Start here

Track your certificate application on ServicePlus using the acknowledgement number, and if it is not decided within the service standard, file a first appeal.

Who is responsible

  • Circle Officer (Anchal Adhikari)Implements mutation at circle level: hears objections, conducts inquiry and passes the dakhil-kharij order.
  • ServicePlus Bihar (RTPS online)State portal to apply for citizen services, track applications and download acknowledgements.

Every application filed on ServicePlus has an acknowledgement number and a service standard. When the standard passes without a decision, the correct step is a first appeal on the RTPS appeal portal, quoting the acknowledgement number, and only after that a departmental grievance. Using the appeal route in the correct sequence is what makes the delay actionable.
