Rajasthan Jan Aadhaar Card — Apply Online, Download & Link Services (2026)

Jan Aadhaar is Rajasthan's unified family and individual identity system. Launched by the Government of Rajasthan, it replaces the earlier Bhamashah Card and serves as the single gateway to all state government schemes — from healthcare and rations to scholarships and pensions.

Every family residing in Rajasthan needs a Jan Aadhaar Card. It assigns a 10-digit Family ID and a unique 11-digit Member ID to each individual in the family.

Key fact: Without Jan Aadhaar, you cannot access Chiranjeevi Health Insurance, subsidised ration (PDS), state scholarships, pension schemes, or most Rajasthan government benefits.


Why You Need Jan Aadhaar

Jan Aadhaar is mandatory for accessing virtually every Rajasthan government service:

  • Chiranjeevi Health Insurance — ₹25 lakh cashless treatment (Jan Aadhaar required for registration)
  • Public Distribution System (PDS) — subsidised ration through fair price shops
  • Scholarships — state scholarships for school and college students
  • Pension schemes — old age, widow, and disability pensions
  • Palanhar Yojana — support for orphan children
  • Housing schemes — Indira Awas and other housing benefits
  • DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer) — all cash transfers routed through Jan Aadhaar-linked bank accounts

Jan Aadhaar vs Aadhaar (UIDAI)

  • Aadhaar is a national individual identity (12-digit, issued by UIDAI)
  • Jan Aadhaar is a Rajasthan state family identity (10-digit family + 11-digit member)
  • Both are different — Jan Aadhaar links with your Aadhaar but does not replace it
