What candidates should know

The Kotwal role is associated with village-level revenue administration. The exact duties, place of posting, pay or honorarium, service conditions and appointment rules must be taken from the Mumbai Suburban District notification. Since district-specific advertisements may use different application procedures, do not rely on instructions from Nashik, Sindhudurg or another district.

Eligibility requirements

The notice attachment is the authoritative source for education, age, local residence requirements, reservation and any other conditions. The district’s web summary does not provide these details in its visible text. Read the PDF carefully before deciding whether to apply; avoid assuming eligibility based on the title alone.

Prepare these documents if required by the notice

Educational certificates and marksheets.
Date-of-birth proof and identity document.
Residence/domicile proof, if prescribed.
Reservation and non-creamy-layer certificates, where applicable.

Application precautions

Check whether a corrigendum or additional instruction has been issued after the initial notification.

Never pay a third party promising selection, and keep original certificates safe until the document-verification stage.

The official notification covers 13 Kotwal vacancies across the Tehsildar offices of Andheri, Borivali and Kurla. The advertisement states that applications are accepted from 8 October through 24 October 2026, up to 6:15 PM on working days. The official PDF is the controlling source for the exact office address, form and supporting documents.

Post location	Vacancies
Tehsildar, Andheri	6
Tehsildar, Borivali	3
Tehsildar, Kurla	4
Total	13

Eligibility and service conditions

Minimum educational qualification: fourth-standard pass, as stated in the notification.
Age: 18 to 40 years on the relevant application cut-off date; check the notice for applicable reservation/relaxation rules.
Applicants must satisfy the local-resident condition for the relevant taluka and have good knowledge of Marathi.
The post is temporary and honorarium-based, not a regular permanent post with assumed pension benefits.

Application fee and written examination

The application form is to be obtained from the relevant Tehsildar office for ₹20. The notification specifies a written examination of 100 marks with 50 multiple-choice questions, conducted in Marathi. Subjects include general knowledge and intellectual aptitude, Marathi, mathematics, science, history and civics, geography, and questions related to Mumbai Suburban District. The notification schedules the written test for 15 November 2026 from 11:00 AM to 12:00 noon; candidates must monitor the official district website for any change.

Before paying a fee or visiting an office, confirm the correct Andheri, Borivali or Kurla address from the official PDF. Do not send the application to a different taluka office merely because the post name is the same.

Application planning: Mumbai Suburban Kotwal notice

The district listing shows a notice period of 8–24 October 2026. Since the public summary does not display the vacancy total or full eligibility criteria, the attached notification is essential. Use this focused checklist to avoid preparing the wrong form or travelling to the wrong office.

Checklist before filling the form

Open the exact notification linked above and confirm that it concerns Revenue Servant/Kotwal vacancies in Mumbai Suburban District, not another district or post.
Write down the total vacancies and any location-wise or category-wise breakup from the PDF. If the notice has an annexure, check that too.
Confirm education, age and the date on which age is calculated. Read all relaxation rules and identify the certificates needed to claim them.
Find the exact application route, receiving office, postal address (if applicable), required enclosures, and whether the deadline is based on submission, dispatch or receipt.
Prepare a copy set and check each document against the name, date of birth and other details on the form before signing.

Final-day risk check

Do not wait until 24 October to discover that the form requires a certificate, signature, declaration or offline submission. If the notice requires physical delivery, account for travel and office hours; if it permits post, check the wording about receipt versus dispatch. Save the official PDF and any corrigendum so you can show which instructions you followed.

How to check your application pack

Every required field is completed and the signature is present wherever requested.
Copies are self-attested only where instructed; originals are kept safe unless the notice explicitly asks for them.
Any reservation, domicile or non-creamy-layer claim is supported by the correct valid certificate.
The envelope, subject line, destination and submission method match the notification exactly.
You keep an acknowledgement, postal tracking record or online receipt as applicable.

Never pay an intermediary who promises a job or selection. Use the district’s official notice and contact details for clarification. The article summary cannot confirm the vacancy count, pay, age limits or selection method where those facts are absent from the official listing summary.

Practical application checklist for Mumbai Suburban

Select the correct office. The vacancy table allocates 6 posts to Andheri, 3 to Borivali and 4 to Kurla. Identify the taluka/local-resident condition that applies to you before collecting the form.
Collect the prescribed form. The official notice says the form is available from the relevant Tehsildar office for ₹20 during the notified period on working days. Use the address printed in the official PDF.
Check eligibility line by line. Confirm fourth-standard pass, age eligibility, local residence and Marathi knowledge. If claiming a reservation benefit, verify the required certificate and current validity rules.
Build a document pack. Keep education proof, date-of-birth proof, local residence proof, relevant caste/category certificates and the recent photograph/signature ready as required by the notice. Compare names and dates across documents before signing.
Submit early. The closing time is 6:15 PM on 24 October 2026. Do not assume that arriving at the office after closing time or posting an application on the final day will count as timely submission.
Prepare for the test. Revise Marathi, basic mathematics, science, general knowledge/intellectual aptitude, history and civics, geography, and Mumbai Suburban-specific facts. Keep checking the official portal for exam instructions and any schedule change.

Example: if you are applying for a Borivali vacancy, use the Borivali Tehsildar office and the relevant local eligibility conditions. Do not submit the application to Andheri simply because the post title is identical.

Final submission checklist

Confirm you meet the minimum fourth-standard qualification and age conditions stated in the notice.
Confirm the correct local Tehsildar office—Andheri, Borivali or Kurla—and the vacancy group you are applying for.
Carry the ₹20 application-form amount and ask for the prescribed form and any official instructions.
Complete every required field, sign where required, and attach only the documents specified in the official advertisement.
Submit within the notified working-day hours and no later than 6:15 PM on 24 October 2026; keep an acknowledgement or other proof of submission.
After applying, check the district website for the exam notice, admit-card instructions and any corrigendum. The current notification schedules the written examination for 15 November 2026, 11:00 AM–12:00 noon.

Use this list as a final cross-check, not as a replacement for the complete official notification. If any checklist item differs from the PDF, follow the official notification.

Simple preparation plan before the examination

For candidates who submit a valid application, the notification lists the written examination for 15 November 2026. Use the following short plan alongside any instructions or syllabus published by the district:

First study session: review basic Marathi grammar and comprehension.
Second session: practise arithmetic at the level appropriate to the prescribed examination and review science basics.
Third session: revise general knowledge, intellectual aptitude, history, civics and geography.
Local knowledge: study reliable facts about Mumbai Suburban District, its geography and administration.
Before the test: recheck the official exam notice, reporting time, permitted identification and instructions. Do not assume the schedule cannot change.

This is a general revision plan based on the subjects listed in the notification, not an official question paper or a guarantee of the exact question distribution.
