RTPS Bihar, which stands for “Right to Public Services,” is a government initiative in Bihar aimed at providing citizens with access to public services skillfully and on time. This program was implemented through the Bihar Lok Seva Adhiniyam in 2011, with the goal of ensuring that citizens receive designated public services within a specified time limit.
Under the RTPS Act, various documents and certificates, such as birth and death certificates, caste certificates, and income certificates, are issued, along with services related to agriculture, education, health, and housing.
Additionally, the RTPS Act establishes a grievance redressal mechanism for citizens to report any issues or delays in obtaining public services.
The Bihar government has launched the RTPS Bihar Portal to provide convenience to the citizens of Bihar. Under the RTPS Bihar Portal, citizens can apply for caste, residential, and income certificates from the comfort of their homes.
In today’s article, we will discuss the facility of making caste certificates, income certificates, and residential certificates through the RTPS Bihar Portal. We will also explain the process of applying online.
This facility is available to all citizens of Bihar, regardless of where they belong in Bihar.
