Bhubaneswar, Nov 12: Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi has approved amendments to the Odisha Survey and Settlement Rules to simplify the process of obtaining land titles for property buyers.

The revised rules are expected to benefit many individuals who purchased land before the Settlement Operation but have not yet received the Record of Rights (RoR) in their names.

Earlier, land buyers had to file appeals with the Board of Revenue or other authorized Revision Courts—a process that often led to long delays due to heavy caseloads. Under the new provisions, Tehsildars have been granted the authority to directly record land titles in the buyer’s name, eliminating the need for appeals to higher authorities.

With this amendment, buyers can now approach their respective Tehsildars to secure the title deed for their legally purchased land, making the entire process faster, simpler, and more convenient.
