SDO Yeola Kotwal Recruitment 2026

SDO Yeola Kotwal Recruitment 2026: Overview

The Office of the Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO), Yeola, in Nashik district is recruiting Revenue Servants, also called Kotwals, for village revenue units in Yeola taluka. These temporary posts fall under Yeola subdivision and follow the Maharashtra Revenue and Forest Department service rules. The recruitment is organised by saja, or village revenue unit, so your local residence and the reservation attached to that unit matter.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Local connection: You must live in a village covered by the saja for which you apply. Being a resident elsewhere in Nashik district is not enough; the notice links each application to the relevant local unit.
• One local unit: Apply only for the saja where you are a local or permanent resident. Each saja has a separate recruitment process, and applications for different units are not treated as interchangeable.
• Reservation by place: Bokte carries Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC) reservation. Waibothi, Jalgaon Neur, Kusur and Gorakhnagar are open-category units; Jalgaon Neur carries women’s reservation within the open category.
• Nature of service: The notice describes Kotwal as an unclassified post with fieldwork. Appointment and service remain subject to the department’s rules for this post.
• Reservation conditions: The notice does not provide disability reservation or the project-affected, ex-servicemen and sportsperson horizontal quotas for these single-post local units. Women claiming the notified women’s reservation must meet the applicable Maharashtra domicile conditions.
• Family-size condition: You must satisfy the Maharashtra small-family rules and provide the prescribed declaration. The notice also asks unmarried applicants to give the declaration, so this requirement is not limited to married candidates.
• Conduct: The notice requires a clean criminal record and no political-party affiliation. False information, hidden facts or attempts to influence the committee can lead to cancellation and further action.
• Equal-merit preference: When other factors are equal, the previous Kotwal’s heirs in that saja receive the preference described in the notice. Other equal-score cases follow the specified government tie-breaking rules.
• Provisional participation: Acceptance of your application does not itself establish a right to appointment. A mismatch between your claims and supporting evidence can cancel your candidature or the concessions claimed.
• Expenses and updates: You must meet your own travel and attendance expenses. Recruitment updates appear on the named portal; the office will not send every update by post.
• Changes to the drive: The selection authority may revise, postpone or cancel the recruitment and alter the notified positions or reservation. Government instructions issued during the process will also apply.
