Thane Seva Kendra Operator Recruitment 2026 — 832 Vacancies

Thane Seva Kendra Operator Recruitment 2026: Overview

Collector and District Magistrate Office, Thane is selecting Aaple Sarkar Seva Kendra Operators for vacant urban service-centre locations across Thane district. The centres connect residents with notified public services through assisted digital access, and the operator is expected to run the location as a reliable citizen-facing facility. This is a centre-allocation opportunity under Maharashtra government guidelines, not a salaried desk post in the Collector's office.

The urban list covers municipal areas including Thane, Navi Mumbai, Mira-Bhayander, Bhiwandi-Nizampur, Kalyan-Dombivli, Ulhasnagar, Ambernath and Badlapur. You apply for a centre within the municipal area where you live, and the relevant municipal boundary is treated as the geographic unit. This local link matters because the operator handles day-to-day requests from nearby residents and must keep the centre accessible during the prescribed service hours.

A selected operator manages both the digital setup and the public-service counter. That means maintaining the systems, helping residents use notified services, protecting personal data and solving routine technical problems. The notice also expects the centre to support government campaigns and follow instructions issued by district, sub-divisional and tehsil authorities.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Local residence: You must live within the municipal corporation or municipal council area for which you apply.
• Centre setup: You must arrange at least a 100-square-foot office with two computers or laptops, a laser printer, scanner, biometric device, webcam, power backup, broadband internet, CCTV and suitable public access.
• Operating model: The centre may collect only the service charges fixed by the government. Digital payments should be preferred, and charging more than the approved rate is not allowed.
• One-centre rule: You may apply for only one Aaple Sarkar Seva Kendra. An application is not accepted when the applicant or a member of the same family already runs one.
• Integrity checks: False residence or application details can cancel the allocation at any stage. The selected person must provide a police character-verification certificate after the final list.
• Conflict restriction: Serving government or semi-government staff, elected representatives and specified office-bearers of public bodies cannot apply for this allocation.
• Initial term: The selected Village Level Entrepreneur receives an initial one-year agreement. Further renewal depends on service quality, system uptime, complaint handling, record compliance and other performance measures.
• Inspection and control: Authorised district officers may inspect the centre and its records. The administration may shift, suspend or cancel a centre when official directions or serious service issues justify it.
