EWS certification considers income and assets and the applicable category rules. An income certificate alone does not establish EWS eligibility.
Prepare the income-and-assets declaration
- Self-attested applicant photograph.
- Prescribed Form-II declaration.
- Accurate family income and property information for the income-and-assets declaration. Verify supporting annexures on the selected form.
- Check the certificate purpose and applicable category lists carefully. Bihar and Central-purpose category treatment must not be assumed identical.

How to do it — step by step
- Open Bihar ServicePlus and choose General Administration Department → EWS income and asset certificate → Revenue Officer (RO) level. Use higher levels only when needed.
- Choose General or Tatkal only as applicable. Complete family income and property declarations carefully. The official form defines the family and checks income as well as agricultural land, flat and residential-plot limits.
- Read the declaration, select the responsible office and attach the evidence requested by the live form. Follow its current file type/size limits.
- Review the preview and complete CAPTCHA or any verification only on the government portal. Submit there and save the acknowledgement and application reference.
For SDO/district-level applications, the portal asks for the relevant earlier application reference and the applicant name. Choose the certificate level required by the receiving institution.

Track application
On Bihar ServicePlus, open Citizen Section / नागरिक अनुभाग → Track Application Status / आवेदन की स्थिति देखें. Select the requested option and enter the application reference and relevant date from your acknowledgement.
What to save or download
Use the certificate download or application-status option on ServicePlus. The portal also describes delivery through SMS link, email, DigiLocker, applicant inbox or the relevant counter, depending on the application.
Pending, rejected, returned or incorrect?
- Open the status page and read the latest remarks before submitting another application.
- Keep the acknowledgement, pending-status record and any rejection order. Contact the designated service office for the exact correction or appeal procedure.
- For a notified RTPS service, check the RTPS appeal route. Do not assume Bihar Lok Shikayat accepts an RTPS dispute.
- If you need records of processing, prepare an RTI to the responsible Bihar authority; do not send it to Central RTI Online.
Common questions
Does StudyDesk submit the application?
No. Prepare with this guide and submit on the official government portal.

What still needs checking on the official portal
Eligibility / who should use this · Official fees · Processing time · Online / offline · Corrections · Appeal / grievance · Helpline
Do not assume a service is free, that every possible document is mandatory, or that one general time limit applies unless the official source says so.
Safety before you submit
- Check the correct service, authority and spelling of your details.
- Upload documents and make payments only on official government portals.
- Save the acknowledgement, application number and receipt. A StudyDesk draft is not a government application.
- Never share government passwords, OTPs, UPI PINs or banking PINs here.
Sources and review notes
Bihar ServicePlus service catalogue ↗Last reviewed: 2026-09-09. No live government transaction was submitted during verification.
Documents and workflow checked against the linked official form. Fees, detailed eligibility, correction and appeal specifics still require verification. RO-level guidance must not be treated as the checklist for SDO or district-level applications.
