Eligibility Criteria

Educational Qualification (as on 31 July 2026)

For both grades, the mandatory qualification is the same:

• A graduate degree in any discipline from a government-recognised university or institution; and
• Certification in Forex Operations from the Indian Institute of Banking and Finance (IIBF). The certificate must be dated on or before 31 July 2026.

Certifications such as CDCS or CSDG from LIBF, CTFP or GTC from ICC Academy, or CITF from LIBF/IIBF are preferred but not required, and must also be dated on or before 31 July 2026.

Work Experience (as on 31 July 2026)

Grade	Minimum experience
JMGS-I	1 year in trade finance processing and operations, in an officer/official role in a scheduled commercial bank (preferably in a maker role)
MMGS-II	3 years in trade finance processing, in an officer/official role in a scheduled commercial bank

Experience is counted after the essential academic qualification. Teaching and training experience does not count. The experience certificate from the employer must state specifically that the candidate worked in the relevant field.

Age Limit

Age is reckoned as on 31 July 2026.

Grade	Minimum age	Maximum age
JMGS-I	21 years	30 years
MMGS-II	23 years	32 years

The maximum age is for unreserved candidates. Upper-age relaxation is 3 years for OBC (non-creamy layer), 5 years for SC/ST, and 10 to 15 years for PwBD candidates depending on their base category. You can work out your exact age as on the cut-off date with the age calculator before you apply.

Pay Scale

Grade	Pay scale
JMGS-I	Rs 48,480 - 85,920
MMGS-II	Rs 64,820 - 93,960

In addition to basic pay, the officer is eligible for DA, HRA, CCA, provident fund, NPS, leave fare concession, medical facility and other perquisites as per the Bank's rules in force.

Job Role

Trade Finance Officers work at SBI's International Banking Group processing centres. The JMGS-I post is a maker role — inputting trade transactions, scanning and uploading documents, and doing document scrutiny before approval. The MMGS-II post is a checker role — validating the maker's entries, screening transactions against sanctions and AML policies, and acting as an OFAC releaser. Both roles work in rotating shifts, including a night shift (9:00 PM to 6:00 AM). The posts stay in the Specialist Cadre and cannot be converted to the General Cadre.

Application Fee

• General, EWS and OBC candidates: Rs 750 (application fee and intimation charges)
• SC, ST and PwBD candidates: nil

The fee is paid online through the payment gateway during registration, using debit card, credit card or internet banking. It is non-refundable and cannot be adjusted against any future selection.

Selection Process

Selection is by shortlisting and interview. Meeting the minimum qualification and experience does not guarantee a shortlisting call — the Bank's committee decides the shortlisting parameters and calls an adequate number of candidates. The interview carries 100 marks, and the merit list is drawn from interview scores alone. Where two candidates tie at the cut-off, the older candidate ranks higher.
