★ Approvals

How a plotted layout in Bhubaneswar gets approved.

The usual path from raw land to plots you can sell. The exact steps depend on where the land is.

  1. Check the ROR and title

    The record of rights (khatiyan), the plot and khata numbers, the encumbrance and the title chain.

  2. Convert the land

    Get the agricultural land converted for homestead or residential use under Section 8-A.

  3. Design the layout

    Road widths, open space and plot sizes to BDA’s planning and building standards.

  4. Get BDA layout approval

    Apply to BDA for approval of the layout plan.

  5. Register with ORERA

    Layouts above 500 sq m or with more than 8 plots must be registered before marketing.

  6. Develop and hand over

    Roads, drains, power and water as approved, then sale deeds plot by plot.
