What Posts Are Available? – ZP Raichur Vacancy & Eligibility 2026

Both designations sit inside Gram Panchayat offices in Raichur district. Clerk-cum-DEO work is records, correspondence and computer entry. Tax Collector / Karavasooligara work is property-tax and local-cess collection in the same village cluster.

The larger share is clerical (34). Tax collection seats (31) suit candidates who can work in the field inside their own GP. Apply only against the village listed in the annexure. A high PUC percentage in a village with one seat is more useful than a modest score in a crowded GP.

  • ✅ Confirmed: 34 Clerk-cum-DEO + 31 Tax Collector; village residence rule; PUC + Kannada + 3-month computer certificate.
  • ❓ Not specified in published extracts: full Clerk category matrix; complete GP-by-GP annexure in machine-readable form.

Eligibility – Education, Age & Domicile

Education (both posts): Pass in PUC (Pre-University Course) or equivalent with Kannada as one subject, and a computer training certificate of at least three months from an institute recognised by the Central Government or the Government of Karnataka.

Equivalent qualifications cited in the notification guidance include CBSE / ICSE Class 12, NIOS Higher Secondary, a three-year Polytechnic diploma, or a two-year ITI, subject to the rules. Convert PUC marks to a percentage using the method on the marksheet. Use our Percentage Calculator if you need a quick check. The official mark card prevails.

Domicile: Permanent residence in the specific Gram Panchayat village where the vacancy exists. Rural reservation and Kannada-medium certificates help only if the notification’s roster for that GP allows those claims.

Language: Kannada in PUC is mandatory. This captures local office work and tax collection in Raichur villages.

What Is the Age Limit?

Age is reckoned as on 03 September 2026. The minimum age is 18 years for all categories.

Use our Age Eligibility Calculator to check instantly.

What Is the Tax Collector Salary in Raichur Gram Panchayats?

The notification does not mention a 7th CPC Level. It states that Gram Panchayat staff will receive the minimum monthly wage and allowances fixed by the Labour Department from time to time.

RDPR-stated 2026 rates for Karnataka Gram Panchayat Bill Collector and Clerk-cum-Data Entry Operator are in the same band:

ComponentIndicative amount
Basic (GP wage table)₹15,196.72
VDA / dearness component₹2,223.60
Indicative monthly total₹17,420.32

In-hand is close to this total because these posts sit on minimum-wage + VDA, not Level-4 HRA/NPS arithmetic. Expect roughly ₹16,500–₹17,500/month after statutory deductions, depending on attendance and any local recovery. Figure based on RDPR-communicated GP staff wage tables in 2026. Verify the exact amount from the appointment order.

Leave noted for GP staff in the same RDPR briefing: 10 days casual leave, 2 days restricted holiday, 180 days maternity leave, 15 days paternity leave. Hostel, canteen or transport is not promised in this notification.

These are not State Secretariat or KPSC Group-C pay scales. Compare this honestly with a KPSC clerk drive before you treat ₹17,420 as “government Level pay.”

What Is the Application Fee?

CategoryFee
General₹500
Category-2A, 2B, 3A, 3B₹300
SC / ST / Category-1 / Ex-Servicemen₹200
PwBD / specially abled₹100
Sports (special talent)₹100

The fee is non-refundable, including if the application is rejected or you are not appointed.

Pay first at any State Bank of India branch, then upload the receipt in the online form.

How to Apply?

Applications are online only. The fee is paid offline at SBI, and then the receipt is uploaded on Seva Sindhu.

  1. Read the notification on the Zilla Panchayat Raichur website and confirm that your village name is in the vacancy annexure.
  2. Pay the category fee at SBI using account 52075526994 (IFSC SBIN0020203). Keep the challan/receipt number.
  3. Open the Seva Sindhu GP-level posts application (open until 03 September 2026). If the token link fails, go to zpraichur.karnataka.gov.in → Recruitment / GP posts → Online Application.
  4. Fill personal details, GP/village, education and reservation claims exactly as on certificates.
  5. Upload SSLC and PUC mark sheets, computer certificate, photo, signature, fee receipt and caste / rural / Kannada-medium / ESM / PwBD certificates as applicable. Resize files with the Photo & Signature Resizer before upload.
  6. Submit and save the application number. Print the acknowledgement.

SBI challan without a submitted Seva Sindhu form is not a complete application.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  1. Applying for a Gram Panchayat that is not your village of residence. That application will not be considered.
  2. Paying the fee but never submitting the Seva Sindhu form, or submitting the form without uploading the SBI receipt.
  3. Uploading a short computer “awareness” printout instead of a three-month course certificate from a recognised institute.
  4. Claiming 2A/3A or rural reservation with an expired or wrong-authority certificate. Claims are verified with the issuing office.
  5. Waiting till 03 September 2026 evening. Challan queues and portal load both spike on the last day.

Why Does Zilla Panchayat Raichur Matter?

Zilla Panchayat Raichur is the district-level rural local body for Raichur district in the Kalyana Karnataka region. It supervises Gram Panchayats that run village tax collection, sanitation, water and record-keeping under the Karnataka Gram Swaraj and Panchayat Raj framework.

A Clerk-cum-DEO keeps GP files and digital records moving. A Tax Collector (Karavasooligara) is the person who actually brings property tax and local dues into the GP account. Both sit close to voters and elected members, not in Bengaluru directorates.

Candidates search “Raichur Gram Panchayat bharti”, “ರಾಯಚೂರು ಜಿಲ್ಲಾ ಪಂಚಾಯತ್ ನೇಮಕಾತಿ” and “Karavasooligara jobs” because these seats are local, PUC-level and exam-free. They also search whether GP staff are “real government servants.”

The honest limit: GP employees are recruited under the 2020 staffing rules, but pay is the Labour Department minimum wage, not a State Group-C matrix. Transfers exist only in special cases inside the district. See more Karnataka local-body drives on our Karnataka state jobs and Panchayat Raj sector pages, and the Zilla Panchayat Raichur organisation page.

The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take

The closest tabs a Raichur PUC candidate usually has open are other district Gram Panchayat Bill Collector / Clerk-cum-DEO notifications and the occasional statewide PUC clerk drive such as Karnataka Lokayukta Clerk-cum-Typist. Those statewide posts pay a formal government scale and draw applicants from the entire State. This ZP Raichur cycle trades pay and mobility for a village lock and a short window with no written paper.

Best fit: Candidates who already live in the notified GP, have Kannada in PUC, hold a genuine three-month computer certificate, and want a local desk or tax-collection role without preparing for KEA or KPSC papers.

Skip this if you live outside that village, even if you are from Raichur city or another taluk. Also skip if you need 7th CPC Level-4 money, frequent transfers, or a clear promotion ladder into Taluk / ZP Group-C cadres. Those paths are separate recruitments.

Practical tip: Pay the SBI challan first, then sit with your PUC marks card and village name before opening Seva Sindhu. Most rejections in village-restricted GP drives come from the wrong GP code or a computer certificate that is not a full three-month recognised course.

What Documents Are Required for Raichur Gram Panchayat Jobs?

  • SSLC marks card (date of birth)
  • PUC / 12th or equivalent marks card (Kannada subject visible)
  • Three-month computer training certificate from a recognised institute
  • Recent passport-size photograph and signature
  • SBI fee receipt (account 52075526994)
  • Residence/domicile proof for the notified Gram Panchayat village
  • Caste / Category certificate (Tahsildar or competent authority) if claiming reservation
  • Rural reservation certificate, if applicable
  • Kannada-medium study certificate, if claiming that reservation
  • Ex-Servicemen discharge book, if applicable
  • PwBD certificate, if applicable
  • Widow/sports certificate, if claiming those relaxations
  • Aadhaar and a working mobile/email for Seva Sindhu

Document alert: Reservation certificates must be in the prescribed Karnataka formats and still valid on the application date. A computer “workshop” of a few days will not replace the three-month certificate.

Service Conditions

Recruitment is under Sections 112 and 113 of the Karnataka Gram Swaraj and Panchayat Raj Act, 1993, and the 2020 staffing and pay rules. Posting is in the allotted Gram Panchayat. Transfer of Bill Collector and Clerk-cum-DEO is allowed only in special circumstances, with consent, within the district, by the CEO of the Zilla Panchayat.

These posts are regular GP cadre seats, not outsourced daily-wage contracts. They are also not Karnataka Civil Services Group-C posts with 7th CPC Level pay and statewide transfer liability. Pension / NPS terms follow GP employee rules in force at appointment, not an assumption copied from Secretariat clerks.

What Happens After Selection?

  1. ZP Raichur publishes the GP-wise merit list from PUC marks after scrutiny.
  2. Shortlisted candidates attend document verification with original marks cards and reservation certificates.
  3. The issuing authority may re-verify caste/category certificates. An invalid certificate drops that reservation claim.
  4. The CEO’s office issues the appointment order for the specific Gram Panchayat.
  5. You join the GP office, complete joining formalities and start Clerk-DEO or tax-collection duties in that village cluster.
  6. Service then runs under the 2020 GP staff rules, including leave and any later intra-district transfer only with consent.

From application to joining in similar district GP cycles is often a few weeks to a few months after the last date, because there is no written exam calendar. That is an estimate from similar drives, not a date in this notification.

Contact & Helpline

FAQs – Clerk & Tax Collector Recruitment 2026

Q1: What is the last date to apply for ZP Raichur Clerk and Tax Collector 2026?

A: 03 September 2026. Late applications are not accepted. No extension has been announced as of 26 August 2026. Pay the SBI fee early so the receipt can be uploaded the same day.

Q2: What is the age limit for ZP Raichur Tax Collector posts?

A: 18 to 40 years for General candidates as on 03 September 2026. Category-2A/2B/3A/3B go up to 43. SC, ST and Category-1 go up to 45. Extra relaxation exists for Ex-Servicemen, PwBD, widows and sports quota.

Q3: Is there an exam for ZP Raichur Clerk-cum-DEO, or is it interview-based?

A: No written exam is mentioned. Selection uses PUC or equivalent marks, then document verification for that Gram Panchayat. An interview is not confirmed in the detailed notice text. Watch the ZP site if a later stage is added.

Q4: What is the salary of a Raichur Gram Panchayat Tax Collector?

A: About ₹17,420 per month on current Labour Department GP wage tables for Bill Collector and Clerk-cum-DEO (basic ₹15,196.72 + VDA ₹2,223.60). This is the minimum wage plus VDA, not 7th CPC Level pay. Confirm the figure on the appointment order.

Q5: Can final-year PUC students apply for this recruitment?

A: No. You need to have passed PUC / equivalent with Kannada and the three-month computer certificate when you apply. Result-awaited candidates should apply only if the official PDF expressly allows qualification by a later date. It does not say that in the published conditions.

Q6: Is ZP Raichur Clerk-cum-DEO a permanent government job?

A: It is regular Gram Panchayat cadre recruitment under the 2020 staffing rules, not an outsourced contract. It is still not a Karnataka Civil Services Group-C post with 7th CPC Level pay. Treat it as local GP service with minimum-wage pay.

Q7: Can candidates from other states apply for ZP Raichur recruitment?

A: No. Even other Karnataka districts are outside the net. Only residents of the specific Gram Panchayat village where the vacancy exists can apply. A Bengaluru or Kalaburagi address will not do.

Q8: Where will I be posted if selected as Tax Collector?

A: In the Gram Panchayat you applied for, inside Raichur district. Intra-district transfer is only in special cases, with your consent, by the CEO. Do not expect a Raichur city desk if your vacancy is a rural GP.

Q9: Is Karnataka domicile enough for these Gram Panchayat posts?

A: No. State domicile is not the test. The notification restricts applications to permanent residents of that GP’s villages. A Raichur district certificate without village residence in the notified GP is not enough.

Q10: How much do Gram Panchayat clerks earn in Karnataka?

A: Recent RDPR figures put Clerk-cum-DEO and Bill Collector at about ₹17,420 a month, including VDA. Water Operator and Attendant sit slightly lower. This is local-body minimum wage, not Secretariat clerk pay.

Q11: What are the disadvantages of a Raichur Gram Panchayat Tax Collector job?

A: Worth knowing before you apply: pay stays near the Labour Department floor, promotion into Taluk or ZP cadres is not automatic, and you remain tied to one village cluster. The trade-off is local posting and no written exam.

Q12: Is there a physical test for Bill Collector posts in Karnataka GPs?

A: No PST or PET is mentioned for these Clerk and Tax Collector seats. Selection is based on academic merit plus documents. Field tax collection still means walking village streets after joining.

Q13: Do I need to register on KEA or KPSC before applying?

A: No. This cycle is not a KEA or KPSC combined exam. Apply on Seva Sindhu after the SBI challan. A KPSC application number will not substitute for this form.

Final Checklist – Is This the Right Job for You?

  • You meet the age and PUC + Kannada + computer-course criteria as on 03 September 2026.
  • You live in the notified Gram Panchayat village, not merely in Raichur district.
  • You can arrange mark sheets, computer certificate and reservation proofs before verification.
  • You accept PUC-merit selection with no written exam calendar.
  • You accept GP minimum-wage pay and posting in that village panchayat.
