What Posts Are Available? – Thane Kotwal Vacancy & Eligibility 2026
One designation, split by taluka and by PESA or non-PESA area. Thane and Ambernath are the larger rows. Murbad and Shahapur are split across three and two area types.
| Taluka and area | Vacancies |
|---|---|
| Thane | 24 |
| Bhiwandi, non-PESA | 11 |
| Bhiwandi, PESA (25% to 50% and above 50%) | 3 |

| Shahapur, PESA (25% to 50% and above 50%) | 11 |
| Shahapur, PESA (0 to 25%) | 8 |
| Total | 111 |
These area totals are the figures that read the same on the district advertisement tables and add to the printed 111. Each table also has a सर्वसाधारण column, a महिला 30% column, and community columns (अ.जा. Scheduled Caste, अ.ज. Scheduled Tribe, विमुक्त जाती, भटक्या जमाती, विशेष मागास प्रवर्ग, इ.मा.व. OBC, EWS, खुला). Those small cells did not read consistently on this scan, so they are not copied here. Match your category on pages 2 and 3 of the district advertisement PDF.
Pay is not printed against any row.

The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take
This is a collectorate recruitment for a village-level revenue post, not a state-wide combined exam. The form locks you to one saja in your own taluka. A candidate comparing it with a transferable clerical post is looking at a different kind of job.

Best fit: a Class 4 pass resident of Thane, Bhiwandi, Kalyan, Ambernath, Murbad or Shahapur who wants a local revenue posting and can sit an exam on 15 November 2026.
Skip this if you live outside these six talukas, you need a printed pay scale before you pay the fee, or you want to keep two talukas open. The second application is rejected, and the fee is not refunded.
Practical tip: pick the saja only after you have the residence certificate for that taluka in hand, then save the reprint the same day. A debit with no reprint is the gap the 24-hour payment note is warning you about.
What Documents Are Required?
- School-leaving certificate, or marksheet from Class 4 to Class 9
- Residence certificate of the taluka on the form
- Caste certificate, if you claim a reserved category
- Proof of age
- Photograph and signature
- Medical fitness certificate from a competent medical officer, for document verification
- Ex-servicemen or Divyang certificate, if you claim that category
- Reprint of the submitted application
The advertisement does not print an issue-date window for the caste or residence certificate. It does not print a photograph count beyond the upload.
What Happens After Selection?
- The result is scheduled for 16 November 2026.
- Document verification runs from 17 November 2026 to 27 November 2026. Original certificates have to match the uploaded documents.
- Medical fitness is checked against the certificate the advertisement asks for.
- The schedule places the appointment letter on 28 November 2026.
