SDO Kankavli Kotwal Recruitment 2026

SDO Kankavli Kotwal Recruitment 2026: Overview

The Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO), Kankavli, Sindhudurg District is recruiting Revenue Servants, also called Kotwals, for the Tehsildar establishments in Devgad, Kankavli and Vaibhavwadi. The notice brings the three talukas together under one recruitment exercise for vacant village revenue units, known as sajas.

This is full-time work on a temporary, honorarium basis. The role supports local revenue administration, and your application is tied to a particular saja in your own taluka.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Nature of appointment: Kotwal is an unclassified post. The notice describes the appointment as temporary and says retirement benefits do not apply.
• Local connection: You must belong to the taluka where you seek appointment. Applications for vacancies in another taluka do not meet the notice's residence condition.
• One saja: Choose the revenue unit carefully and state its name and the category in your form. If you send applications for several sajas, the office will consider only the first one received.
• Women's reservation: The notice applies the government's rules for women's reservation. Women can also be considered on merit for places without that horizontal reservation; where a woman is unavailable, the notice permits a man from the same category to be considered.
• Reserved-category claims: The notice excludes migrants from other states from consideration for Maharashtra's reserved posts. Interchange between the listed nomadic and denotified categories depends on current government policy and approval.
• Conduct: Do not attach a political recommendation to your form. False or misleading information can cancel your selection and allow the next person on merit to be considered.
• Travel: You must attend the examination at your own expense. The notice does not provide travel reimbursement.
• Recruitment changes: The office may revise the vacancies, timetable or process. Watch the notice boards at the relevant Tehsildar office for announcements affecting your application.
• No automatic appointment: Applying or meeting the stated requirements does not itself give you a right to an examination call or appointment. The selection committee retains control of the recruitment.

Application Submission Notes

Use the original printed form issued by the Tehsildar Office in Devgad, Kankavli or Vaibhavwadi, as applicable to your taluka; photocopies are not accepted. You must hand it in personally at that same office, because postal and email applications are not accepted.
