Battlegrounds Mobile India's recent "Server Authentication Error" prior to a BGMI maintenance has prevented gamers from logging into their favorite battle royale title on August 30, 2023. The game returned to the country after a prolonged 10-month absence.

However, Krafton brought many updates and incredible collaboration events with brands and anime to compensate for the absence, but this recent login error has bothered the whole community.

Krafton’s BR title arrived in the country after a 10-month-long ban in the final week of May 2023. The Indian government said it will keep monitoring the game closely during a three-month probationary period and then announce its final decision regarding the title.

The "Server Authentication Error" before a BGMI maintenance prevented gamers from logging in on the final day of this probationary period.
