Malegaon Kotwal Recruitment 2026

Malegaon Kotwal Recruitment 2026: Overview

Tehsil Office Malegaon, Nashik District is recruiting Revenue Servants (Kotwals) for local revenue circles, called sajas, in Malegaon taluka, Maharashtra. The recruitment comes under the local Sub-Divisional Officer and covers temporary appointments in the revenue administration.

The saja is central to this recruitment: each advertised place belongs to a named group of villages. If you are considering the post, read the village grouping carefully because living elsewhere in the same district does not meet the notice's local residence condition.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Local residence: You must live in a village included in the saja for which you apply. Choose only the saja where you are a local or permanent resident. The notice treats each saja as a separate recruitment unit.
• Nature of appointment: These are temporary Kotwal appointments. The notice also says the post is unclassified. Your service remains subject to the Maharashtra Revenue and Forest Department rules governing Kotwal appointments.
• Reservation claims: The reservation attached to your chosen saja matters. Check the relevant entry before making a claim; a reservation available in another saja does not automatically apply to yours.
• Women's reservation: If you claim a place reserved for women, you must make that claim in your application and meet the Maharashtra domicile condition. The notice distinguishes open-category women from women claiming a backward-category reservation.
• Other horizontal reservations: The notice does not extend the project-affected, ex-servicemen or sportsperson horizontal quotas to these single-post saja units. It also states that disability reservation does not apply to this field-based role.
• Equal-merit preference: When other conditions are equal, an heir of the previous Kotwal of the same saja receives preference. Other tied cases follow the government criteria cited in the notice; the preference is not an automatic appointment.
• Your attendance costs: You must meet your own travel and other expenses when called for recruitment-related attendance. The office will not reimburse these costs.
• Accuracy matters: Information entered in the online form cannot be changed later. False details, concealed facts or attempts to influence the committee can lead to cancellation, including after appointment.
• Official updates: Keep checking the recruitment portal for announcements. The office will publish recruitment information there rather than send individual postal notices, so you should not rely only on messages reaching your phone.
• Changes to the drive: The selection authority may change the advertised positions or reservation distribution, amend the process, postpone it or cancel it. Updated government orders can also affect the rules while recruitment is under way.
