About Sakala

Sakala is Karnataka's guarantee of services law, the Karnataka Guarantee of Services to Citizens Act, 2011, run by the Sakala Mission of the Department of Citizen Services. Each notified service carries a time limit, and every application gets a Sakala number on its acknowledgement.

The Sakala portal is where you track that number and file an appeal when a service is late or rejected. You apply through Seva Sindhu or the department's portal.
