🚨 Abgari Police Update:
The wait is almost over! The Finance Department is expected to sanction 3000+ Vacancies for the post of Excise Constable (including Lady Excise Constable) under the Directorate of Excise.
Kolkata: Known as one of the most prestigious uniformed services in West Bengal, the WB Excise Constable (Abgari Police) recruitment is highly anticipated in 2026. Unlike the regular police force, the Excise department deals specifically with the regulation of liquor, narcotics, and preventing illicit trade.
Why is this job so popular? Because it offers a perfect balance between field duty and administrative power. If you have passed Madhyamik (10th) and have a good command over the Bengali language, this is the best career option for you.
