# Rajasthan board tightens driver recruitment over fake experience papers 2026-11-03T02:00:38+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Rajasthan Staff Selection Board has tightened document verification for its 2024 driver recruitment after complaints of forged experience certificates. Shortlisted candidates must now prove which company they worked for, which vehicle they drove, its registration number, and the period of employment. They must also show proof of payment, bank statements if paid by transfer or receipts if paid in cash. The board published the recruitment notification on 11 December 2024 for 2,756 posts. The exam was held on 23 November 2025 and trade test results came out on 17 January 2026. A total of 4,508 candidates have been declared eligible for document verification, which is expected to start in mid-November 2026. The State Motor Garage Department will conduct the checks, after which final results and appointments will follow. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The board’s tightened verification rules shift the burden of proof from the employer’s letter to auditable payments and vehicle records. This closes a loophole that let candidates submit bogus experience certificates. For the 4,508 shortlisted candidates who must clear document scrutiny from mid-November, the real test is whether they can produce bank statements or cash receipts that match the experience they claimed. Any gap between their paperwork and the records of the registered firm or transport department will trigger legal action, as the chairman has warned. The final result and appointment orders rest on this verification stage. ## Coverage - bhaskar.com Led with government action against fraud, naming official steps and a direct quote from the board chairman This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
