Social Registry Official Domain Safety: Avoid Lookalike Government Sites
How to identify the real West Bengal Social Registry portal and avoid entering Aadhaar or OTP data on lookalike domains.
The correct West Bengal Family Level Data Collection Portal is socialregistry.wb.gov.in. That exact address matters because search results can include explanatory sites, ads and domains that resemble a government service.
Check the end of the domain
The official portal ends in wb.gov.in. A domain containing words such as social registry, gov or West Bengal is not automatically a government site if its actual ending is different.
Use government cross-links
When possible, reach the service from a Government of West Bengal page rather than typing a link copied from a forwarded message. Cross-linking from an established government site provides another verification signal.
Look for the portal identity
The real page identifies itself as the Government of West Bengal Family Level Data Collection Portal and states that it is designed by NIC, with content, data, process and operation maintained by the Finance Department.
Protect Aadhaar and EPIC data
Identity numbers should not be entered into an unrelated informational site. Use the official portal or a designated government office when the application requires those documents.
Never forward an OTP
OTP codes are authentication credentials. If someone asks you to send the OTP by chat, phone or social media so they can “check status,” that is not the normal public portal process described by the government.
This site's own status
Social Registry Gov In Guide is an independent explanatory site, not the government portal. Use our official source page whenever you need to move from reading information to taking an official action.
