The Indian state of Rajasthan is divided into 50 districts and they are further divided into more than 420 Tehsils. In 2023 Government of Rajasthan announced creation of around 30 new tehsils, but at present time these new tehsils are not fully functioning.

Tehsil Administration in state

As an entity of local government, the tehsil office ( panchayat samiti) exercises certain fiscal and administrative power over the villages and municipalities within its jurisdiction. It is the ultimate executive agency for land records and related administrative matters. The chief official is called the tehsildar.

Tehsils can be considered sub-districts in the Indian context. In some instances, tehsils overlap with "blocks" (panchayat union blocks or panchayat development blocks) and come under the land and revenue department, headed by tehsildar; and blocks come under the rural development department, headed by the block development officer and serve different government administrative functions over the same or similar geographical area. ^[1]
