Odisha Land Services: November 2026 Figures
The Revenue and Disaster Management Department's dashboard counts every application for four land services in Odisha. This is its table as it stood on 12 November 2026, counting from 1 January 2026, with the rejections worked out as a share of the decisions.
What the figures show
Three findings
- 6,19,238 applications for mutation since 1 January 2026: 4,71,274 approved and 1,46,035 rejected, so 23.7% of the decisions were rejections.
- A mutation took a median of 40 days to approve (an average of 39). The dashboard's ORTPSA timeline for the service is 7 days, and it counts 26,240 applications beyond it.
- Conversion of agricultural land under Section 8-A: 81,042 rejected and 73,033 approved, 52.6% of the decisions. The median approval took 71 days.

Method
How the table was read
The dashboard's public page was read once, as any visitor opens it, and only its table was kept: the four services, each column as the department prints it, under the table's own title and its "since" date. The header is checked cell by cell before any number is taken, so a changed table stops the read. "Rejected, of decisions" is the rejected applications divided by the approved and rejected together; nothing else is estimated. The law the timelines come from is explained in how mutation works in Odisha.
What the table does not say
- District figures. The dashboard has a district view; this series reads only the state table every visitor sees first.
- Whether "beyond ORTPSA" counts applications already decided, still pending, or both. The dashboard does not define it.
- Anything about an application, a person or a plot. The series holds the state totals only.
- For conversion (s.8-a), approvals and rejections together (1,54,075) exceed the applications counted (1,50,679). The dashboard does not say how the two are counted, so each is shown as printed and shares are taken of decisions only.
