'''Tarapur subdivision''' is one of the three administrative subdivisions of [[Munger district]] in the Indian state of [[Bihar]]. Its headquarters is the town of [[Tarapur, Bihar|Tarapur]]. The subdivision comprises predominantly rural areas along with two census towns and forms an administrative tier between the district and the block (community development) level. <ref>{{cite web |title=Subdivision & Blocks |url=https://munger.nic.in/subdivision-blocks/ |publisher=District Administration, Munger |accessdate=29 August 2025}}</ref>

==Geography==
Tarapur subdivision lies in the eastern part of Munger district in the floodplain zone of southern Bihar. The terrain is largely flat alluvial plain formed by the Ganges and its tributaries; soils are generally alluvial with shallow local variations. Parts of the subdivision fall within areas noted by the Central Ground Water Board and district authorities for high groundwater use and periodic flooding during the monsoon season. <ref>{{cite web |title=Munger District — District Profile |url=https://munger.nic.in/about-district-2/ |publisher=District Administration, Munger |accessdate=29 August 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=District Profile: Munger — CGWB |url=https://www.cgwb.gov.in/old_website/District_Profile/Bihar/Munger.pdf |publisher=Central Ground Water Board |accessdate=29 August 2025}}</ref>
