Rajasthan Tarbandi Yojana 2026 - Online Application, Subsidy and Status Check

Rajasthan Tarbandi Yojana is a subsidy scheme from the Agriculture Department of Rajasthan that helps farmers build barbed wire fencing around their fields to protect crops from nilgai and stray animals. Under this scheme, eligible farmers get up to 50 percent of the fencing cost, with a maximum support of ₹40,000, for fencing up to 400 running meters. Rajasthan government provides this support through the Raj Kisan Sathi portal.

Applications for this financial year are open online, and farmers can also take help from a nearby e-Mitra center. In the state budget for the current financial year, higher support was announced for small and marginal farmers, with 60 percent of the fencing cost or up to ₹48,000, and up to 70 percent for fencing done by a group of farmers. The official portal still shows the basic 50 percent or ₹40,000 rate, so farmers should check the current rate while applying.

Subsidy and Benefits

The basic subsidy under the scheme is 50 percent of the fencing cost or a maximum of ₹40,000 per farmer, whichever is less, for fencing up to 400 running meters. As per the state budget announcements for the current financial year, small and marginal farmers can get 60 percent support, up to ₹48,000, while a group of farmers doing fencing together can get up to 70 percent. Around ₹288 crore has been set aside in the budget with a target of helping about 50,000 farmers.

Eligibility Criteria

Farmers need to meet the following conditions to apply for the fencing subsidy under Rajasthan Tarbandi Yojana:

• Applicant must be a permanent resident of Rajasthan and own farmland in his or her name.
• As per the official scheme page, fencing subsidy is given on community basis, so a group of at least 3 farmers with a minimum of 5 hectares of combined agricultural land is required.
• Small and marginal farmers doing fencing individually can also apply. State budget reports mention a minimum land limit of 1.5 hectares for individual applications (some reports mention 0.5 hectares), so farmers should confirm the current rule on the portal.
• The jamabandi record should be recent, not older than six months, and the farmer should not have taken fencing subsidy under any other scheme earlier.
• Bank account must be linked with Jan Aadhaar to receive the subsidy payment.

Documents Required

Keep these documents ready before starting the application:

• Aadhaar card and Jan Aadhaar card of the applicant.
• Jamabandi copy of the field, not older than six months.
• Field map and land records.
• Bank passbook of the account linked with Jan Aadhaar.
• Passport size photo and mobile number.

Application Status Check

After submitting the application, farmers can check the status online. Go to rajkisan.rajasthan.gov.in, open the Application Status option on the homepage, select the Tarbandi scheme and enter the application number or Jan Aadhaar number. The screen will show whether the application is pending, approved or rejected. Farmers can also check the status through a nearby e-Mitra center.

Subsidy Payment and Important Points

Geo-tagging of the field is required before and after the fencing work. After the physical verification is done by the agriculture department, the subsidy is transferred directly to the bank account linked with Jan Aadhaar. Selection is done on first come first serve basis, so applying early improves the chance of getting the subsidy. The offline form PDF can also be collected from the nearest agriculture office or e-Mitra center.
