Difference b/w Tehsildar and Tehsil/Town Officer

[aminshah101]

Hi, Hope everyone is doing great.

Well needed to know difference between Tehsildar and Tehsil/Town Officer.

I already know while the sooner is BS-16 in Board of Revenue and the latter is BS-17 in Local Government and Community Center, I needed to know which one is better in terms of Perks (excluding pay), Authority and Long Term career.

Looking forward to your reply .

Well both the posts have their own pros and cons but Tehsildar wields much more clout than Tehsil /Town Officer . Tehsil Officers role is limited to their respective fields (planning, Accounts, Regulation etc) and their boss TMO dominates over all of their functions to greater extent. Comparatively, Tehsildar functions independently with folowing powers

1-Revenue Court(to decided the disputes of lands, demarcation, mutation etc)
2-Collector
3-Certain Magisterial Powers
4- In ceratin areas , Tehsildar function as Assistant Registrar

Tehsildar generally leads the revenue team (From Patwari to Naib Tehsildar) in a Sub Divison , greater public dealing,greater resources at disposal and greater authority.

However there is a drawback.If Tehsildar is posted in BOR instead of Tehsil, He serves there mere as a Reader to Member BOR or any other post of this level.(In Sub-Divison Tehsildar has his own Reader).
