Revenue Division
A revenue division is an administrative division of a district in some states of India for the purpose of revenue administration.
It comprises multiple tehsils. For states where it exists(Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Telangana) it is the equivalent of a Subdivision. Revenue division is headed by a sub-divisional magistrate (also known as assistant collector, sub collector, or assistant commissioner). In some states, the post is designated as Revenue Divisional Officer (RDO) or Sub-Divisional Officer (Civil).
Revenue division should not be confused with divisions of a state. States are divided into multiple divisions (headed by divisional commissioners in some states), and these divisions are further divided into districts (headed by district magistrates, collectors, or deputy commissioners).
Odisha
Revenue division is not synonymous with sub-division in every Indian state. In Odisha, a division is known as "revenue division" and divisional commissioner as Revenue Divisional Commissioner (RDC), while revenue divisions within a district are strictly known as sub-divisions. The constitution of revenue divisions and the appointment of Revenue Divisional Commissioners is as per the Orissa Revenue Divisional Commissioners Act, 1957.
