Online registration started on 18 August 2026 and the last date for application and fee payment is 7 September 2026. This is a JMG/S-I officer recruitment and is especially relevant to candidates who already have officer-level experience in a Scheduled Commercial Bank.
Vacancy Details
The official advertisement totals 2,482 vacancies: SC 358, ST 240, OBC 600, EWS 303 and General 981, with horizontal PwBD reservations as specified. Vacancies are distributed state-wise. The largest combined totals include Gujarat and Karnataka after inclusion of unfilled vacancies from previous LBO recruitment exercises. Other participating states include Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Goa, Jammu & Kashmir, Kerala, Maharashtra, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Odisha, Punjab, Sikkim, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Tripura and West Bengal. A candidate can apply for only one State.
Eligibility
The mandatory educational qualification is graduation in any discipline from a recognised university/institution. The Bank also lists certain preferred certifications, including IC-38 and specified NISM certifications, but these are preferred rather than the basic mandatory graduation requirement.
Mandatory Experience
This is not an entry-level graduate banking recruitment. As on 1 August 2026, candidates need a minimum of one year of post-qualification experience as an Officer in a Scheduled Commercial Bank listed in the Second Schedule of the Reserve Bank of India. Clerical-cadre experience is not counted for this requirement. Candidates will need an experience certificate/job profile certified by the employer, and the Bank may reject experience that does not substantially match the relevant officer profile.
Age Limit and Relaxation
As on 1 August 2026, the minimum age is 21 years and maximum age is 30 years for the General category. The official advertisement provides 5 years' relaxation for SC/ST, 3 years for OBC-NCL and specified relaxation for PwBD and eligible ex-servicemen categories. Candidates must possess the required certificates in the Government-prescribed format.
Local Language Requirement
Candidates must be proficient in the local language of the State for which they apply—reading, writing, speaking and understanding. The official vacancy table specifies the relevant language, such as Gujarati for Gujarat, Kannada for Karnataka, Malayalam for Kerala, Marathi for Maharashtra, Odia for Odisha, Punjabi for Punjab, Tamil for Tamil Nadu, Telugu for Andhra Pradesh/Telangana and Bengali/Nepali for West Bengal. Special English-language provisions are stated for Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland.
Application Fee
The official fee is ₹850 inclusive of GST plus payment-gateway charges for General/EWS/OBC candidates and ₹175 inclusive of GST plus gateway charges for SC/ST/PwBD/ESM/DESM and women candidates. The fee is non-refundable.
Salary, Probation and Bond
The official JMG/S-I basic-pay scale starts at ₹48,480 and progresses to ₹85,920 under the notified scale, in addition to applicable allowances and benefits. Selected candidates receive one advance increment for one year or more of qualifying officer experience in a Scheduled Commercial Bank. Probation is 12 months of active service. The current service bond requires three years of service or payment equivalent to three months' gross salary, capped at ₹2 lakh, if the candidate leaves before completing the stipulated period, subject to Bank policy.
Selection Process
The Bank may use an online test and/or other selection methods such as psychometric assessment, Group Discussion and interview as provided in the detailed advertisement. Shortlisting or participation does not by itself guarantee appointment. Eligibility and original documents are verified at the prescribed stages.
