What is Electrical Contractor License Registration in Bihar | Class A & B?

Bihar offers a structured licensing system categorized into Class 'A' (valid for all voltage levels including High Tension/HT) and Class 'B' (restricted to Low and Medium voltage installations). Obtaining a Class 'A' license in Bihar requires a firm to prove its technical competency through a team of certified Electrical Supervisors and Wiremen who must hold valid competency certificates recognized by the Bihar state government. A crucial part of the application is the ownership of mandatory testing instruments, such as the Insulation Tester (Megger) and Earth Tester, which must be calibrated and accompanied by valid test reports. The registration process in Bihar has transitioned toward digital integration through portals like Service Plus Bihar, yet it remains technically demanding. Documentation such as the Bank Solvency Certificate and mandatory affidavits regarding staff and equipment must be drafted in specific formats required by the Electrical Inspector. For out-of-state firms looking to operate in Bihar, the endorsement or reciprocity registration of their technical staff's permits is a vital prerequisite. Shree Meera Corp acts as your professional liaison in Patna and throughout the state. We manage the entire lifecycle of your application—from the initial filing and payment of treasury challans to coordinating with the Electrical Inspector for the physical verification of tools.
