Sawantwadi Mahsul Sevak (Kotwal) Recruitment 2026: Sindhudurg Kotwal Bharti Saja-Wise Vacancies and Offline Form Details
The Office of the Sub Divisional Officer (Revenue), Sawantwadi has opened a small but very reachable recruitment in District Sindhudurg. Sixteen Mahsul Sevak (Kotwal) posts are being filled on the establishment of Tahsildar Sawantwadi, Tahsildar Vengurla and Tahsildar Dodamarg, and the selected candidate receives a monthly honorarium of Rs 15,000. If you live in one of these three talukas and have been waiting for a local Maharashtra government job that does not need you to chase an online portal, read this one slowly.
Applications are being taken from 2 October 2026 to 17 October 2026, up to 6.15 PM, and only in person at the Tahsildar office of the taluka concerned. One thing you must understand first: this is a short jahirnama. It gives the vacancies, the saja names, the reservation and the honorarium, and nothing more. The qualification, the age limit, the fee and the selection method are not in it. We have written this guide on GovtJobsAlert.in exactly as the notice reads, so you know what is confirmed and what you must still collect.
Key Highlights — Sawantwadi Mahsul Sevak (Kotwal) Recruitment 2026
The Mahsul Sevak, still called Kotwal by everyone, is the village-level helper of the revenue administration. The post sits under the Tahsildar of your own taluka, so the work and the posting both stay close to home. Here is everything this notice actually confirms.

How Many Vacancies Are There in Sindhudurg Kotwal Bharti 2026? Saja-Wise Breakdown
These 16 posts are not one common pool. Every post belongs to a named saja and is reserved for one category, and eight of the sixteen are also reserved for women under parallel reservation — so read the saja line, not just the category.
| Taluka | Category-wise Seats | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Sawantwadi | SC 1 / NT-D 1 / SBC 1 / OBC 1 / SEBC 1 / EWS 1 | 6 |

Women-Reserved Sajas in Sindhudurg Kotwal Bharti 2026 (Parallel Reservation)
The notice also prints a parallel reservation for women, saja by saja.
| Taluka | Women-Reserved Saja | Category |
|---|---|---|
| Vengurla | Tulas | Scheduled Tribe |
| Vengurla | Shiroda | Vimukta Jati – A |
| Vengurla | Redi | Nomadic Tribes – D |
| Vengurla | Adeli | SEBC |
| Vengurla | Vengurla | SEBC |
| Vengurla | Mochemad | SEBC |
| Dodamarg | Sateli Bhedshi | Other Backward Class |
| Dodamarg | Talkat | SEBC |
In Sawantwadi taluka the women column is a dash on every row, so none of its six sajas carries this parallel reservation. Vengurla’s two Scheduled Tribe seats sit at two different sajas: Khanoli in the saja column and Tulas in the women column. Here SEBC means Socially and Educationally Backward Class and EWS the Economically Weaker Section.
What Is the Eligibility for Sawantwadi Mahsul Sevak (Kotwal) Recruitment 2026?
Educational Qualification for Sawantwadi Mahsul Sevak (Kotwal) 2026
Read this part slowly, because it decides your next step. This jahirnama does not state any educational qualification. It says the terms and conditions, the procedure for filling the application, the instructions and all related information are in the detailed full advertisement on the Sindhudurg district website. So do not borrow the qualification from another district’s Kotwal notice — collect that advertisement and read the clause yourself.
| Eligibility Point | What This Notice States |
|---|---|
| Educational qualification | Not given in this jahirnama |
| Age limit | Not given in this jahirnama |
| Residence or domicile condition | Not stated; the seats are saja-wise |
| Category certificate | Each seat is tied to one category and one saja; eight of the sixteen sajas are women-only |
| Where the full rules sit | Detailed advertisement on the district website |
| Also displayed on | Notice boards of SDO (Revenue) Sawantwadi, Tahsildar Sawantwadi / Vengurla / Dodamarg, and the concerned Gram Mahsul Adhikari offices |
Age Limit for Sawantwadi Kotwal Recruitment 2026

What Is the Salary for Sawantwadi Mahsul Sevak (Kotwal) Recruitment 2026?
The notice fixes the money in a single line inside the vacancy table itself, and it is the same for all 16 seats.
| Component | Amount |
|---|---|
| Monthly honorarium (mandhan) | Rs 15,000 |
| Pay scale or pay level | Not stated in this notice — it prints only the honorarium |
| Allowances | None stated in this notice |
The jahirnama promises Rs 15,000 per month as honorarium for the Mahsul Sevak (Kotwal) post. No allowance or increment is mentioned anywhere in it, so treat Rs 15,000 as the whole of the figure the notice commits to.
An honorarium (mandhan) is not a pay scale: this notice attaches no pay level to the post and commits to nothing beyond Rs 15,000 a month. Even so, Rs 15,000 a month for revenue work inside your own saja is steady income close to home.
What Is the Selection Process for Sindhudurg Kotwal Recruitment 2026?
Here too the jahirnama stays silent. It does not describe how candidates will be chosen. It gives no exam pattern, no marks, no syllabus and no date for any test, and it does not say whether there will be an interview. The one thing it does tell you is who decides.
| Point | What the Notice Confirms |
|---|---|
| Selecting authority | Mahsul Sevak Selection Committee |
| Committee chairman | Sub Divisional Officer (Revenue), Sawantwadi |
| Pattern and marks | Not given in this jahirnama |
| Date of any test | Not given in this jahirnama |
| Where the method is published | Detailed advertisement on the district website |
Do not prepare on the strength of another district’s Kotwal process. Pick up Sindhudurg’s own detailed advertisement on the same visit on which you collect your form, so one trip gets you both.
How to Apply Offline for Sawantwadi Mahsul Sevak (Kotwal) Recruitment 2026?
There is no online form here, so do not go looking for a portal — everything happens at the Tahsildar office counter. Keep your category certificate and your personal documents handy before you go; this notice does not list the papers to attach, so check the detailed advertisement for that list. If this is your first government job application, take someone along on the first visit.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Go to the Tahsildar office the saja you are applying for belongs to — Sawantwadi, Vengurla or Dodamarg; the notice says the concerned office only — and ask for the Mahsul Sevak (Kotwal) form, which the notice confirms has been made available there |
| 2 | Collect the original form in the prescribed format issued by that office; only this original is accepted, so never take a photocopy from anyone |
| 3 | Fill it by hand exactly as the form asks, and attach the documents the detailed advertisement lists for your category and saja |
| 4 | Hand it in by hand at the same Tahsildar office counter, any day from 2 October 2026 to 17 October 2026 up to 6.15 PM, excluding government holidays |
| 5 | Before leaving the counter, note your submission date and the saja you applied against, and ask for whatever acknowledgement the office issues |
A form arriving by post or by any electronic medium such as e-mail will not be accepted, and a xerox copy of the application will not be accepted either. Either mistake ends your application before anyone reads it.

What Is the Application Fee for Sawantwadi Mahsul Sevak (Kotwal) Recruitment 2026?
| Category | Fee |
|---|---|
