A severe server issue on the WBIFMS portal has caused major concerns for state government employees of West Bengal. The problems began on March 12, 2026, when users started encountering error messages such as ‘503 Service Unavailable’ and ‘404 Page not found’.

The Finance Department of the Government of West Bengal had previously issued a directive requiring the preparation of e-Service Books by March 20. This directive mandates that the Service Book custodian upload a scanned copy of the physical service book onto the portal, and employees must then fill in all the details of their e-Service Book online by referring to this uploaded document.

However, the ongoing server outage has made it practically impossible for employees to complete these tasks within the established timeframe. The situation is exacerbated by the financial year-end rush, which typically increases workloads significantly.

As a result, there are strong demands from various quarters to extend the deadline for uploading and filling out the e-Service Books. Employees have expressed concerns that completing the process by the stipulated date is unrealistic if the portal does not stabilize quickly.

The normal functioning of government offices is severely disrupted due to these technical issues. Given this situation, strong demands are emerging from various quarters to extend the deadline.

March is synonymous with the extreme rush of the financial year-end in government offices, making the current technical difficulties even more pressing. Employees are anxiously awaiting updates on the portal’s status and any potential adjustments to the deadlines.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding when the WBIFMS portal will be fully operational again, but the urgency of the situation is clear. The Finance Department has yet to issue any official statements addressing the ongoing issues or the possibility of extending the deadline.
