Service Conditions and Caveats

• Local residence: You must live in Ratnagiri taluka. After appointment, you must live in the revenue circle assigned to you and give an undertaking confirming this arrangement.
• Service status: The Kotwal post is unclassified. The notice says it does not fall within Group C or Group D, and appointment does not carry regular salary or retirement benefits.
• Reservation: The notice provides social, economic and women-specific reservation. Your application will be considered under the category you declare, so enter that category clearly and consistently.
• Caste validity: Where provisional appointment is allowed against an undertaking, you must supply caste validity within six months. Failure to meet this condition can end your service.
• Conduct: Political-party or political-organisation membership is barred. You must not carry on work or business that obstructs your Kotwal duties, and political pressure during recruitment can disqualify you.

• Joining after appointment: You must join within 15 days of receiving the appointment order. Otherwise, the office may appoint the next person from its waiting list.
