Disability Certification and Documentation Service for Local Body Elections
The Opportunity
1.56 million persons with disabilities in Rajasthan (and across India) are eligible for reserved seats in local body elections, but lack accessible, reliable documentation and certification services. Municipal offices are overwhelmed, and disabled voters don't know how to navigate the disability certificate process — creating a gap between eligibility and actual representation.
Market Size
₹45 Cr addressable market — 1.56M disabled voters in Rajasthan × ₹2,500-3,000 per certification service × election cycles (every 5 years) + recurring updates and renewals across India's 28M registered disabled population
Business Model
Door-to-door disability documentation service: Visit disabled applicants at home, help them gather required medical/govt documents, arrange certified medical exams, file nomination papers with municipal authorities. Charge ₹2,500-3,000 per client per election cycle. Partner with local municipalities for bulk referrals.
Per-client documentation service: ₹2,500-3,000 × 50-100 clients per election = ₹1.25-3 lakh per cycleMunicipal contract work: ₹50,000-1 lakh per municipality for bulk processing during nomination windowsForm-filling and renewal services between elections: ₹500 per renewal/update
