Nashik Kotwal Recruitment 2026 — 156 Posts, Apply Online by 17 Oct

The Collector's Office, Nashik, Government of Maharashtra, through the District Selection Committee (Revenue Branch), has announced recruitment for 156 Kotwal (Mahsul Sevak or Revenue Servant) posts across 15 talukas of Nashik district, and online applications are open from 03 October 2026 to 17 October 2026. The posts need only a 4th standard pass, with age 18 to 40 years and a local-residence condition, which makes this a rare Maharashtra government job opportunity for candidates without a high school or college degree. Baglan has the most vacancies at 26 posts, followed by Nashik and Dindori at 16 posts each, and Kalvan and Malegaon at 14 posts each. A Kotwal, also known as Mahsul Sevak, is a village-level Revenue Department servant who supports revenue officers in village administration, though the exact duties are laid down by the Revenue Department. The recruitment is run for each area by a Selection Committee chaired by the Sub-Divisional Officer of that area, and the notification refers to a written examination for which an admit card will be issued on the official website. The pay, the fee amount and the full selection stages are not stated in the summary reviewed, so candidates should read the official advertisement at nashik.kotwal.org for them. Candidates for Nashik Kotwal Recruitment 2026 must apply online through the NIC-hosted portal at nashik.kotwal.org, and the last date to apply is 17 October 2026. Candidates must read the advertisement displayed at the Tehsil Office, the Sub-Divisional Officer's Office and on the website before applying, since the taluka-wise reservation roster decides which posts are open to which category, and since four talukas, Surgana, Trimbakeshwar, Peth and Kalvan, are marked 100% for the applicable reserved category.

Minimum qualification is a pass in 4th standard, supported by the mark sheets of 4th to 9th standard or a school leaving certificate as proof. No higher degree, diploma or experience is required in the summary reviewed, and a minimum percentage is not stated. The candidate must be a local resident of the village or saja for which he or she applies, proved by a residence certificate, and must be physically fit and able, supported by a certificate from a competent medical officer. Candidates from reserved categories must upload a caste certificate in the prescribed format. The application must be filled in English, and the vacancy is assigned village-wise and taluka-wise, so candidates should apply only for the taluka and saja in which they actually reside.
