Rajasthan Safai Karmchari 2026 Overview
This recruitment fills contractual sanitation-worker (Safai Karmchari) posts body-wise in Rajasthan’s urban local bodies: municipal corporations, councils and boards. The advertisement was aimed at people with one year of sanitation work experience in a Rajasthan urban local body; Corrigendum No. 02/2026 now allows all applicants to apply online without an experience certificate. There is no educational qualification and no written exam: eligible applicants are selected category-wise by a computerised lottery for the posts advertised in each body. A candidate can apply in only one urban local body.
These are contractual posts, not permanent government posts. The advertisement says the posts are fully contract-based and that the competent authority can increase, reduce or cancel the posts, or cancel the advertisement.
Monthly Honorarium
Contractual Safai Karmchari in urban local bodies will get an honorarium of Rs. 7,410 per month, as per the Labour Department notification dated 13 December 2024 (as stated in the advertisement).
Career Growth & Work Profile
A Safai Karmchari does sanitation and cleaning work for the urban local body, such as street and drain cleaning and waste handling, under the body’s sanitation and solid-waste staff. The advertisement says the work description is indicative and can be changed by the competent authority. It does not describe any promotion or regularisation path, so none is stated here.
Historical Cut-Off / Previous-Cycle Context
There is no cut-off because there is no exam. Selection is by lottery among eligible applicants. The advertisement fixes this order of preference: candidates with one year of experience in the same urban local body come first, then those with experience in another body of the same district, then those with experience in any urban local body of the state. Corrigendum No. 02/2026 does not explain how this order applies to applicants without an experience certificate; follow the department’s official notices.
Post-Specific Selection Nuances
- Experience certificate: not required to submit the online application (Corrigendum No. 02/2026, 06.10.2026). Experience-certificate requirements are subject to the latest departmental corrigenda; refer to the official notice board before submitting your application. The advertisement’s format (certificate issued after 01.08.2026, signed or countersigned by the body’s authorised officer) is on lsg.urban.rajasthan.gov.in.
- Only one urban local body: applying in more than one body, or more than once in a body, cancels all your applications.
- Lottery order (as per the advertisement): same-body experience first, then same-district, then anywhere in the state. Any change will come only through an official departmental notice.
- Scheduled-area posts (Mount Abu, Abu Road, Salumbar, Pratapgarh, Chhoti Sadri, Banswara, Kushalgarh, Sagwara, Dungarpur) are only for bona fide residents of Rajasthan’s scheduled area, who must tick the scheduled-area column.
- Category-wise posts for each body are on the department website. Check them before applying.
- Reserved candidates from other states are treated as General.
