Salary
Pay is the scale for the grade, plus DA, HRA and the other allowances a public sector bank pays.
| Grade | Pay scale (Rs) |
|---|---|
| JMGS-I | 48,480 – 85,290 |
| MMGS-II | 64,820 – 93,960 |
| MMGS-III | 85,920 – 1,05,280 |
Application Fee
| Category | Fee |
|---|---|
| SC, ST, PWD | Rs 175 |
| UR, OBC, EWS | Rs 1,000 |
The fee includes GST and is paid online at the end of the form. It is not refunded, whatever the outcome.
Selection Process
- Online examination. Objective, on computer, at a centre allotted after you apply.
- Interview. Candidates shortlisted from the exam are called.
- Document verification. Originals for qualification, experience and category are checked.
The final merit list is built from the exam and the interview together, so a strong exam score alone does not carry an offer.
How to Apply for IOB Recruitment 2026
- Open the online application form on the IBPS portal.
- Register with your name, mobile number and email. Keep the registration number and password the portal gives you.
- Fill in your qualification and experience exactly as your documents read.
- Upload your photograph, signature, thumb impression and handwritten declaration in the sizes the notification specifies. Our image resizer and image compressor bring a scan to the exact pixel size and KB limit the form accepts.
- Pay Rs 1,000, or Rs 175 if you are SC, ST or PWD.
- Submit before 15 September 2026 and save the confirmation page. Keep a printed copy for the interview.
Apply a few days early. The portal is slowest on the closing day, and a payment that fails at the last hour cannot be retried after the window shuts.
