Frequently asked
How do I check encumbrance certificate for property in Kandhamal?
Kandhamal land records are hosted on the Bhulekh Odisha portal (bhulekh.ori.nic.in). Search by Khatiyan, plot number, or owner name within the relevant tehsil. Cross-reference with the Encumbrance Certificate (Form 25) issued by the SRO before any transaction.
Is online encumbrance certificate sufficient or do I need a physical visit?
Online Bhulekh data is admissible but not always conclusive — Odisha title verification typically reconciles the online RoR (Khatiyan) with the Encumbrance Certificate and physical Sale Deed CCs. Kandhamal's SRO and Tahasildar offices remain the source of truth for legal admissibility.
