Overview
The Collector Office, Nashik, under the Revenue and Forest Department, Government of Maharashtra, has invited online applications for 156 temporary Mahsul Sevak (Kotwal) seats across 15 talukas.
The post is honorarium-based rather than a regular pay-scale appointment. The monthly honorarium is ₹15,000. Applications are accepted through the official Nashik Kotwal portal from 03 October 2026 at 10:00 AM.
A key condition is local residence. You can apply only for the saza whose village list includes your residence. The district total is therefore not a common vacancy pool for candidates from any part of Nashik district.
