Government Portals and Directories in India: Official Websites for Every Service
India has hundreds of government websites, and finding the right one can be confusing. This guide lists the main official government portals by purpose, explains the national directory, and shows how to avoid fake sites. Always start from an official address ending in .gov.in or .nic.in.
National Gateways and Directories
- india.gov.in: the National Portal of India, the main gateway to information and services.
- iGOD: the Integrated Government Online Directory, a single access point to government websites across sectors and levels.
- MyGov: citizen engagement platform for discussions and contests.
- data.gov.in: open government data.
One-Stop Apps for Many Services
UMANG is a unified app and web platform that brings many central and state services to one place, including bill payments and tracking of services. It connects with Aadhaar and DigiLocker, but each service still runs on its own portal.
DigiLocker lets you store and share verified digital copies of documents such as certificates and cards.
Find Government Schemes
Use myScheme to search schemes by your profile, such as age, state, occupation and category. It is useful for students, farmers, women, senior citizens and small businesses.
Important Portals by Need

State Government Portals
Each state runs its own portals for certificates, land records, ration cards, pensions and local complaints. Many states list their services on e-District or similar platforms. Search for “[your state] government portal” and confirm the address ends in .gov.in or .nic.in.
How to Spot a Fake Government Website
- Check that the address ends in .gov.in or .nic.in.
- Look for https and a padlock, though this alone is not proof.
- Be cautious of sites that charge extra “service” or “processing” fees for free government services.
- Reach the portal from the National Portal or the department’s official page.
- For apps, check the publisher name, such as “MeitY, Government Of India” for UMANG.
Tips for Using Government Portals
- Create accounts only on the official site and use strong passwords.
- Keep your mobile number linked and active for OTP verification.
- Save acknowledgement or reference numbers after every application.
- If a portal is down, try again later or use its official mobile app or helpline.
