About Subdivisions in Gaya District

Gaya District in Bihar is divided into 23 subdivisions (also known as tehsils, mandals, or subdivisions in different parts of India).

Each subdivision in Gaya District is headed by a Tahsildar (also called Subdivision Officer or Revenue Officer), who serves as the primary administrative authority at the sub-district level. The Tahsildar and their team are responsible for maintaining land records and property documentation, collecting land revenue and property taxes, issuing essential government certificates (income, caste, residence, nativity), processing property mutations and transfers, implementing government welfare schemes, conducting local elections and census operations, and serving as first-level magistrate for minor legal matters. The subdivision office (Taluk/Tehsil/Mandal office) is where citizens interact most frequently with the government for day-to-day administrative needs.
