🔍 How we verify information We check every process step, fee and timeline against official sources before publishing: state e-District portals, the Bihar RTPS portal (serviceonline.bihar.gov.in), india.gov.in, and DoPT / Ministry of Social Justice notifications. Where we cannot confirm a detail from an official source, we mark it [VERIFY] rather than guess. Rules change — always confirm on the official portal before applying.
