localhost:11501 — Khajane 2

Port 11501 is used by Khajane 2 — the Government of Karnataka's Integrated Financial Management System. If you're a government employee in Karnataka handling treasury work, this is the application you use daily for challan generation, bill processing, salary disbursement, and pension payments. It runs as a desktop application that creates a local web server, which you access through your browser.

Unlike most ports on this site (which are developer tools), Khajane 2 is used by accountants, treasury officers, and administrative staff across thousands of government offices in Karnataka. The application is installed on individual workstations and connects to the central treasury database over the government network.

Before You Start

Khajane 2 is a desktop application, not a website. You can't access it by just typing the URL — the software must be installed and running on your computer first. The application creates a local web server on port 11501 that serves the interface to your browser. If you haven't installed Khajane 2, contact your district treasury office or IT department for the installation package.

Make sure you're using the correct URL: https://localhost:11501 — note the S in https. Using http:// (without the S) will not work because Khajane 2 requires an encrypted connection.

How to Access Khajane 2

1. Ensure the Khajane 2 application is installed and running (check your system tray/taskbar for its icon)
2. Open Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox (these are the recommended browsers)
3. Type https://localhost:11501 in the address bar and press Enter
4. You'll see a certificate security warning — this is normal (see below)
5. Click Advanced → Proceed to localhost (unsafe)
6. Login with your treasury credentials (user ID and password)

The Certificate Warning Is Normal

Every time you open Khajane 2, your browser shows a warning like "Your connection is not private" or "This site's security certificate is not trusted." This looks alarming but is expected behavior. Here's why:

Khajane 2 uses HTTPS for encryption (good — it's handling financial data), but the SSL certificate is self-signed rather than issued by a public Certificate Authority. Since the application runs on your own computer (localhost), a public certificate isn't possible. The encryption still works — your browser just can't verify who issued the certificate.

In Chrome: Click "Advanced" → "Proceed to localhost (unsafe)"

In Firefox: Click "Advanced" → "Accept the Risk and Continue"

In Edge: Click "Advanced" → "Continue to localhost (unsafe)"

What You Can Do in Khajane 2

Khajane 2 handles the financial operations of the Karnataka state government:

e-Challan Generation — Create and process challans for tax payments, fee collection, and other government revenue. Each challan gets a unique reference number for tracking.

Bill Processing — Submit, verify, and approve bills for government expenditure. Bills follow an approval workflow before treasury release.

Salary and Pension — Process monthly salary disbursements for state government employees and pension payments for retirees.

Treasury Vouchers — Generate and manage payment vouchers, receipt vouchers, and transfer entries.

Financial Reports — Generate statements, budget reports, and expenditure summaries for audit and accounting purposes.

Common Problems and Solutions

Problem	Solution
"Connection refused" or page won't load	Khajane 2 application isn't running. Start it from the desktop shortcut or Start menu. Wait 30 seconds for it to initialize.
Certificate/security warning	Normal — click Advanced → Proceed (see instructions above)
CAPTCHA not loading or broken	Clear browser cache (Ctrl+Shift+Delete), disable ad blockers and browser extensions, try a different browser
Login fails with correct credentials	Check internet connection (Khajane 2 validates against the central server). Your account may be locked — contact the treasury help desk.
Page times out during transaction	Don't use the browser back button during submissions. Wait for the process to complete. If it hangs, close the browser tab (not the Khajane app), reopen, and check if the transaction went through before retrying.
Java errors or application crashes	Khajane 2 requires Java. Ensure Java is installed and updated. Restart the Khajane 2 application.
Multiple browser tabs cause issues	Only use one Khajane 2 tab at a time. Multiple tabs can create session conflicts.

Checking if Port 11501 Is Active

:: Windows Command Prompt
netstat -ano | findstr :11501

:: If you see output like:
:: TCP  127.0.0.1:11501  0.0.0.0:0  LISTENING  12345
:: Then Khajane 2 is running (12345 is the process ID)

:: If no output, the application isn't running — start it

Best Practices

• Use Chrome or Firefox only — Internet Explorer and older Edge can cause issues
• Don't use the browser back button during transactions — use the application's own navigation
• Don't refresh the page while a transaction is processing
• Log out properly when done — don't just close the browser
• Save work frequently — sessions can timeout after inactivity
• Disable ad blockers and unnecessary browser extensions
• Keep Java updated on your system
