Village names above are English spellings of the Marathi names, so match your village carefully with the notification PDF. Four sajjas are reserved for women (Pathrai, Dhanora, Karanji Kh. and Bhadvad). The notification also says clearly that no reservation for persons with disabilities applies, because a Kotwal does field work and must be physically fit. Since it is a single post per sajja, there is no horizontal reservation for project-affected persons, ex-servicemen or sportspersons either. The notification asks every applicant to check the reservation of the sajja before applying.
Who Can Apply for Nandurbar Kotwal Recruitment 2026?

| Physical fitness | Physically able to do Kotwal duties; fitness certificate needed at verification of original documents |

The residence rule is the heart of this recruitment. You can apply only for the sajja where you actually live, and you must upload the residence certificate while filling the form itself, not later.

What is the Salary of Nandurbar Kotwal 2026?
A Mahsul Sevak (Kotwal) gets a fixed monthly honorarium (मानधन) of ₹16,500 (Rupees Sixteen Thousand Five Hundred only), as per the Revenue and Forest Department Government Resolution dated 07/10/2024.
- Monthly honorarium: ₹16,500
- Nature of post: Purely temporary
- Posting: Your own sajja, close to home
The notification states only the fixed honorarium of ₹16,500 per month. It does not list any separate allowances, so do not expect a pay-scale structure like regular government posts.
For a 4th pass candidate, a steady ₹16,500 a month near your own village is a good, respected income.
What is the Selection Process for Nandurbar Kotwal 2026?
| Stage | Detail |
|---|---|
| Written Examination | Objective test on General Knowledge, held on 15/11/2026 |
| Verification of Original Documents | Provisional list (by written-exam marks) published at the Tahsil office; original documents and medical fitness certificate checked |

The notification does not state the exam duration or any negative marking rule, so check the admit card instructions. The exam for both talukas is held on one day, at one time, at the allotted centre. Every sajja is a separate selection, and the process of one sajja has no link with another. If two candidates are equal in all respects, the heir of the previous Kotwal of that sajja gets preference; otherwise ties follow the merit rules of the GAD Government Resolution dated 13 June 2018. For practice, you can browse previous year question papers for general knowledge.
