What is the Taluka-wise Vacancy for Thane Kotwal Recruitment 2026?
The notice gives a separate reservation table for every taluka, and for Bhiwandi, Murbad and Shahapur it splits the seats further into PESA and non-PESA areas. The split changes a lot from unit to unit, so check the row for your own unit, not just the total.

A category that is not listed in a row has zero seats in that unit. For example, Murbad PESA (0 to 25%) has no Open seat and no seat for women, and Shahapur PESA (0 to 25%) has no SC or ST seat. The number in brackets is the women’s 30% share, already counted inside the total.
