FAQ

Call letter questions, answered

The notification tentatively puts the Mains call letter in November 2026, and the IBPS calendar gives 27 December 2026 for the Mains. IBPS hasn’t announced an exact download date yet. You download the call letter from ibps.in, and it gives the centre, venue address, date and time.

Your registration number and your password or date of birth, entered on the official IBPS website, www.ibps.in.

No. IBPS doesn’t send hard copies of call letters or the Information Handout by post or courier. Updates come by email and SMS to the contact details you registered, so check ibps.in regularly as well.

No. IBPS doesn’t accept requests to change the centre, date, time or venue. It can allot you a centre other than the one you chose, even one outside the state/UT you applied for. That change is only for holding the exam: you’re still considered for the vacancies of your own state/UT.

No. CRP CSA-XVI has no interview. After the Mains, qualified candidates are considered for provisional allotment (tentatively March 2027). The allotted bank then verifies documents, and a qualifying local language test is held before joining where it applies.

Carry a valid original photo ID and a photocopy. The name on it must be exactly the same as on your call letter. Accepted IDs include a PAN card, passport, permanent driving licence, voter card, bank passbook with photo, Aadhaar / e-Aadhaar with photo, college or university ID, employee ID, Bar Council ID, or an ID from a gazetted officer or people’s representative on official letterhead. Ration cards and learner’s licences are not accepted.
