We publish clear, practical guides for Indian government schemes and public services.

Our mission

Millions of Indians interact with government schemes, certificates, land records, and identity documents every year. The official portals and notifications are authoritative but often dense, procedural, and difficult for first-time applicants to navigate. SarkariBaba exists to bridge that gap.

We research official sources — government notifications, gazette entries, portal help pages, and press information bureau releases — and translate them into step-by-step guides written in plain language. Our guides include eligibility criteria, required documents, fee structures, deadlines, and direct links to the relevant official portals so readers can verify every detail independently.

Who we are

SarkariBaba is published and operated by an independent editorial team. We are not a government entity, and we do not process applications, issue certificates, or make decisions on eligibility, subsidies, or benefits. Our sole function is to publish informational content.

The site is owned and operated by Drish Labs. All editorial decisions, including what topics to cover, how to structure guides, and when to update content, are made independently by the SarkariBaba editorial team.

What we cover

Our content spans the following categories:

• Government Schemes — Central and state-level schemes such as PM Awas Yojana, PM Kisan, Ayushman Bharat, and state-specific subsidy programmes. We cover eligibility, application steps, required documents, and deadlines.
• Certificates & Documents — Birth certificates, income certificates, caste certificates, domicile certificates, and related document workflows. We explain how to apply, track, and download these documents online and offline.
• Land Records — Jamabandi, Dharitree, mutation, Record of Rights (RoR), and land revenue processes explained state by state with portal-specific instructions.
• Identity & Finance — PAN card, Aadhaar, PAN-Aadhaar linking, tax-related services, and financial compliance workflows including deadlines and penalty structures.
• Licenses & Registrations — Driving licences, vehicle registrations, trade licences, and permit-related services with step-by-step portal walkthroughs.
• Explainers — Background articles that explain public policy terms, rules, budget announcements, and citizen-service processes in context.

What we are NOT

To avoid any confusion, we want to be explicit about what SarkariBaba does not do:

• We are not a government website or government portal.
• We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or authorised by the Government of India, any state government, or any ministry or department.
• We do not process applications, issue certificates, or handle any government transactions.
• We do not provide legal advice, tax advice, or financial advice.
• We do not guarantee eligibility, approval, or any specific outcome for any scheme or service.
• We do not charge users fees for accessing government scheme information.

Readers should always verify final details on the relevant official government portal before submitting any application or making financial decisions based on our content.

Our editorial standards

Every guide published on SarkariBaba follows a structured editorial process:

1. Research — We start by reviewing official government notifications, gazette entries, and portal help documentation.
2. Drafting — Content is drafted around practical questions: Who is eligible? What documents are needed? What are the steps? What is the deadline? Where is the official portal?
3. Source attribution — We cite official sources and link to government portals so readers can independently verify information.
4. Date stamping — Every article carries a publish date and, where applicable, an update date so readers can judge recency.
5. Corrections — We accept and act on correction requests. When a guide is updated, the update date is revised and the change is noted.
