“Becoming a banker is everyone’s dream”

It is one of the highly reputed white collared jobs in the industry. Bankers are widely recognised as knowledgeable, dignified and service oriented professionals. Nobody can deny the fact that without bankers and the banking industry no country can grow and its economy can ever prosper. So to gain this highly desired job we need to inculcate ourselves some desirable traits such as utmost kindness, effective customer relationship, love for people and service oriented mindset.

At forefront the very first debacle that we have to encounter is Document verification process which we need to complete inorder to enter the banking sector after clearing our preliminary examination and interview. Here in this article we will explain you the list of documents & certificates that are required at the time of joining that will be verified by bank officials.
Come let us see what documents are all needed to complete this formality:

Document Checklist:

1) ID proof: PAN card/ Aadhaar card/ Driver’s License, Voter`s ID/ Passport etc

Note:

(i) There have been few malpractices in recruitment process earlier. So public sector banks are very particular in verifying the identity of the candidate before he/she joins their organization.

(ii) Here it is to be stated that even if you had secured the top score in IBPS exam & interview, banks can reject & cancel your allotment – if you don't submit the necessary proofs.

Banks have all authority to void candidates from joining if they do not provide the necessary proofs at the time of Document Verification process. All of you have worked hard to get bank jobs. So don't lose the opportunity by making silly mistakes in preparing joining documents. If you are in doubt, get it clarified & report for duty with confidence.
