'''Bihar Administrative Service''', often abbreviated to as '''BAS''', is the [[Public administration|administrative]] [[Civil Services of India|civil service]] of the [[Government of Bihar]] comprising Group A and Group B posts. It is also the feeder service for [[Indian Administrative Service]] in the state.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url= https://state.bihar.gov.in/gad/CitizenHome.html|title=Introduction of Bihar GAD Department|website=General Administration Department, [[Government of Bihar]]|access-date=30 November 2023}}</ref>

BAS officers hold various posts at sub-divisional, district, divisional and state level including conducting revenue administration and maintaining law and order. The General Administrative Department of the [[Government of Bihar]] is the cadre-controlling authority of the service. Along with the Bihar Police Service (BPS) and the Bihar Forest Service (BFS), the BAS is one of the three feeder services to its respective [[All India Services]].

== Recruitment ==

Entire recruitment to the service is made on the basis of an annual competitive examination conducted by [[Bihar Public Service Commission]] called BAS officers. There is no provision for entry into BAS through promotion from Circle Officers of Bihar Revenue Service (BRS) unlike in most states where [[Tehsildar]] and equivalent revenue officers are promoted into their state administrative service. BAS officers are appointed by the [[List of governors of Bihar|Governor of Bihar]].<ref name=":2">{{Cite web|url= http://www.basabihar.org/|title=BAS Association|date=13 October 2023|website=BASA Bihar|publisher=BAS Association|access-date=30 November 2023}}</ref>
