What is ROR (Record of Rights) in Odisha?
The Record of Rights (ROR), known as Khatiyan in Odia, is the official land ownership document maintained by the Odisha Revenue Department. It establishes legal ownership of land in Odisha and contains comprehensive details about property ownership, area, revenue payable, and land classification.

How ROR Records are Updated in Odisha
ROR records in Odisha are updated through the mutation process (known as "Dakhil Kharij"). When property ownership changes through sale, inheritance, gift, or partition, the new owner must apply for mutation at the tehsil office. The mutation process typically takes 30 to 90 days depending on the complexity and verification requirements, though timelines may vary and once mutation is completed, the ROR is updated to reflect the new ownership.
