Odisha e-District Status Code Decoder
Understanding what each status message means in the revenue pipeline:
Your application has been received electronically and is registered in the Tahasil computer database. It is queued for assignment to the concerned Revenue Circle.
The Tahasildar has dispatched your file to your local Revenue Inspector (RI). The RI will cross-verify Bhulekh RoR records, check your ancestral village domicile, and conduct a field inquiry if you applied under the landless category.
The Revenue Inspector has submitted a favorable field verification report. The file is now on the digital desk of the Tahasildar or Additional Tahasildar for final approval and e-Sign cryptographic token signing.
The Revenue Inspector or Tahasildar requires additional evidence (e.g., legible RoR copy, Vanshavali clarification, or father's school certificate). Log in to your ServicePlus dashboard immediately, click on the query notification, upload the requested document, and resubmit within 15 days to avoid cancellation.
Your caste certificate has been approved and digitally signed. You can download the official PDF directly from the dashboard or through the Quick Download section using your reference number.
Tracking Applications Submitted via Mo Seva Kendra (MSK)
If an operator at a village Mo Seva Kendra (MSK) or Common Service Centre (CSC) submitted your application:
- Physical Receipt: You must retain the printed acknowledgement receipt containing the printed Application Reference Number.
- Universal Status: MSK submissions operate on the identical ServicePlus backend. You can track your status on any smartphone by visiting
edistrict.odisha.gov.inwithout needing the MSK operator. - SMS Alerts (Mo Sarkar): The Government of Odisha sends automatic SMS alerts to your registered mobile number when the Revenue Inspector submits their report and when the certificate is generated.
How to Escalate Delayed Applications in Odisha
