⚡ Key Facts at a Glance
Rajasthan Indira Gandhi Smartphone Yojana 2026 — Complete Guide
The Rajasthan Indira Gandhi Smartphone Yojana gives a free 4G smartphone along with a 3-year internet SIM to women heads of Chiranjeevi Swasthya Bima Yojana families and to eligible girl students across the state. The goal is to bring digital access into the hands of women and students so they can reach government services, online learning, and welfare benefits directly from a mobile device. You can read the full scheme breakdown on our Indira Gandhi Smartphone Yojana scheme page.
Around 1.35 crore phones have already been distributed under the programme. Phones are not sold or shipped — they are handed out at district-level distribution camps after eKYC verification, with a pre-loaded Jio, Airtel, or BSNL SIM carrying 3 years of internet. It sits alongside other Rajasthan welfare measures; for example, you can compare it with the Rajasthan Yuva Sambal Yojana guide and the wider range of central government schemes.
Concrete example: Suppose Sunita is the registered woman head of a Chiranjeevi family in Jodhpur. She visits igsy.rajasthan.gov.in, enters her Jan Aadhaar number under Beneficiary Status, and confirms her name is on the list. When a distribution camp is announced in her district, she carries her Jan Aadhaar and Aadhaar card to the camp, completes eKYC on the spot, and receives a free 4G smartphone with a pre-loaded 3-year SIM — no payment and no agent required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I have not received my smartphone yet — what should I do?
First check your Beneficiary Status at igsy.rajasthan.gov.in using your Jan Aadhaar to confirm your name is on the list. Distribution is camp-based, so even eligible beneficiaries receive their phone only when a camp is held in their district. If your name shows as eligible but no camp has reached you, raise a grievance on the official portal or at pgportal.gov.in.
Q: How do I check my application status?
Go to igsy.rajasthan.gov.in, open the Beneficiary Status section, and enter your Jan Aadhaar number. The portal will show whether you are on the eligible list.
Q: My name is not on the list — what can I do?
This usually means your family is not recorded under an eligible category, or your Jan Aadhaar details are incomplete. Check that your Chiranjeevi enrolment or student/widow status is correctly reflected, update your Jan Aadhaar if needed, and confirm the eligibility criteria on the official portal.
Q: The phone or SIM details seem wrong — who do I contact?
The scheme provides a 4G smartphone with a pre-loaded 3-year SIM from Jio, Airtel, or BSNL. If something handed out at the camp does not match this, raise the issue with the camp officials immediately, and if it is not resolved, file a grievance through the official portal or pgportal.gov.in.
Q: How important are Jan Aadhaar and eKYC?
Jan Aadhaar is used to identify your family and confirm eligibility, while Aadhaar is used for eKYC at the camp. Both must be valid and the names must match. If your details are outdated, update your Jan Aadhaar before the camp so eKYC does not fail.
Q: I am a new beneficiary — where do I start?
Start by checking your Beneficiary Status at igsy.rajasthan.gov.in with your Jan Aadhaar. If you are eligible, wait for the distribution camp announced in your district and carry your Jan Aadhaar and Aadhaar card to complete eKYC and collect your phone.
Q: Does this scheme work the same way in other states?
No. The Indira Gandhi Smartphone Yojana is specific to Rajasthan. Other states run their own digital or device schemes with different eligibility and benefits — compare options on our blog or the central schemes section.
Q: How do I file a complaint if my issue is not resolved?
Use the grievance feature on the official portal first. If that does not help, lodge a complaint on the central public grievance portal at pgportal.gov.in with your Jan Aadhaar and beneficiary details.
