Mukhyamantri Civil Seva Protsahan Yojana (Bihar)

A one-time ₹50,000 for clearing the BPSC preliminary and ₹1 lakh for the UPSC preliminary, for SC, ST, EBC and women candidates from Bihar — each group applying through its own department.

What this scheme offers

Bihar rewards candidates who clear the preliminary stage of a civil-services examination with a one-time cash incentive: ₹50,000 for the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) preliminary and ₹1 lakh for the UPSC Civil Services preliminary. It is really three schemes with the same amounts, each run by a different department — one for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe candidates, one for Extremely Backward Class candidates (some listings also include other backward classes), and one for women candidates of every category. General-category men are not covered. The point is to help candidates fund their Mains preparation, so the money is paid after the prelims result by direct transfer.

Who is eligible

  • Domicile of Bihar.
  • Cleared the preliminary examination of the UPSC Civil Services (₹1 lakh) or the BPSC Combined Competitive Examination (₹50,000).
  • Belongs to a covered group: SC/ST (SC/ST Welfare Department), EBC (BC & EBC Welfare Department) or a woman of any category (Women & Child Development Department).
  • General-category male candidates are not eligible under these schemes.
  • Apply within the window announced by the department after the prelims result.

Documents required

  • Admit card and proof of clearing the preliminary examination
  • Caste certificate (for SC, ST and EBC applicants)
  • Domicile or residence certificate
  • Aadhaar card
  • Bank passbook or cancelled cheque
  • Recent photograph and signature, uploaded to the portal

How to apply

  2. Register on that department's online portal and fill in the application with your examination details.
  3. Upload the admit card, result proof, caste certificate (if applicable), domicile proof, Aadhaar and bank details.
