Khajna arrears? Mutation stuck? Planning to build on shali land? The right portal, fee math and timelines for every land process in West Bengal — without the dalal.
At a glance: key portals and processes
All applications on official portals at notified fees · no middlemen · last verified: October 2026
Land paperwork in Bengal used to mean agents and office queues — but that has changed. Khajna payment, mutation, shali-to-bastu conversion, certified copies of deeds — nearly all of it is now self-service on banglarbhumi.gov.in at notified fees. And where the law's math matters — stamp duty for registration, acquisition compensation — what you need is accurate information. This hub organises those answers into four sections: Registry, Stamp Duty & Khajna, Mutation & Deeds, Land Class Conversion and Acquisition & Compensation.
Every guide keeps fees and timelines from official sources, and every guide carries a fraud warning — in land matters, the 'get it done fast' dalal is the biggest risk of all.

Frequently asked questions
What happens if khajna (land revenue) payment stops?
Interest keeps building on arrears, and every later application — mutation, conversion, certified copy — needs a current khajna receipt. After a GRIPS payment, always download and keep the dakila (receipt) once the GRN clears.
If a deed is lost, is ownership gone?
No — the original proof of ownership is the registration office record. A certified copy applied for on Banglarbhumi is valid everywhere: courts, banks, registration. Knowing the lost deed number and year makes the process faster.
What is the penalty for building on shali land without conversion?
It violates the West Bengal Land Reforms Act — khajna can be multiplied, penalties apply, and even eviction proceedings are possible. Apply for conversion on Banglarbhumi and get BLRO approval before building.
How much compensation does land acquisition pay?
Under RFCTLARR Act 2013: rural land gets 2× market value, urban 1×, plus 100% solatium on top — effectively 2–4× market value — along with employment and inflation-indexed benefit provisions.
Can these tasks be done without middlemen (dalals)?
Yes — khajna, mutation, conversion and certified copies are all self-service on banglarbhumi.gov.in at notified fees. Every guide on this hub links the official portal and lists the fee structure.
