Common rejection reasons for RBI Grade B

1. Missing name and date on the photograph. IBPS, SBI and RBI notifications often require your name and the date the photo was taken printed on the image. A perfectly sized photo without this text is rejected.

2. Coloured or patterned background. Banking portals expect a plain white or light background. Cream walls and curtains fail automated checks.

3. Photo older than the notification allows. Recruitment cycles specify how recent the photograph must be. An old studio photo saved to the correct KB still fails recency rules.

4. Wrong file format or corrupt JPEG. JPG only, within up to 50 KB. PNG exports and over-compressed files are common rejection causes.

5. Face too small or poorly lit. RBI Grade B expects a clear front-facing portrait with even lighting — not a cropped group photo or a selfie with harsh shadows.

Fix yours in 30 seconds

3. Download the JPG and upload it to the RBI Grade B online form.
4. Prepare your signature separately if the application asks for one.
