Rajasthan's income certificate - called Aay Praman Patra (आय प्रमाण पत्र) - has one critical difference from most other states that applicants must know: it is valid for only 6 months from the date of issue, not 1 financial year. This means if you need it for an annual scholarship or a recurring government scheme benefit, you will need to renew it twice a year. The certificate is issued by the Tehsildar and costs Rs. 40. Rajasthan uses its own statewide eMitra platform at emitra.rajasthan.gov.in - launched in 2002 and now covering 600+ government services across all 33 districts. To apply online yourself, you need both an SSO ID (Rajasthan Single Sign-On) and a Jan Aadhaar enrollment. If you don't have either, the easiest path is your nearest eMitra kiosk.

6-Month Validity - What It Means for You

Most states issue income certificates valid for 1 financial year (12 months). Rajasthan issues them for only 6 months. Practical implications:

  • If you need the certificate for a scholarship that requires annual renewal, you will need to apply twice a year in Rajasthan
  • For EWS school admissions in April, apply in March-April so the certificate covers the admission period
  • For central government job EWS applications with specific submission deadlines, time your application so the 6-month validity covers the form submission date
  • For RTE (Right to Education) admissions to private schools in Rajasthan, income certificate validity is checked at the time of document verification - ensure yours has not expired
  • Always check the certificate issue date printed on the downloaded PDF before using it

What is Jan Aadhaar and Why Is It Needed

Jan Aadhaar is Rajasthan's own family ID system launched by the state government. It is a unique 10-digit family identifier that links all family members to a single number. To apply for a Family Income Certificate through eMitra in Rajasthan, Jan Aadhaar enrollment is required because the certificate is issued for the entire family's income, and Jan Aadhaar records the family composition officially. If you do not have a Jan Aadhaar, enrol first at any eMitra kiosk or through the Jan Aadhaar portal. Your SSO ID can also be linked to Jan Aadhaar for self-service applications.

Who Can Apply

  • Must be a permanent resident of Rajasthan
  • Must have a valid SSO ID and Jan Aadhaar enrollment for self-apply online
  • All categories of residents - students, daily wage workers, farmers, self-employed persons, salaried individuals
  • Those applying for EWS reservation must ensure family income is below Rs. 8 lakh per annum from all sources
  • If Jan Aadhaar is not available, apply through nearest eMitra kiosk with documents

  • Aadhaar card of all family members
  • Income proof - whichever applies:

    • Rent agreement and bank statements (for rental income)
