Objections must be cleared within 90 days, at e-Mitra or on the Palanhar app, or the application is rejected. Official site: https://sjmsnew.rajasthan.gov.in/palanhaar/

Open the Palanhar application status page on sjmsnew.rajasthan.gov.in and search with your application number or Jan Aadhaar number. Payment details are shown on the same page or the Palanhar scheme app, and at the block social security office. Renew every year as the department asks (the Palanhar app supports face authentication).

No. Applying for a government scheme is free on the official portal, and at Common Service Centres you pay only the notified service fee, if any. Never pay an agent who promises approval.

For orphans: ₹1,500 a month up to age 6 and ₹2,500 a month from 6 to 18. For other categories: ₹750 and ₹1,500 a month. Most cases also get ₹2,000 a year for books, clothes and shoes.

Use the Palanhar application status page on sjmsnew.rajasthan.gov.in with your application number or Jan Aadhaar number, or the Palanhar scheme app, or ask the block social security office.

Usually a missing or unclear document. Clear the objection within 90 days through e-Mitra or the Palanhar app, or the application is rejected automatically.
