You need your Khatian urgently — property registration tomorrow morning. You open banglarbhumi.gov.in. Browser shows: “Your connection is not private” / “NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID.”
The portal is not broken. Your internet is fine. The SSL certificate has expired on the government server — a common NIC maintenance issue. There are 5 ways to access your land records right now.
Banglarbhumi.gov.in — West Bengal’s official land records portal. 2.38 crore monthly transactions. Maintained by NIC (National Informatics Centre). When traffic is too high or SSL certificate lapses, the portal shows errors. This guide explains every fix.
Quick Answer (দ্রুত উত্তর): SSL Error Fix: Chrome → “Advanced” → “Proceed to banglarbhumi.gov.in (unsafe)” → site opens Best time: 6–9 AM daily — fewest errors, fastest speed Alternative 1: jomir-tothya.wb.gov.in (same data) Alternative 2: wburbanservices.org (urban properties) Down checker: downforeveryoneorjustme.com → check banglarbhumi.gov.in
Why Banglarbhumi is Not Opening — 3 Reasons
| Reason | Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| SSL certificate expired | “Your connection is not private” / ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID | Bypass (below) |
| Server overload | Site loads slowly / times out / blank page | Try 6-9 AM |
| Portal maintenance | Complete blank page or NIC maintenance message | Wait 2-4 hours |
The SSL error is the most common issue in 2026. NIC sometimes delays renewal. Server overload = peak hours (10 AM–4 PM on weekdays).
Fix 1 — Chrome SSL Bypass (Fastest)
Step 1: Open Chrome → type banglarbhumi.gov.in
Step 2: Error page appears — “Your connection is not private”
Step 3: Click “Advanced” (bottom of error page)
Step 4: Click “Proceed to banglarbhumi.gov.in (unsafe)”
Step 5: Site opens — use normally
This is safe for government portals — your data is not at risk. The error means the server’s certificate expired — the site itself is legitimate.
Fix 2 — Firefox SSL Bypass
Step 1: Open Firefox → type banglarbhumi.gov.in
Step 2: Error page — “Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead”
Step 3: Click “Advanced…”
Step 4: Click “Accept the Risk and Continue”
Step 5: Site opens normally
Fix 3 — Try HTTP Instead of HTTPS
If HTTPS is failing due to SSL, try the non-SSL version:
Type in browser: http://banglarbhumi.gov.in (not https)
Some NIC portals run on port 8080. Try: http://banglarbhumi.gov.in:8080 This bypasses SSL entirely.
Fix 4 — Clear Browser Cache
Sometimes old/corrupted SSL data causes repeated errors:
Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + Delete → Cached images and files → Clear data → Retry
Or: Open Chrome Incognito: Ctrl + Shift + N → banglarbhumi.gov.in
Fix 5 — Access at Best Time
Banglarbhumi server load by time:
| Time | Server Load | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| 6–9 AM | Very low | ✅ Best time — fastest, fewest errors |
| 9 AM–2 PM | Very high | ❌ Avoid — frequent timeouts |
| 2–5 PM | Moderate | 🟡 Acceptable |
| 7–10 PM | Low-Moderate | ✅ Good alternative |
| Weekends | Low | ✅ Better than weekdays |
2.38 crore transactions/month = ~80 lakh/day = massive traffic. Morning hours = significantly fewer users = faster loading.
⭐ Alternative Portals — Access Same Data
When banglarbhumi.gov.in is completely down:
| Portal | URL | What it has |
|---|---|---|
| Jomir Tothya | jomir-tothya.wb.gov.in | Khatian, plot info — same database |
| WB Urban Services | wburbanservices.org | Urban property encumbrance, khatian |
| e-District WB | edistrict.wb.gov.in | Certificates, land records |
| WB Registration | wbregistration.gov.in | Deed search, property registration |
Jomir Tothya = most useful alternative = same Khatian and plot data. Try this first when banglarbhumi is down.
⭐ Is Banglarbhumi Really Down or Just Slow?
Check before troubleshooting:
Step 1: Visit downforeveryoneorjustme.com
Step 2: Enter: banglarbhumi.gov.in → Click “or just me?”
Step 3:
- “It’s just you” = your network/browser issue → use fixes above
- “It’s not just you” = site is actually down → use alternative portals
Which Service is Affected vs Not?
When SSL error only (site works after bypass):
- All services work — Khatian search, plot info, mutation status, RoR
When server is overloaded (site loads but slow):
- Basic Khatian search may work
- Certified copy download = likely timeout
When completely down (NIC maintenance):
- Use alternative portals above

Mobile — Fix for Phone Browsers
Android Chrome: Tap “Advanced” → “Proceed to banglarbhumi.gov.in” — same as desktop

Mobile tip: Use WiFi instead of mobile data — NIC servers sometimes behave differently on mobile networks.
