1. RERA-Odisha: This is an Odisha state government website of the Realestate Regulatory Authority that records authorized real estate projects, registered agents, their application status, etc. You can use this website to scrutinize the authenticity of the apartment project you are investing in. It clarifies if the project is made following the rules and regulations laid by the Govt. of Odisha.
From a new consumer perspective, if you are entering the website, you need to check for a few important things which will help you in the long run of hunting your dream apartment or house. Firstly you need to click on the act and rules tab where you can find a file named "Odisha Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Rules, 2017." In this pdf file, go to the Annexure-A page (Agreement for sale) where you can find the full format of the builder-buyer agreement/ agreement for sale. The agreement for sale format is the legally accepted format registered by RERA and is admissible as evidence in the court of law.
You need to download the format and cross-check it with the builder's provided format (if any). Before initiating any advance payment to the builder, you need to sign the agreement of sale with him for your future security. You may also take the help of a legal practitioner or lawyer for drafting the agreement. To know more about the Agreement of sale, read my blog, " How to buy an apartment?"
Secondly, you need to click on the projects tab > Offline/ Online projects > Registered projects. Select the project type as residential, fill up the project name and the registration number of the project to be provided by the respective builder(promoter). By filling in any of the above information, you can also get the full details of the project you are investing in. Project documents like registration certificate, approval letter of the planning authority, approved building plan, and layout plan can be downloaded from there as proof of authenticity. If you are consulting with an agent, you can also check his credentials by filling up his agent registration number in the real estate agent tab. You can also file a complaint against the faulty real-estate practices you faced from a promoter or an agent there.
2. IGR-Odisha: Inspector General of Registration Revenue & Disaster Management Department is a government of Odisha website. This is the most important website to visit for a property buyer. Starting from the government-allowed property benchmark value of each area to the online application of sale deed, you can reduce numerous complexities just by utilizing this website.
In the property benchmark valuation tab, you can know the areawise property valuation allocated by the government, stamp duty on a plot, and registration fees of the respective plot by following simple steps. You can also apply for the encumbrance certificate by clicking over the "apply for encumbrance certificate" tab. There is a complete guide on how to draft and file an online sale deed too.
3. Development Authority/ municipal corporation website: There are specific development authorities for different cities. Each development entity has there own website. Basically, on these websites, you can check the signs of progress prevailing or the executed in the nearby locality based on your preferences and proximities.
For example, if we consider the case of Bhubaneswar, the BDA website is what you should refer to. BDA approval is also a vital document to look for while buying a property. The websites help in doing so.
4. Bhulekh Odisha: Bhulekh Odisha is the land record web portal of Odisha maintained under the surveillance of the Government of Odisha.

On this website, you can input the district name, tahasil office, village name, and either the plot number or the khatiyan number to download the RoR pages.
5. Bhunaksha Odisha: As Bhulekh Odisha gives the RoR copy of the plot, similarly Bhunaksha Odisha gives the map copy of the plot. By filling up simple information about the location of the plot, you can download its map from the land map record archives of the revenue department, Government of Odisha.
6. E- Pauti: E-pauti is the land revenue payment web portal of Odisha hold by the Revenue and Disaster Management Department. You can pay, download and verify revenue receipt/ property tax receipt only by knowing the proper location of the plot you are willing to invest in.
