- Total Posts
- 19
Overview
The Tehsil Office, Alibag in Raigad District, Maharashtra, under the Revenue and Forest Department, has announced recruitment for 19 Kotwal (Mahsul Sevak or Revenue Servant) posts, and applications are accepted offline from 02 October 2026 to 17 October 2026. FreeJobAlert lists this drive under the name Raigad District, while other job sites attribute the same 19 posts to the Alibag Tehsil Office, so candidates should check the official advertisement for the exact area covered. The posts need only a 4th standard pass with knowledge of Marathi, with age 18 to 40 years, which makes this a Maharashtra government job opportunity for candidates without a high school or college degree. A Kotwal, also called 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 selection process listed for Raigad is a written test on 15 November 2026, followed by document verification between 17 November and 27 November 2026 and a merit list. The pay and the application fee are not confirmed from the official advertisement, so candidates should wait for the official figures instead of relying on aggregator numbers. Candidates for Raigad Kotwal Recruitment 2026 must obtain the application form from the Tehsil Office or the district website at raigad.gov.in and submit the completed form with documents before 17 October 2026, during office hours on working days. Candidates must read the official advertisement before applying, since the vacancy is assigned village-wise and saja-wise, since the local-residence condition applies, and since the same 17 October 2026 deadline applies to the other taluka-level Kotwal notices in Raigad and nearby districts, each of which must be applied for separately.
Qualification
Minimum qualification is a pass in 4th standard, with knowledge of the Marathi language, and no higher degree, diploma or experience is required in the sources reviewed. The candidate must be a resident of the villages included in the area for which the Kotwal post is advertised, and must be physically fit and able, supported by a certificate from a competent medical officer. The qualification proof is the 4th standard mark sheet or an equivalent educational certificate. The sources do not state a minimum percentage, and candidates should read the official advertisement to confirm the exact documents and the village or saja-wise vacancy list before applying.
