Bar Council Of Rajasthan

What Bar Council Of Rajasthan does

The Bar Council of Rajasthan (BCR), headquartered at the Rajasthan High Court campus in Jhalamand, Jodhpur, is a statutory autonomous body established in 1961 under Section 3 of the Advocates Act, 1961. It is the apex regulator of legal professionals in the Indian state of Rajasthan, with exclusive authority to enroll advocates on its Roll, grant permission to practice law, adjudicate cases of professional and other misconduct, and safeguard the interests of the advocacy community. The Council comprises a maximum of 25 elected members chosen by preferential voting from among all enrolled advocates, plus the Advocate General of Rajasthan as an ex-officio member; the current (10th) Council was constituted in 2004 with 22 elected members and one co-opted member. The Acting Secretary, Shri Vikas Dhaka, leads a small full-time secretariat of approximately 20 staff.

The Council delivers services primarily through an integrated online portal that supports advocate enrollment and status tracking, an advocate self-service dashboard, Certificate of Practice renewal under Bar Council of India rules, RAWF (Rajasthan Advocates Welfare Fund) stamp requisition and reprint, transfer-in applications from other state bar councils, A.I.B.E. (All India Bar Examination) compliance tracking, BCR election management, and applications for identity cards, experience certificates, notary NOCs, voluntary suspension, resumption of practice, name and nominee changes, and duplicate certificates. Physical service is delivered through the Jodhpur headquarters, Advocates Bhawan in Jaipur and Jodhpur, and an extension counter at the High Court Bench in Jaipur. Digitization Phase-I was inaugurated on 11 December 2022, and a new purpose-built headquarters was inaugurated on 2 November 2025 after a multi-decade construction project initiated in 2014. The Council also administers the Rajasthan Advocates Welfare Fund under the Rajasthan Advocates Welfare Fund Act, 1987, providing retirement benefits, death and bodily injury assistance, ex-gratia payments, and ad-hoc COVID-19 financial support.

Revenue is generated entirely from regulated statutory streams: one-time advocate enrollment fees, recurring annual renewal and Certificate of Practice fees, and mandatory RAWF contributions. As a non-profit statutory body, the Council does not have external shareholders, venture backing, or M&A activity; its governance is exercised by elected members under the oversight of the Bar Council of India, with the Rajasthan High Court serving as host institution and judicial partner. Partnerships include the Bar Council of India (regulatory oversight and coordination), the Rajasthan High Court (host institution), the All India Bar Examination body (examination coordination), and National Law University, Jodhpur (CLEP delivery).
