How to register and claim
Registration and claims are handled through the official portal and the Animal Husbandry Department. The steps, documents and deadlines are set each year. When registration for a year opens:
- Check the announcement on the Mangla Pashu Bima portal or with your nearest government veterinary hospital.
- Register with your Jan Aadhaar details and the animals you want to insure, as the portal or the department instructs.
- Keep the registration record and any identification given to your animals safe. You will need them for a claim.
- If an insured animal dies, inform the Animal Husbandry Department promptly and follow the claim procedure on the portal.
Frequently asked questions
Can I register my goats now?
Registrations appear to be continuing: the department reported more than 44 lakh animals registered up to 2 November 2026 and has set 2026-27 targets. The portal does not yet show the 2026-27 terms, so ask your nearest government veterinary hospital how to register.
I have more than 10 goats. Can I insure all of them?
Under the 2025-26 terms, a family could insure up to 10 goats free. For more animals, ask an insurance company or your bank about commercial livestock insurance.
Is this scheme available outside Rajasthan?
No. It is a Rajasthan government scheme. Other states run their own livestock insurance; ask your state Animal Husbandry Department.
