Banglarbhumi is an official online portal launched by the Government of West Bengal to simplify land and property record management for citizens. It provides a transparent and hassle-free way to access land-related details without the need to visit government offices physically. This includes information like the owner’s name, land area, plot number, property valuation, and present ownership status. Such details are essential for both prospective buyers and existing landowners. It also allows people to apply for important certificates such as the Record of Rights (RoR) and other land-related documents. By digitising these services, Banglarbhumi enhances accessibility, reduces paperwork, and promotes efficiency in land record management across the state.
Banglarbhumi is the official land records portal managed by the Land & Land Reforms and Refugee Relief and Rehabilitation Department, Government of West Bengal. As of 2025, the portal has introduced an updated interface and faster mutation-tracking system (ref: Government Notification No. LLRRR/2025/04).
Banglarbhumi is a digital platform managed by the Land and Land Reforms Department of West Bengal that serves as a one-stop solution for land-related information and services. It is designed to bring transparency to land governance by offering citizens direct access to records that were previously available only through government offices. The portal caters to individuals, property buyers, developers, and legal professionals by making crucial data available online securely and reliably. It also streamlines administrative processes by reducing delays, minimising errors in documentation, and cutting down on middleman involvement. Through this system, the state has modernised land management and made it more user-friendly for the public.
Banglarbhumi is a step towards digital India, covering many key benefits like:
| Benefit | Why It Matters (Added Context) |
