57 Tehsildars Promoted As Deputy Collectors, 25 Naib Tehsildars As Tehsildars

In Maharashtra, the state government has taken steps to bolster revenue administration by promoting 57 Tehsildars to Deputy Collector positions and 25 Naib Tehsildars to Tehsildar roles. This decision, made following the Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis' directions and Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule's initiative, aims to address administrative challenges posed by vacant posts and expedite government operations.

Under the 2025-26 select list, the 57 Tehsildars from the S-19 pay scale have ascended to the Deputy Collector cadre, which now falls under the S-20 pay scale. Additionally, the 25 Naib Tehsildars, who previously held the S-14 pay scale, have been promoted to the Tehsildar cadre under the S-19 pay scale, as per the supplementary select list.

The exact details of the promoted Deputy Collectors' postings will be released separately under the Maharashtra Revenue Department Allocation Rules, 2021, once the work to update the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls is concluded. Similar separate orders will be issued for the promotions of the Tehsildars.

It's worth noting that the Naib Tehsildars' promotions will require the final approval from the Maharashtra Public Service Commission. Moreover, Deputy Collectors newly promoted will be required to serve a minimum of three years in their respective revenue divisions before being eligible for further promotions.
