What is the IBPS PO photo size and specification?

The IBPS PO photo must be a JPG/JPEG between 20 KB and 50 KB, exactly 200×230 pixels. It must be a recent colour photograph with a plain white or light-coloured background, face clearly visible, ears visible, no cap or hat, no dark glasses. If your phone photo is too large, use BharatTools Image Compressor with a 50 KB target — it runs in your browser, your photo never leaves your device.

What is the IBPS PO signature size and spec?

The IBPS PO signature must be a JPG between 10 KB and 20 KB, 140×60 pixels. Sign on plain white paper with a black or dark-blue ink pen. The signature should be clear and not touch the edges. Scan or photograph it, then use BharatTools Image Compressor with a custom 20 KB target to hit the upper limit.

How do I give the left thumb impression for IBPS PO?

Press your left thumb on a clean stamp pad (any colour except white, but preferably blue or black) and press it clearly on a plain white sheet of paper. The impression should be complete — all ridges visible, no smudging, no smearing. Photograph or scan it (JPG, 20–50 KB, 240×240 px). Do NOT use your right thumb. Female candidates also use the left thumb.

What is the IBPS hand-written declaration?

IBPS requires candidates to write a specific declaration paragraph in their own handwriting. The exact text is provided on the application portal instructions page. Write it on plain white paper with black ink in capital letters. Take a photograph or scan (JPG, 50–100 KB, 800×400 px). Do not print and sign — the portal specifically requires handwriting. If your image is too large, use BharatTools Image Compressor.

What is the IBPS PO application fee?

SC, ST, and PwBD candidates pay ₹175. All other candidates (General, OBC, EWS) pay ₹850. Payment is online only — debit card, credit card, internet banking, or UPI. No cash or challan option. The fee is non-refundable once submitted.

Can I edit my IBPS PO application after submission?

IBPS opens a correction window for a few days after the initial registration period closes. During this window you can edit certain fields (typically not name/DOB/category). Uploaded documents — photo, signature, thumb impression, declaration — cannot be changed after submission, so get them right the first time.

Are my files uploaded to BharatTools servers?

No. Every BharatTools tool runs entirely in your browser. Your photo, signature, thumb impression, and declaration image never leave your device — verify with DevTools Network tab while you process. This is especially important for biometric data like thumb impressions.

IBPS PO ke liye hand-written declaration mein kya likhna hota hai?

Declaration mein likhna hota hai: 'I, [name], hereby declare that all the information furnished by me in this application is true, complete and correct.' White paper par blue ink se apne haath se likhni hoti hai, fir scan karo (JPG, 50-100 KB). Print accepted nahi hota.

IBPS PO aur IBPS Clerk ke form mein kya fark hota hai?

Dono forms almost identical hain — same photo/signature/thumb specs. Main fark post aur fee mein hai. Dono ke liye alag CRP cycle hoti hai — ek application dusre ke kaam nahi aati.
