Is eCourts Mission Mode Project Down?

If you're experiencing issues with eCourts Mission Mode Project, try these troubleshooting steps:

Basic Steps

• 1. Verify your internet connection. The eCourts portal relies on a stable connection to fetch case statuses, cause lists, and e-filing forms. Check if other websites load normally. If not, restart your router or switch networks (e.g., mobile hotspot).
• 2. Clear your browser cache and cookies. Outdated cached data from the eCourts portal can cause pages to render incorrectly or freeze. Go to your browser settings and clear cache and site data for ecourts.gov.in, then refresh the page.
• 3. Try a different browser or use incognito mode. The eCourts Mission Mode Project supports Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Disable browser extensions (like ad blockers or VPNs) that might interfere with the portal's scripts or pop-ups, especially for e-filing and payment modules.
• 4. Test on another device. If the case search or display boards aren't loading on your mobile, try a desktop computer. A device-specific plugin or local firewall may be blocking the portal.
• 5. Check if the issue is time-sensitive. Between 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM on working days, server load spikes are common. If you see an error like "Request Timed Out" or "502 Bad Gateway", wait 10-15 minutes and retry.

Intermediate Steps

• 1. Verify the specific eCourts module you are using. The platform has distinct sub-systems: Case Status, Cause List, e-Filing, e-Pay, and e-District. A problem on one module (e.g., OTP not being sent for e-filing) does not mean the whole site is down. Try a different module to isolate the failure.
• 2. Check your local DNS resolution. Sometimes the domain ecourts.gov.in may resolve to an old or unreachable server. Flush your DNS cache (on Windows: ipconfig /flushdns; on macOS: sudo dscacheutil -flushcache). Alternatively, switch your DNS to a public resolver (like 8.8.8.8) temporarily.
• 3. Test with a proxy or hotspot. Corporate or institutional networks often block government portal ports (especially 443 or custom ports used for case file downloads). Use your mobile's network (not Wi-Fi) to see if the portal loads. If it works, the issue is your local network firewall.
• 4. Disable any antivirus or web filtering software temporarily. Security tools sometimes flag the eCourts portal's digital signature validation as suspicious, causing pages to blank out or show "ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR". Whitelist ecourts.gov.in in your security suite and reload.
