Who Can Apply?
Applicants must satisfy all the conditions prescribed in Advertisement No. 01/2026.
Rajasthan Domicile
The applicant must be a native resident of Rajasthan.
Educational Qualification
The notification clearly states that no educational qualification has been prescribed for the contractual Safai Karamchari post.
This means candidates should not assume that Class 10, Class 12 or a degree is mandatory. The key eligibility requirement is relevant sanitation work experience.
Mandatory One-Year Sanitation Experience
Candidates must have at least one year of sanitation/cleaning work experience in a Rajasthan Urban Local Body.
The one-year experience may be continuous or may consist of separate periods that together complete the required one year, subject to the conditions in the notification.
The experience must be supported by the prescribed experience certificate issued by the relevant Urban Local Body.
Experience Certificate Date Rule
This is one of the most important conditions in the recruitment.
The sanitation work experience certificate must be:
- issued by the concerned Urban Local Body;
- in the prescribed departmental format;
- issued after 1 August 2026; and
- issued before the final application date.
An older experience certificate issued before the permitted date will not be accepted merely because the candidate already has the required experience.
The Local Self Government Department has separately instructed all Municipal Corporations, Councils and Municipalities to verify records before issuing these certificates.
Age Limit
Candidates must have completed 21 years of age and must not have completed 40 years of age as on 1 January 2027, unless they are eligible for relaxation.
| Category | Age Rule |
|---|---|
| General Male | 21–40 years |
| Rajasthan SC/ST/OBC/MBC/EWS Male | 5 years relaxation in upper age |
| Rajasthan General Female | 5 years relaxation in upper age |
| Rajasthan SC/ST/OBC/MBC/EWS Female | 10 years relaxation in upper age |
| Widow / Divorced Woman | Special relaxation as provided in the notification |
| PwBD Candidate | Additional relaxation as applicable under Rajasthan rules |
| Ex-Servicemen / Other Special Categories | As per the detailed recruitment rules |
Age relaxations are non-cumulative where the notification specifically restricts combining multiple relaxations.
OTR Fee
The notification refers to the One Time Registration (OTR) fee, not a separate recruitment-specific application fee.
| Category | One Time Registration Fee |
|---|---|
| General / Unreserved | ₹600 |
| Reserved Categories | ₹400 |
| Persons with Disabilities | ₹400 |
Candidates who have already paid the Rajasthan OTR fee earlier do not have to pay it again.
This distinction is important: do not pay another OTR fee merely because you are applying for this recruitment if your One Time Registration is already complete.
Salary and Nature of Employment
Selected candidates will receive a fixed monthly honorarium of ₹7,410 per month according to the Labour Department notification referred to in the recruitment notice.
These posts are fully contractual under the Rajasthan Contractual Hiring to Civil Posts Rules, 2022, as amended.
They should not be described as regular permanent government posts, and the ₹7,410 amount should not be presented as a pay-matrix basic salary.
Selection Process: Computerised Lottery
There is no written examination prescribed in the notification. Eligible applicants are selected through a computerised lottery process using online software developed by the Rajasthan government.
The lottery is conducted category-wise and according to the number of vacancies advertised by each Urban Local Body.
Lottery Priority
The official notification gives priority in the following order:
- First Priority: Candidates having one year of sanitation work experience in the same ULB for which they have applied.
- Second Priority: If vacancies remain, candidates having one year of sanitation work experience in another ULB within the same district may be included.
- Third Priority: If vacancies still remain, candidates with one year of sanitation work experience in any Rajasthan ULB may be included.
This makes the choice of Urban Local Body important. Candidates should not select a ULB casually without understanding how the experience-priority system works.
Can a Candidate Apply to More Than One ULB?
No.
A candidate may submit an application for only one Urban Local Body out of the 183 notified bodies.
If a candidate submits applications for more than one ULB, the notification states that all such applications may be cancelled.
Choose the ULB carefully before final submission.
Health and Character Requirements
Candidates must have suitable mental and physical health to perform sanitation duties.
If required, a selected candidate may have to submit a medical fitness certificate from the competent medical authority.
Applicants must also satisfy the character and general service eligibility conditions stated in the official notification.
