Online Khajna Payment: Application and Status Check
Paying Khajna (Land Revenue) is a mandatory duty for every landowner in West Bengal. Previously, one had to visit the BL&LRO office and stand in queues to pay this tax. Now, the West Bengal government has introduced the Online Khajna Payment facility through the BanglarBhumi portal.
Regular payment of Khajna ensures that your land records remain updated and prevents any legal complications regarding ownership.
