Important Tips

  1. Know your RI Circle โ€” Odisha uses RI Circle in the search hierarchy, which is different from other states; check with your local revenue office if unsure
  2. Use khatiyan number for complete records โ€” Searching by khatiyan gives all plots under one ownership, while plot search shows individual plot details
  3. Verify kissam before purchase โ€” Land classification determines what the land can be used for; agricultural land has restrictions on non-agricultural use
  4. Map view helps verify boundaries โ€” Use the mouza map to confirm plot boundaries before any land transaction
  5. Check both sabik and hal patta โ€” Compare previous and current records to understand ownership history
  • Check our Aadhaar guide for identity documents needed in property transactions
  • See the PAN card guide for tax requirements on property deals
