is deputy tahsildar a gazetted officer
Hi there,
Dear Aspirant, Tehsildar in countries like India are tax officers accompanied by revenue inspectors, they are responsible for collecting tax in a tehsil and are aslo recognised as the Executive Magistrate of the tehsil concerned.
Tehsildars are class 1 gazetted officers in most of the states. They are also given judicial power. Tehsildar were first appointed as Naib Tehsildars who, after successful completion of a State Service Exam (i.e. APPSC in Andhra Pradesh, HPAS in Himachal Pradesh, RAS in Rajasthan, UPPSC in Uttar Pradesh, , MPPCS in Madhya Pradesh, BAS in Bihar, , TSPSC in Telangana, or other equivalent exams in other states of India), or promoted from a subordinate post like Kanoongo (also known as Revenue Inspectors). I hope this solves your concern.
