Government services by department

Official service departments manage applications, registrations, certificates, identity documents, tax processes, transport services, health schemes and other citizen-facing work. Department hubs help users identify the authority connected with a service, such as PAN, Voter ID, driving licence, Income Tax, Ayushman Bharat or a state certificate service. On Avedan, “service” refers to an application or government process that may be completed online, partly online or through an instructed office visit. The available route depends on the responsible department. Read the service instructions and verify documents, fees, eligibility, processing steps and the official portal before applying.

Central services may be available to eligible applicants across India, while state services can depend on residence, local records or state rules. Some services create or update documents, such as identity or certificates. Others provide access to schemes, registrations, tax filings or transport-related permissions. Check which category applies to your need and keep the required information ready before starting the application.

About official government services on Avedan

Government services cover a wide range of applications and citizen processes. A user may need to request a PAN-related service, enrol or update Voter ID details, apply for a driving licence through Parivahan, check an Income Tax process, access a health scheme or obtain a state-issued certificate. Each service is controlled by its responsible department or authority, which decides eligibility, documents, fees, verification and delivery. Department hubs help users begin with the correct authority and understand the broad purpose of a service. Before sharing personal information or making a payment, confirm the service details on the official portal named in the instructions.

Common services by department

Identity and civic services may include PAN-related applications, Voter ID registration or updates and other election services. Transport departments and Parivahan services may cover learner’s licence, driving licence, vehicle-related work or appointment instructions. Income Tax services can involve taxpayer registration, returns, notices or other online processes. Health-related departments and schemes may provide eligibility checks, enrolment or beneficiary services, while state governments may offer income, caste, residence, birth, death and other certificates. The exact process differs by department and applicant. Check whether the service is a new application, correction, renewal, download, status check or grievance process.

Department hubs versus the full services search

A department hub is useful when you know which authority probably handles your requirement. For example, a transport-related need can be explored under Parivahan, while an election-related requirement may belong to the Election Commission. The full services catalogue is better when you are unsure of the department or want to compare different types of citizen services. Search by service name, document, scheme, state or department, then review the instructions for the selected process. Regardless of the starting point, confirm the official portal, applicable fee, required documents, eligibility and deadline or appointment date before proceeding.

State and central service portals

Some services are managed centrally, while others are delivered through state departments, district offices or local authorities. A state certificate service may require local records, residence proof or verification by a designated official. A central service may use a national portal and standard instructions for applicants in different states. The same document name can also have different issuing authorities and uses. Check the department, jurisdiction, accepted documents and delivery method shown in the current instructions. If an office visit, biometric step, appointment or physical verification is required, complete that stage as directed by the responsible authority.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as an official service?
A service here is an ongoing government process a citizen applies for or checks status on — such as a PAN card, Voter ID, driving licence, Ayushman Bharat enrolment, or a state certificate — as opposed to a one-time job or education form. Services are grouped under the department or authority that actually issues or manages them, with a link through to the relevant official portal.
Is Avedan the government website for these services?
No. Avedan is not a government website — it organises information about government services by department and links to the official portal where each service is actually processed, such as the Parivahan site for driving licences or the Income Tax e-filing portal for PAN and tax services. Applications, payments, and status checks happen on those official government systems.
How do I apply for PAN, Voter ID, or a driving licence here?
Open the relevant service listing under its department hub — Income Tax for PAN, Election Commission for Voter ID, or Parivahan for driving licences — where you'll find a short explanation of the service and a link to the official portal to apply, check status, or download documents. Where a facilitated apply option is available for a service, that's noted on the listing itself; otherwise, you apply directly on the official government site.
What is "facilitated apply"?
For select services, where offered, facilitated apply means a partner or agent can assist with completing and submitting the application on your behalf, similar to how the cafe and agent network supports job applications. It's optional and only available where specifically indicated on a service listing — you can otherwise always apply yourself directly on the official portal.
Are fees and documents listed on each service page?
Where available, a service listing gives a general sense of the documents commonly required and whether a government fee typically applies, but exact fees, document lists, and requirements are set by the issuing department and can change. Always confirm current fees and the required document list on the official portal linked from the listing before applying or making any payment.
