisha can now ensure their property details are accurate without paying any fees or agents. This initiative is a major step in empowering landowners with information at their fingertips. 

How to Download or Print Your Land Records (ROR) as PDF

Since the Bhulekh Odisha website is designed primarily for desktop views, saving the file on a mobile phone requires a small "trick" using the print function. Here is the step-by-step method for both Android and iPhone users.

1. For the Text Record (ROR)

Once you have opened your land record (ROR Front or Back Page) on the screen:
  • Locate the Print Button: Look for the "Print" button directly on the website page (usually at the bottom or top corner of the record).
  • Open Print Preview: Clicking this will open your phone’s default printing screen. 

Save PDF

  • On Android: Tap the dropdown menu where it lists printers (e.g., "HP Printer") and select "Save as PDF". Then tap the yellow/blue PDF icon to save the file to your "Downloads" folder.
  • On iPhone (iOS): On the print preview screen, perform a "pinch-out" gesture (spread two fingers apart on the preview image). This converts the page into a PDF. Then tap the Share icon (square with an arrow) and choose "Save to Files".

2. For the Map (Bhu Naksha)

Downloading the map requires a slightly different button:
  • Navigate to the "Map View" tab and find your plot.
  • Look for a button labeled "Map Report" or "Show Report PDF" (usually in the side menu after selecting a plot).
  • This will automatically generate a PDF of your plot map.
  • Tap the Download button that appears to save it to your phone.
Pro Tip: If the "Print" button doesn't appear or work, use your browser's built-in menu (three dots on Chrome or the 'Aa'/'Share' button on Safari), select "Share," and then choose "Print" from there to access the "Save as PDF" option.
