Naib Tehsildar
Who Should Apply Age: No upper age limit specified; standard government age relaxation rules apply Qualification: Bachelor's degree in Arts, Science, Commerce, or Agriculture from a recognised university Experience: Currently working on a regular or officiating basis for at least 5 years Nationality: Indian citizen The Naib Tehsildar post under MPESB is open to in-service employees—you must already be employed in a government, semi-government, or recognised institution in a permanent or officiating capacity. The 5-year service requirement is a hard eligibility criterion; candidates with less than 5 years of active employment on the application closing date will be rejected at the verification stage. Both the direct recruitment (46 vacancies) and backlog (27 vacancies) streams carry the same qualification and experience bar. The backlog vacancies are reserved seats for candidates from Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) categories, addressing historical representation gaps in the Naib Tehsildar cadre. Use the age calculator to confirm your eligibility; although age is not a limiting factor here, the 5-year experience rule effectively limits applicants to those aged 27+. Salary and Career Growth Direct Recruitment & Backlog: Pay Level-9, ₹36,200–₹1,14,800 gross monthly In-hand estimate: ₹32,000–₹1,00,000 after NPS (~10%) and income tax deductions Pension: Defined contribution via National Pension System (NPS) for employees joining after 2004 The Level-9 pay scale positions Naib Tehsildar as an upper-middle rung in state land revenue administration. After NPS contribution (~10% of basic) and income tax (~3–5% for mid-range earners), your in-hand salary will range from ₹32,000 to ₹1,00,000 depending on seniority within the band. Compared to equivalent private-sector roles in surveying or administrative management, government salary is lower but offset by job security, pension, and leave entitlements. Promotion to Tehsildar (Level-10 or 11) typically follows after 8–10 years of satisfactory performance, with further progression to Deputy Collector roles possible after 15+ years. Use the salary calculator to estimate your in-hand income based on current basic pay.

Application window: 2026-09-17 to 2026-10-01. Late applications are not accepted. Submit at least 2–3 days before the deadline to avoid server congestion. Common Mistakes That Get Applications Rejected Incomplete or mismatched employment details: If your service record in the form does not match the employment certificate you upload, your application will be rejected at verification. Ensure the start date and continuous service are identical in both documents. Backdated or unofficial employment certificate: Many applicants submit service certificates from HR departments that lack official seal, date, and authorised signatory. M
