If an Odisha patta still carries a deceased parent’s or grandparent’s name, inheritance mutation is the process used to seek an update of the revenue record. Opening Bhulekh or searching in PlotIQ does not change that name. The concerned Tahasil handles the mutation case.
What does Column 2 mean here?
This video discusses patta Column 2, where the recorded raiyat’s name and associated particulars appear. Read the complete entry, including joint names, and confirm that you have the right village and Khata/Khatiyan. The department’s February 2024 instructions specifically address mutation cases for correcting Column 2 and the notice and hearing process.
For the rest of the document, see how to read an Odisha RoR. A name in a revenue record is not a complete ownership check, and mutation does not itself settle every inheritance or title dispute.
Prepare the record and family details
Keep the following ready before contacting the Tahasil or using the application form:
- The existing RoR, district, Tahasil, village, Khata/Khatiyan and relevant plot numbers.
- The recorded person’s details and death record or certificate.
- Names, relationships and addresses of the persons claiming as heirs; identify all concerned heirs rather than only the applicant.
- Identity and supporting family or succession documents requested for the case, plus any earlier order or case reference.
This is a preparation checklist, not a universal list of mandatory attachments. The official application asks for the mutation type and displays a document list. Confirm the current requirements with that portal or the Tahasil. A legal-heir certificate and a mutation order serve different purposes; obtaining one document does not by itself update the RoR.
Follow the case in four stages
- Check the existing entry. Use our Bhulekh lookup guide and save the current record for comparison. Confirm any unfamiliar Khatiyan, plot or tenant terms.
- Apply through the official route. Enter the applicant, property and mutation details on Odisha Revenue Services, or seek assistance from the concerned Tahasil. Follow the current upload and payment instructions. Retain the application number, acknowledgement and receipts.
- Follow notices, enquiries and the order. Record the mutation case number when one is assigned. Respond to the notices and document requests relevant to your case. The Survey and Settlement Rules provide for objections, an opportunity to be heard and correction of the record; an application acknowledgement is not approval.
- Read the updated RoR. After the order and record update, check the names, Khata/Khatiyan, plots, area and remarks against the order. Keep a copy of both the order and the updated record.
Common questions
Can one heir simply replace the deceased person’s name?
Do not assume that the applicant is the only person entitled to be recorded. Provide the relevant family details and follow the authority’s decision. Disagreement about heirs, shares or a will needs case-specific consideration.
How much does it cost, and how long will it take?
Use the current official fee demand and keep the receipt. The video’s fee references describe its recording context. Document gaps, objections and the type of case can affect progress; this guide does not promise a fixed completion date.
The case is disposed of, but the old name remains. What next?
Read the order first: disposal does not necessarily mean approval. Recheck the correct village and record, then contact the Tahasil with the order and case reference if the update is missing or differs from the decision. Bhulekh’s FAQ explains the displayed RoR information; it is not an application to change it.
PlotIQ is an independent information service, not a government mutation service. Use the official authority for applications and corrections, and qualified advice for a disputed inheritance or title.
