⚠️ Application Alerts

• Apply only for the saza whose village list includes your residence. A form for another saza does not meet the residence condition.
• Date split: Trimbakeshwar’s own advertisement closes at 5:45 PM on 16 October 2026. Peth, Baglan, Igatpuri and Chandwad close at 5:45 PM on 17 October 2026. Do not use one taluka’s date for another.
• The submitted form cannot be edited. A wrong email, a wrong mobile number, or a DND-registered number can block later messages, and the office says that the risk stays with the candidate.
• If the fee leaves your account but the portal still shows the form as incomplete, the portal says to wait 24 hours. Do not pay again in that window.

Who Should Apply?

4th pass, resident of the saza’s village list, age 18–40 on 03 October 2026 → Mahsul Sevak (Kotwal) – 156 seats.

You also need to be physically able to do Kotwal duties. A certificate from a competent medical officer is required. No criminal case should be registered against you, and no court should have punished you. If a case exists, the Trimbakeshwar conditions require an acquittal order. A police-station certificate is required at scrutiny. If it is not produced, the application can be rejected.

Who cannot apply

• Anyone who is not a resident of a village inside the saza applied for.
• Anyone who has not passed 4th standard.
• A candidate outside 18–40 years on 03 October 2026, unless a printed relaxation covers that candidate. The advertisements checked do not print the extra years.
• A reserved-category claimant who cannot produce a caste certificate from a competent authority at scrutiny.

Women have a 33% horizontal (parallel) reservation in open and reserved groups, under GR महिला-2023/प्र.क्र.223/कार्या-2 dated 04 May 2023. A woman claiming a reserved-category women’s seat must also produce a non-creamy-layer certificate where that department requires one. This is not a women-only recruitment.

The district press note marks Surgana (12), Trimbakeshwar (3), Peth (4) and Kalvan (14) as 100% reserved. The Trimbakeshwar advertisement prints अ.ज. (Scheduled Caste) for all three sazas: Sapgaon, Samundi and Shirasgaon (vi.). The category for the other 100% talukas is in those taluka advertisements. No PwBD column is printed in the district press note or the Trimbakeshwar roster.

What Posts Are Available? – Nashik Vacancy & Eligibility 2026

Baglan has the largest share (26). Nashik and Dindori have 16 each. Trimbakeshwar has 3, Chandwad 4 and Peth 4. You can apply only where you live, so the district total is not a pool.

Taluka totals are from the district press note. Saza-wise reservation is in each taluka advertisement. Trimbakeshwar’s three seats are Sapgaon, Samundi and Shirasgaon (vi.), all printed as अ.ज.

Vacancy-date note: the Trimbakeshwar advertisement cites state letter पदभ-2025/प्र.क्र.98/ई-98 dated 19 August 2026, approving 2,912 Kotwal seats vacant as on 31 May 2026 as a special case. Baglan, Igatpuri and Chandwad press notes describe their seats as vacant as on 31 August 2026. Both dates are printed. Confirm the cut-off used in your taluka advertisement.

What Is the Age Limit?

Age is reckoned on 03 October 2026. The band is 18 to 40 years. Reserved-category relaxation is “as per rules”. The extra years are not printed, so no category-wise maximum is stated here.

Examples:

✅ A 39-year-old open candidate born on 04 October 1986 is eligible (within the 40-year limit as on 03 October 2026).

❌ A 41-year-old open candidate born on 02 October 1985 is not eligible (over the maximum by 1 year).

Use our Age Eligibility Calculator to check instantly.

What Is the Remuneration? – Nashik Kotwal 2026

The advertisements print a monthly honorarium of ₹15,000 (पंधरा हजार), under Revenue and Forest Department GR संकीर्ण-2022/प्र.क्र.191/ई-10 dated 06 April 2023. That is the figure in the notice. It is not a 7th CPC basic pay, and no DA, HRA or allowance is printed on it.

Appointment and service conditions also follow the Revenue and Forest resolution पीकेए/1051/ल-6 dated 07 May 1959. The notice does not print pension, NPS, leave or a confirmation path. Do not read those into the ₹15,000 figure.

What Is the Application Fee?

Bank processing charges are extra. The fee is paid online with the form. The last date for the fee is the same day as that taluka’s application closes: 16 October 2026 for Trimbakeshwar, 17 October 2026 for Peth, Baglan, Igatpuri and Chandwad. No refund rule is printed.

How to Apply?

1. Open the advertisement for your taluka on the Nashik recruitment page and match your village to the saza list.
2. From 03 October 2026, 10:00 AM, fill the form only on nashik.kotwal.org. No other mode is accepted.
3. Fill the form in English, as the portal instructs. Keep the mobile number off DND.
4. Upload photo and signature in JPG or PNG. Upload the caste certificate, school-leaving certificate and residence certificate as PDF, each up to 200 KB. Use our Photo & Signature Resizer for the photo and signature. The certificate size is the portal’s 200 KB limit, not a guess.
5. Pay ₹600 or ₹500 online, plus bank charges. If the amount is debited and the form still looks incomplete, wait 24 hours before paying again.
6. Save the printed copy from the Reprint Application. The admit card will be placed on the same site before the exam.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Applying for a saza whose village list does not include your residence.
• Using 17 October for Trimbakeshwar, or 16 October for a taluka whose advertisement prints 17 October.
• Paying twice within the 24-hour wait the portal asks for.
• Filling the form in Marathi when the portal asks for English.
• Reaching scrutiny without the police-station certificate, caste certificate (if claimed) or the small-family affidavit. The small-family declaration under the Maharashtra Civil Services (Declaration of Small Family) Rules, 2005 is required from unmarried candidates as well.

How Are Candidates Selected?

No interview stage is mentioned. Selection is through the written exam, then document verification.

1. Written exam: objective multiple-choice paper, 50 questions, 100 marks, on general knowledge. Minimum 40 marks.
2. Candidates at or above 40 are called for original-document verification in merit order. The exam is held on the eligibility stated in the form. Final eligibility is decided only after scrutiny.
3. A final list is published of candidates who meet the advertisement conditions and whose online details match the originals.
4. Appointment is temporary, on the ₹15,000 honorarium, subject to the 07 May 1959 resolution.

No TA or DA is paid for the exam or for document verification. The exam date, centre and admit card date are not printed. Those will be on nashik.kotwal.org.

Physical standards such as height, chest or a run are not specified in the advertisements read. The condition printed is physical fitness for Kotwal duties, with a medical certificate.

The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take

This Nashik drive is a slice of a state approval, not a fresh cadre. The Trimbakeshwar advertisement cites letter पदभ-2025/प्र.क्र.98/ई-98 dated 19 August 2026, under which 2,912 Kotwal seats vacant as on 31 May 2026 were cleared as a special case. The honorarium is the 06 April 2023 GR figure, ₹15,000, not a district bargain. A candidate comparing this with a regular revenue-clerk post is comparing two different engagements. The notice does not print a regular scale or a confirmation path.

Best fit: a 4th-pass resident of a notified Nashik saza who can work in that village cluster and can produce residence, school-leaving, police and small-family papers at scrutiny.

Leave this one if you live outside the saza, you need a pay-matrix post, or you cannot get the police-station certificate before scrutiny. Reserved-category extra age is not printed, so do not assume a higher limit.

Practical tip: download your taluka PDF from the district recruitment page and tick your village on the saza list before you pay. Trimbakeshwar candidates should treat 16 October 2026, 5:45 PM as their deadline, even if another taluka’s notice says 17 October.

What Documents Are Required?

At application, the portal asks for a photo, a signature, and PDF copies of the caste certificate (if claimed), the school-leaving certificate, and the residence certificate.

At scrutiny, the advertisements require:

• 4th to 9th marksheet, or the school-leaving certificate
• Residence proof of a village inside the saza
• Caste certificate from a competent authority, if a reserved seat is claimed
• Police-station certificate on criminal record and punishment
• Medical certificate from a competent medical officer
• Non-creamy-layer certificate where a woman claims a reserved-category women’s seat
• Small-family affidavit in the prescribed form, including for unmarried candidates

What Happens After Selection?

1. The written exam is held on a date not yet announced. The admit card comes from nashik.kotwal.org.
2. Candidates with at least 40 marks out of 100 are taken up for original-document verification in merit order.
3. Scrutiny checks the advertisement conditions against the originals and the online form. A mismatch can drop the candidate.
4. The final list is of candidates who clear that check. Appointment is temporary, at ₹15,000 per month, under the 07 May 1959 Kotwal resolution. The notice does not print a joining date, a probation period, or a regular-scale confirmation.
