📌 About the Seniority List: The Provisional Seniority List of Police Inspectors and Company Commanders is a periodic exercise by Rajasthan Police Headquarters to document the service seniority of all officers at the Inspector/Company Commander level across the state's various police wings. The seniority position directly impacts promotion eligibility to the rank of Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) / Deputy Commandant. Governed by the Rajasthan Police Service Rules 1954, the list is prepared on the first day of April each year and is first issued as provisional — allowing officers to raise valid objections before the final list is notified.

⚖️ Common Seniority List — Rule 15 Explained: As per Rule 15 of the Rajasthan Police Service Rules 1954, a combined (common) seniority list of Police Inspectors and Company Commanders is prepared by merging two groups — (1) Inspectors of Police from the civil/district police, and (2) Company Commanders of the Rajasthan Armed Constabulary (RAC) / Special Armed Force including Mewar Bhil Corps (MBC) and Reserve Inspectors — without disturbing the existing inter-se seniority within each group. The combined list is prepared on the basis of total length of service as Inspector/Company Commander. When two officers have the same length of service in the rank, the one with greater total service in the police force is senior. If that is also equal, the older officer (by age) gets priority.

Frequently Asked Questions — Rajasthan Police Inspector Seniority List 2026
When was the Rajasthan Police Inspector Provisional Seniority List 2026 released?
The Provisional Seniority List 2026 for Police Inspectors and Company Commanders was officially published on 8 April 2026 at police.rajasthan.gov.in. The official circular from the DGP Rajasthan Police, Jaipur (Reference No. S.12(9)Police/E/Misc./2026/665-800) that authorised and directed dissemination of the list was dated 2 April 2026. The list is prepared as on 1 April 2026 — meaning service records up to 1 April 2026 are the basis for computing seniority.
What is the last date to submit objections to the Rajasthan Police Inspector Seniority List 2026?
The deadline for submitting objections / representations against the Provisional Seniority List 2026 is 20 April 2026. Representations must physically reach the Rajasthan Police Headquarters (Jaipur or Jodhpur) on or before this date. Officers must route their representations through the proper channel — SP/Commandant → Deputy IG → Police Headquarters. Objections received after 20 April 2026 will not be entertained. After this date, the Final Seniority List will be prepared incorporating valid corrections from accepted objections.
Which police wings are covered in the 2026 Inspector Seniority List?
The Provisional Seniority List 2026 covers Police Inspectors and Company Commanders from five wings of Rajasthan Police:
- CP: Civil Police — Inspectors posted in district and city police
- AP: Armed Police — Inspectors in armed police units
- IB: Intelligence Bureau — Inspectors in the intelligence branch
- RAC: Rajasthan Armed Constabulary — Company Commanders
- MBC: Mewar Bhil Corps — Company Commanders of this tribal specialised armed force
How is seniority determined in the Rajasthan Police Inspector Seniority List?
Seniority in the combined Inspector/Company Commander list is determined in the following order:
- Primary criterion: Length of service as Inspector / Company Commander — the officer who has spent more time in the rank is senior
- First tiebreaker (equal rank service): Total length of service in the Rajasthan Police Force (or Armed Forces of a covenanting State of Rajasthan) — longer overall service means higher seniority
- Second tiebreaker (equal total service): Age — the older officer (earlier date of birth) is given higher seniority over the younger officer
Why is the Inspector Seniority List important and how does it affect promotions?
The Seniority List is critical because it is the direct basis for promotions from Police Inspector to Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) / Deputy Commandant in Rajasthan Police. As per RPS Rules 1954, promotion from Inspector to DSP is made on seniority-cum-merit basis — officers are considered strictly in the order of their seniority in the combined list. An officer placed higher in the seniority list gets promotion consideration earlier than those below them. Errors in seniority position — such as a wrong date of promotion, missing entry, or wrong category — can delay or deny promotions, making it essential for officers to verify and correct the provisional list before the deadline.
How do I submit an objection if my seniority is incorrectly listed?
To submit an objection against the Provisional Seniority List 2026:
- Prepare a formal written representation clearly stating the error (wrong date, wrong category, missing entry, position dispute, etc.)
- Attach supporting service documents — certified copies of promotion orders, appointment orders, category certificates, service book entries, etc.
- Submit the representation through the proper official channel: your SP / Commandant → Deputy Inspector General → Police Headquarters, Jaipur/Jodhpur
- Ensure the representation reaches Police Headquarters on or before 20 April 2026 — transit time must be factored in
- Retain an acknowledgement copy of your representation from the intermediate office for records
What happens after the objection window closes on 20 April 2026?
After the objection window closes on 20 April 2026, the Rajasthan Police Headquarters will review all valid representations received. Valid objections backed by documentary evidence will be investigated and corrections made in the seniority list. After this review process, the Final Seniority List will be issued — this final list supersedes the provisional list and is the authoritative document for all service-related purposes including promotion, posting priority, and other service entitlements. The timeline for the final list depends on the volume and complexity of objections received. Officers whose objections are accepted will see their seniority corrected; those whose objections are not accepted remain at their provisional position.
