What this scheme offers
Registration with Rajasthan's BOCW Welfare Board is the gateway to one of the more comprehensive construction-worker welfare packages among Indian states — reportedly 15 or more distinct benefits covering a daughter's marriage (₹55,000), children's scholarships (₹8,000-₹35,000 depending on level), death and accident insurance (up to ₹5 lakh), a pension, and more, funded through a cess collected on construction projects statewide. As with similar boards elsewhere, the specific amounts are best confirmed directly with the Board, since welfare-board benefit schedules are revised periodically and aggregator figures can lag.
Who is eligible
- Engaged in building or construction work in Rajasthan (mason, labourer, carpenter, electrician, and similar trades).
- Age typically 18 to 60 years.
- Worked a minimum number of days in construction in the preceding period, as prescribed by the Board.
- Registered with the Board (registration must be renewed periodically).
Documents required
- Aadhaar card
- Jan Aadhaar card
- Proof of construction work (contractor/employer certificate or self-declaration per Board rules)
- Age proof
- Bank account details (Aadhaar-seeded)
- Passport-size photograph
How to apply
- Register as a construction worker through the labour department's portal or at a local labour office / e-mitra kiosk.
- Submit proof of construction work along with identity documents.
- Keep your registration renewed as required — a lapsed registration can block benefit claims.
- Apply separately for each specific benefit (marriage grant, scholarship, insurance claim, pension) when the relevant situation arises.
- Confirm current benefit amounts with the Board before relying on any figure, as these are revised periodically.
