Maharashtra Govt Jobs 2021: In view of the prevailing COVID pandemic, the Maharashtra government provided a one-year age relaxation for candidates who are preparing for government jobs. Owing to the lockdown, several recruitment examinations were put on hold. As a result, many candidates crossed the upper age limit. This relaxation in age will give candidates one more chance to qualify for the examination and take government jobs.

"Chief Minister Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray has given relief to the candidates who have crossed the maximum age limit by appearing for the competitive examinations as a one-time special issue, as examinations for government service could not be held during the Corona period. The ruling in this regard has been taken by the General Administration Department today," the statement issued by CMO read."
