• Incomplete Regional Coverage: Users may not find records for specific villages because digitisation is ongoing; troubleshoot by checking the "Digital Survey" status page to see if your village has been integrated.

• Incorrect Search Results: Searching with wrong identifiers leads to no record found errors; fix by verifying block and survey numbers against your original land tax receipts or title deeds.

• Transaction and Payment Delays: High traffic can cause timeouts during e-Treasury redirects; resolve this by using a stable connection and confirming your bank supports the required internet banking mode.

• Data and Boundary Mismatches: Digital maps may contain errors; troubleshoot by filing an Original Land Complaint (OLC) or applying for an LRM correction (re-demarcation) via the portal’s integrated services.
