The Bihar Reservation of Vacancies in Posts and Services (for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and other Backward Classes) (Amendment) Act, 2023

General20233 sections

This Act amends the existing reservation law in Bihar to adjust quotas for direct recruitment in government jobs. It allocates 65% of vacancies to reserved categories—20% to Scheduled Castes, 2% to Scheduled Tribes, 25% to Extremely Backward Classes, and 18% to Backward Classes—while leaving the remaining 35% for open merit candidates. The changes also remove certain definitions and provisions, and clarify that decisions already made under the repealed rules stay valid. The law applies to all of Bihar and takes effect immediately.
