SDO Chandwad Kotwal Recruitment 2026: Overview

The Office of the Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO), Chandwad, Nashik is recruiting Revenue Servants, also called Kotwals, for revenue circles within Chandwad taluka. The drive follows special government approval to fill vacant posts in the local revenue setup. These are temporary engagements, and the notice treats each revenue circle, or saja, as a separate recruitment unit.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Local recruitment: Your application is tied to your own saja. The notice allows you to apply for only one saja and treats recruitment in different circles independently.
• Reservation: Kundalgaon is reserved for Vimukta Jati (A). Talegaon Rohi, Jopul and Dighwad fall under the open category, with women’s horizontal reservation in Jopul. Check the circle named in your application against the official village list.
• Nature of the post: The notice describes Kotwal as an unclassified post. Appointment and service conditions follow the Maharashtra Revenue and Forest Department rules cited in the advertisement.
• Preference: If other factors are equal, an heir of the previous Kotwal from the same saja receives preference. Other ties follow the government criteria cited in the notice.
• Small-family condition: The prescribed small-family rules apply. The notice also covers unmarried applicants under the declaration requirement.
• Reservation limits: The notice does not provide disability reservation for this field-based post. It also excludes the specified parallel reservations for project-affected people, ex-servicemen and sportspersons because each saja has an isolated post.
• Travel costs: You must meet your own travel and other expenses for attending the recruitment activities. The office will not reimburse these costs.
• Accurate information: Admission to the recruitment process is provisional. Incorrect information, concealed facts or an attempt to influence the committee can lead to cancellation, including after appointment.
• Updates: The office will use the recruitment website for notices and will not send separate postal communication. Keep your contact details accurate and check the website even if an email or text message does not reach you.
• Changes to the drive: The selection committee can change conditions or reservation, revise the number of posts, postpone the process or cancel it. Updated government instructions may apply before recruitment is completed.
