Banglar Bhumi: Accessing Land Records in West Bengal
Banglar Bhumi, the West Bengal government's comprehensive online land records portal, developed in collaboration with the WB NIC team, serves as a central repository of land information. The platform offers detailed records for an impressive 42,042 Mouzas and over 4.30 crore Khatians, covering the entire state and catering to the significant portion of the population engaged in agriculture.
With over 300,000 individuals holding Patta in West Bengal, as per a recent survey by the Department of West Bengal, efficient access to land information is paramount. Banglar Bhumi addresses this need, enabling users to access pertinent land and property data via the official website (http://www.banglarbhumi.gov.in/) using the owner's name and property details.
