Rajasthan Safai Karamchari Bharti 2026: 24,752 Posts, Lottery Selection & Full Guide
This is one of the biggest recruitment drives Rajasthan has announced this year. The Local Self Government Department (स्वायत्त शासन विभाग), Government of Rajasthan has issued Direct Recruitment Advertisement No. 01/2026 for 24,752 posts of Contractual Safai Karamchari across 183 urban local bodies of the state. The best part for many candidates — no educational qualification is required at all, and there is no written examination. If you are searching for government jobs in Rajasthan with a simple entry route, read this carefully.
Online applications open on 15 August 2026 and close on 28 September 2026 at 11:59 PM. Selection is done through a computerised lottery run by the state’s IT department, category-wise, for each urban body separately. But there is one condition you cannot skip — you must be a native resident of Rajasthan and must hold one year of sanitation work experience in any urban local body of the state. GovtJobsAlert.in has explained every rule below in plain language, so read to the end before applying.
Key Highlights — Rajasthan Safai Karamchari Recruitment 2026
The Directorate of Local Bodies (DLB), Jaipur runs this recruitment to strengthen the Swachh Bharat Mission and sanitation arrangements in Rajasthan’s cities and towns. One thing must be clear from the start: these are purely contract-based posts engaged under the Rajasthan Contractual Hiring to Civil Posts Rules, 2022 — they are not regular civil posts, and the pay is a fixed monthly honorarium rather than a pay matrix level.
- Post Name: Contractual Safai Karamchari (संविदा सफाई कर्मचारी)
- Total Vacancies: 24,752 posts across 183 urban local bodies
- Salary: ₹7,410 per month (fixed monthly honorarium)
- Job Location: Urban local bodies across Rajasthan
- Application Start Date: 15 August 2026
- Last Date to Apply: 28 September 2026 (11:59 PM)
Since there is no minimum education bar here, this drive is worth sharing with anyone in your family or neighbourhood who is currently hunting for 10th pass level government jobs but has been held back by certificates.
Rajasthan Safai Karamchari Vacancy 2026 — City-Wise & Urban Body Wise Posts
The 24,752 posts are split between 174 urban local bodies in the Non-Scheduled Area (24,277 posts) and 9 urban local bodies in the Scheduled Area (475 posts). Below are the urban bodies with the largest number of posts. The complete list of all 183 bodies is inside the official notification PDF.
| Urban Local Body | Vacancies |

| Jodhpur | 890 |

The category-wise (श्रेणीवार) classification is not printed inside this notification. The department has published the body-wise and category-wise vacancy detail separately on its official portal, and candidates are told to check that classification before applying, because reservation is admissible as per rules. Reservation for women, ex-servicemen, outstanding sportspersons and Divyangjan is horizontal, meaning it is adjusted inside your own vertical category.
Rajasthan Safai Karamchari 2026 Eligibility Criteria — Who Can Apply?
Educational Qualification
This is the shortest eligibility list you will read all year.
- No educational qualification is prescribed for the post of Contractual Safai Karamchari
- The applicant must be a native resident (मूल निवासी) of Rajasthan
- For the 475 posts in the 9 Scheduled Area bodies, only local residents of Rajasthan’s Scheduled Area may apply — and you must clearly tick the Scheduled Area column in the online form. If you leave that column blank, your application will not be considered for Scheduled Area posts
Experience — The Most Important Condition
The experience rule is where most applications will be decided, so read it twice.
- You need one year of sanitation work experience in any urban local body of Rajasthan
- The one year can be continuous, or added up from separate periods
- Your experience certificate must be in the prescribed format issued by the urban local body — signed by the Chief Municipal Officer or an authorised officer if you were employed directly, or by the contractor or authorised agency and then countersigned by the competent municipal officer if you worked through a contractor
- Certificate date rule: the certificate is valid only if it is issued after 1 August 2026 and before the last date of application. A certificate issued before 1 August 2026 will not be accepted
- The certificate format is available on the department’s online portal
A serious warning is printed in the notification: if an experience certificate is found to be fake, strict legal action is taken against the applicant, the issuing institution and the issuing officer.

Two rules govern how these add up. The relaxations listed above are non-cumulative — you may claim the benefit of only one provision, never two joined together. The one exception is the 5-year relaxation for benchmark-disabled candidates, which the notification states is given over and above the relaxation due for your category, under the Rajasthan Divyangjan Adhikar Niyam, 2018. Separately, since the retirement age in Rajasthan government service is 60 years, your age cannot exceed 60 years on the date of appointment.
Note carefully that 1 January 2027 is only the age-reckoning date — it is not the application deadline. Under the rules, age is counted from the first day of January following the last date of application.
What is the Salary for Rajasthan Safai Karamchari Recruitment 2026?
The notification states the remuneration in a single clear line, so there is no guesswork here.
- Monthly remuneration: ₹7,410 per month
- Basis: as fixed by the Labour Department notification dated 13 December 2024
- Nature of engagement: purely contractual under the Rajasthan Contractual Hiring to Civil Posts Rules, 2022
Because the engagement is contractual, the notification does not mention any pay matrix level, grade pay, basic pay figure or allowances such as DA, HRA or TA. The ₹7,410 per month honorarium is the only pay figure printed in the entire 23-page document.
Be realistic about what you are applying for. This is a contract post with a fixed honorarium, and the competent authority has reserved the right to increase, decrease, cancel or withdraw these posts and to amend the terms and conditions at any time. That said, for thousands of families already doing sanitation work informally, a formal engagement with the urban local body is a meaningful step forward.
What is the Lottery Selection Process for Rajasthan Safai Karamchari 2026?
There is no written examination, no interview and no skill or physical test in this recruitment. Selection is made purely by a computerised lottery.
Stage 1: Screening of Applications
Every online application is first checked for age, Rajasthan native-resident status, the one-year urban body sanitation experience and category claims.
Stage 2: Lottery — Priority Tier 1
The lottery is run through online software developed by the Department of Information Technology and Communication, Government of Rajasthan, and is conducted category-wise for each urban local body. In the first round, only candidates holding one year of experience in that same urban local body are included in the lottery.
Stage 3: Lottery — Priority Tier 2
If posts remain vacant after the first round, applicants holding one year of sanitation experience in another urban local body of the same district are then included for the remaining posts.
Stage 4: Lottery — Priority Tier 3
If posts are still left, applicants holding one year of sanitation experience in any urban local body of the state are included for the balance posts.
Candidates in whose favour the Rajasthan High Court has passed an order in earlier Safai Karamchari recruitments directing priority or regularisation will be given priority in the urban body where they apply. Information about the lottery process is announced separately on the department portal and the SSO portal, so keep checking our results and merit list page too.
How to Apply Online for Rajasthan Safai Karamchari Recruitment 2026 — Step-by-Step
Applications are accepted online only — offline forms are not accepted in any circumstance. Keep your Aadhaar or Jan Aadhaar, native-resident certificate, category certificate and the one-year experience certificate ready before you begin.
- Read the full advertisement carefully first, then log in to the department’s online portal (link given in Essential Links below) or to the Rajasthan SSO portal.
- Select the Recruitment Portal available under Citizen Apps (G2C), then click “Apply Now”.
- If your One Time Registration (OTR) fee is not yet paid, open the OTR tab, enter your category, disability status and home state details, and pay the fee through an e-Mitra kiosk, Jan Suvidha Kendra or online.
- Come back and apply through SSO — the details entered at OTR stage will appear in the form and cannot be changed afterwards.
- Capture a live photo in the application form and fill the “visible mark” field, as both are mandatory.
- Choose the one urban local body you want to apply to, enter your own mobile number and email, and attach your experience certificate details.
- Submit the form before the deadline and keep a printout safely.
The single biggest mistake to avoid: you may apply to only one urban local body out of the 183 advertised. If you apply to more than one, all your applications will be cancelled. Choose your body carefully, keeping the lottery priority tiers in mind.
Rajasthan Safai Karamchari Recruitment 2026 Important Dates — What is the Last Date?
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Notification Date | 27 July 2026 |
| Application Start Date | 15 August 2026 |
| Last Date to Apply | 28 September 2026 (11:59 PM) |

| Age Reckoned As On | 1 January 2027 |

All your certificates must be issued before the last date of the online application. A certificate dated after the last date will not give you the benefit of category or experience.
What is the Application Fee for Rajasthan Safai Karamchari Recruitment 2026?
Rajasthan charges a One Time Registration (OTR) fee instead of a separate application fee for each recruitment.
| Category | Fee |
|---|---|
| General / Unreserved | ₹600 |
| Reserved Category (SC, ST, OBC, MBC & EWS) | ₹400 |
| Persons with Disabilities (Divyangjan) | ₹400 |
The fee is paid online after logging in with your SSO ID and opening the One Time Registration option, through a designated e-Mitra kiosk or Jan Suvidha Kendra. Make sure the OTR fee is paid before the last date of application, otherwise your form cannot be submitted. Good news if you have applied for a Rajasthan recruitment before — the notification states that candidates who have already deposited the One Time Registration fee earlier do not have to pay it again. No category gets a full fee waiver in this recruitment, and the notification does not provide any application correction fee facility — OTR profile details cannot be modified once completed.
