The form is now closed.

How the safai karmchari lottery works
There is no written exam. As reported, selection follows these steps:
- Scrutiny: applications are checked for eligibility, especially domicile and the experience certificate.
- Online lottery in three priority tiers: first candidates of the same urban body, then candidates from the same district, then candidates from the rest of the state.
- Document verification (DV): those picked in the lottery bring original documents for checking.
- Appointment on a contractual basis at the honorarium stated in the notice.
Because the lottery is random within each tier, nobody can promise you a post. Anyone who asks for money to "fix" the lottery is cheating you. Read our guide to fake job alerts to learn the common tricks.
Why the 2024 drive for 23,820 posts was cancelled
The earlier drive was notified on 29 September 2024 for 23,820 posts. According to news reports (ETV Bharat, 4 December 2024), the lottery set for 7 December 2024 was cancelled by an order dated 4 December 2024, after complaints of fake experience certificates. The same report said this was the third time the drive had been stopped.
In April 2026, according to news reports (Laws and Legals, 28 April 2026), the Rajasthan High Court issued notice to the state over the long delay in filling 23,820 posts across 309 bodies. We have not seen any later court order about the new 2026 drive. If a court order affects the lottery, it will be reported on the official portal and in the news, so keep checking.
What is still unknown (as of 15 October 2026)
- Lottery date: not announced.

- Keep your domicile certificate, experience certificate, ID and category certificate (if any) ready in original and copies.
