The first thing you need to do to make sure you can appear in the RBI Grade B exam is to apply online. And whenever the RBI Grade B 2025 application process opens, candidates need to upload multiple documents. And that too, correctly formatted, to complete the online form successfully. If any file is missing or improperly uploaded, your form may get rejected. In this blog, we’ll quickly guide you through exactly what you need to do to easily apply online and how to make preparations for it the right way.
Why Documents Matter
The RBI application is entirely online. From registration to uploading files, you’ve got to follow strict guidelines, especially when it comes to the documents. The bank reviews each form carefully, and even a small mistake can cost you your application.
So, let’s make sure you don’t miss anything.
Documents You Must Upload
Here’s a quick list of the four key items you’ll upload:
- Latest Passport‑size Photograph
- Signature (scanned)
- Left‑thumb Impression (scanned)
- Handwritten Declaration
How to Prepare Each Document
There are certain boundaries regarding the documents to be submitted while applying online, within which you must abide.
Here’s what you need to keep in mind:
1. Passport‑Size Photograph
- Recent photo with a white background
- Size: 4.5 cm × 3.5 cm (approx. 200×230 pixels)
- File size: 20 KB–50 KB
- No hats, sunglasses, or shadows. Show your full face clearly.
2. Signature
- Sign in blue or black ink on white paper
- Scan within 240×240 pixels
- File size: 30 KB–50 KB
- Don’t use ALL CAPS for your name (stick to your normal handwriting).
3. Left‑Thumb Impression
- Use clean white paper and ink your left thumb
- Scan at same pixel dimensions and size limits as the signature
- Ensure clarity—no smudges or misprints.
4. Handwritten Declaration
Write the exact text below in your own handwriting (not all caps):
“I, __ (Name of the candidate), hereby declare that all the information submitted by me in the application form is correct, true, and valid. I will present the supporting documents as and when required.”
