Raju Chacha tells the story of Shekhar (Devgan), a conman who falls in love with Anna (Kajol), the governess of three children belonging to the wealthy widower Siddhant Rai (Kapoor). When Siddhant dies, his children are placed under the custody of their scheming relatives. Shekhar returns into their lives, posing as Rajit Rai, the long lost brother of Siddhant in order to save the three children and their fortune.
Siddhant Rai is a wealthy architect, living a comfortable lifestyle with his three children Rohit, Rahul and Rani. Also living with them is their butler Banky Bihari Chaturdevi also known as B.B.C.. Because they have no mother, Siddhant has arranged for many governesses or teachers to take care of them, but the children always drive any of these governesses and teachers away. Siddhant soon decides to send his children to boarding school but changes his mind when B.B.C. reminds him that when Siddhant threw his younger brother out of the house, he never came back again. Siddhant, however, arranges for another governess.
Meanwhile, a con man named Shekhar and his friend Jadu have just robbed a bank and are on the run from police. Shekhar comes across the beautiful Anna who is to be the governess of the Rai children. Shekhar tries to woo Anna with no success. Shekhar and Jadu follow Anna to the Rai household; Shekhar now believes he has met a rich girl and believes he has hit the jackpot. Although the children initially try and drive Anna away, they come to accept her as an older sister. Shekhar continues to woo Anna and she eventually returns his feelings. With Siddhant’s permission, the two get married. On the wedding day, Siddhant learns that Shekhar is a criminal: he stole the wedding rings and only married Anna to gain Siddhant’s wealth. Shekhar is sent to prison and Anna decides to leave the house.
Siddhant is soon killed in a car accident. The children are placed under the care of their cruel maternal uncles, who only have interest in Siddhant’s fortune. The children are in a terrible situation— the court decides that they need to be separated. Just as the magistrate intends to sign their adoption papers, a young man comes in and claims that he is Rajit Rai, Siddhant’s younger brother— the man is none other than Shekhar. The magistrate believes that the man is truly Siddhant’s brother, so refuses to sign the adoption papers, however, he sets a date for a hearing in which the appropriate guardian shall be granted custody of the Rai children. The children are at first unhappy to have Shekhar back in their lives— however, B.B.C. and Jadu explain that Shekhar is the only one who can help the children. The children warm up to their new ‘Raj Chacha.’ Anna soon returns to the house and is angry to see Shekhar again as she believes he is attempting to rob the children.
