New OTR Penalty Rules: Must Read ⚠️
The Rajasthan Government has introduced strict OTR blocking rules that every candidate must understand:
Automatic OTR Block Conditions
If a candidate fills application forms but does not appear in two consecutive Rajasthan government exams, the OTR will be automatically blocked.
Unblock Penalty Structure
- First-time unblock fee: ₹750

Important Advisory: Fill forms only when genuinely prepared. If you’ve submitted an application, appearing for the exam is mandatory to avoid OTR blocking and financial penalties.
