Step-By-Step Claim Guide
There is a detailed process of claiming your subsidy which is completely digital and does not require any agent intervention.
Purchase an Approved EV From a Registered Dealer
-
The vehicle must be an approved model registered by Rajasthan Transport department and purchased via a government-recognised dealer. Also make sure that the details are clearly mentioned such as the battery capacity (in kWh), as the state purchase incentive is calculated on a per kWh basis.
Claim Central Subsidies at the Showroom
-
If the vehicle is applicable for the central PM E-Drive scheme (such as e-3Ws, noting the e-2W incentive ended on July 31, 2026), as this is done directly through the dealership. The buyer completes Aadhar FACE authentication on-site to generate an e-Voucher, which makes the central subsidy as an upfront invoice discount.
Register the Vehicle at the RTO
-
Register your EV with the local Regional Transport Office (RTO) in Rajasthan. Under the state’s EV policy, battery electric vehicles get full exemption from road tax and green tax. The buyer must confirm the dealer has applied 100% exemptions into the on-road price before finalising the purchase.
Submit the State Subsidy Claim Online (Must be completed within 90 days of purchase )
-
Log in to the official Rajasthan State Transport/EV subsidy portal using Aadhar-linked OTP authentication.
-
Upload clear copies of the Vehicle Invoice (showing the VIN/chassis number), signed Registration Certificate (RC), Battery Capacity Certificate, Aadhar/ID Proof, and bank account details (with the same name on the RC).
Verification and Direct Benefit Transfer (Save the application reference for tracking)
-
The transport department verifies the uploaded documents against the VAHAN database to confirm vehicle eligibility and ensure available policy funding has been applied for the customer. Once approved, the subsidy is sent via Direct Bank Transfer (DBT) to the buyer’s account, typically in 30 to 45 working days.
NOTE: Generally, the failure occurs at the documentation process, as the invoice not mentioning the VIN, a bank account name not matching the Aadhar card, or an unsigned RC can create issues.
Thus with the introduction of these EV subsidies, EVs have become a lucrative mode of transportation as it’s not just about saving money but you are also saving a significant amount of money spent on petrol costs. However, these state defined policies are for limited time and might end quickly. Thus make the most of it and claim your benefits before the March 2026 deadline.
