Nashik Kotwal Educational Qualification and Residence Rules

| One saja only | You can be a resident of one saja only, so apply in one saja |
| Fitness | Physically able to do the field work of a Kotwal |
You must give proof of residence while filling the form. Since the job is field work, the advertisement says no reservation for persons with disabilities has been applied. Because there is only one post per saja, parallel reservations for project-affected persons, ex-servicemen and sportspersons do not apply either.

What is the Salary of Nashik Kotwal (Mahsul Sevak) 2026?
The Mahsul Sevak (Kotwal) gets a fixed honorarium of Rs 15,000 per month, as per the Revenue and Forest Department Government Resolution dated 06/04/2023. The post is temporary and unclassified, so it is not a regular pay-scale post.
| Component | Amount |
|---|---|
| Monthly honorarium | Rs 15,000 (fixed) |
For a 4th-pass candidate this is a steady income close to home. Remember that this is a fixed honorarium under the 2023 Government Resolution, not a pay scale, and the advertisement mentions no allowances on top of it. Still, for someone who wants to serve their own village and stay near family, Rs 15,000 a month with local posting is a sensible start.

Which Conditions Can Cancel Your Nashik Kotwal Application?
| Condition | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Caste certificate | Backward-class candidates who do not produce it at scrutiny can be rejected |
| Non-creamy layer | Backward classes other than SC/ST need a certificate valid till 31/03/2027, or the form can be rejected |
| Caste validity | If not available, submit within 6 months of appointment, or the appointment is cancelled |
| Criminal record | No offence registered and no court punishment; police certificate needed at scrutiny |
| Political link | Affidavit on Rs 100 stamp paper that you have no political party connection |
| Small family | Affidavit of not more than two children born after 28/03/2005 |
| Original documents | If not shown, you will not be considered for final selection |
| Women’s reservation | Open-category women must claim it in the online form; Maharashtra domicile proof needed |
| False information | Candidature or appointment cancelled at any stage, with legal action |
| Pressure on committee | Removal from the selection process |
| Exam marks | Marks alone give no right to selection until documents are checked |
| Travel | No travel or other allowance for the exam or verification |
The advertisement also allows the selection committee to postpone, cancel or change the process, and to increase or reduce the posts. Read this table twice. The advertisement says exam marks give no right to selection until documents are checked, so a good score without a valid certificate is not enough. Start arranging your police character certificate, the Rs 100 stamp-paper affidavit, the small-family affidavit and, if you are from a backward class, your caste and non-creamy layer certificates this week. These offices take time, and the scrutiny date will not wait for you.
