This paper investigates English lexical items mixing with Chhattisgarhi in social media platform on Instagram app. India is a multilingual country there are mostly people is mixing two or more language in their everyday conversation and sometimes in written form. Mainly focuses on this paper what kind of code-mixing used by Chhattisgarhi Instagram users within their mother tongue. For this study totally I selected four Chhattisgarhi Instagram public pages/accounts that accounts users are everyday post some photos, short videos and Insta story in Chhattisgarhi and mixed some different category of English lexical items. I collected data from these pages/accounts and taken some screenshot of Instagram post and Insta story for this study, after that I selected data represented in IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) script. Based on the selected data I find out the different types of code-mixing used by Chhattisgarhi users on Instagram apps such as intra-sentential code-mixing, phrase mixing, involving Change of pronunciation, phonetic realization and reduplication/repetition of word. I noticed this study when users mixing English lexical items in Chhattisgarhi then some Chhattisgarhi case marker like genitive (GEN), ablative (ABL), accusative (ACC) etc., attached with English words but here users only Genitive (GEN) case marker kɛ attached with English word. The written by users sometimes  different spelling according to pronunciation in many posts and inserted vowel and consonant in several places when they inserted English lexical item in their Chhattisgarhi language.
