Bhadrak Sub-Registrar Office
Buying land in Bhadrak and worried the seller is dragging mutation? Here is the 2026 process at Bhadrak SRO, the fees, and the Section 36 Orissa Mutation Manual deadline that protects your title.
Bhadrak SRO basics
Location: Tahasil compound, Court Road. Hours 10:30 AM-5:00 PM Mon-Sat (except 2nd Saturdays). Book on the IGR Odisha portal up to 7 days ahead.
Stamp duty + fees (2026)
For Rs. 10 lakh residential plot: stamp duty 5%, registration 2%, mutation Rs. 200 flat, DEMP Rs. 100. Women get 1% stamp rebate. Tribal plots trigger Section 22A of the OLR Act.
The 45-day Section 36 deadline
Under Section 36 of the Orissa Mutation Manual, buyers MUST initiate mutation within 45 days of registration. Miss this and the Khatian stays in seller name, tax bills route to them, bank loans become hard, and seller-death scenarios hit Succession Act complications. Bhadrak Tahasil processing 30-45 days. Bring Sale Deed CC, Aadhaar+PAN, photos, parent-plot RoR from Bhulekh.
Common mistakes
Plot number mismatch (Sabik vs Hal), skipping the 13-year EC pull from IGR Odisha, no SC/ST clearance under Section 22A.
Next steps
Once mutation completes pull fresh Khatian and verify on Bhulekh Bhadrak. Anything off → get a title verification.
