K. PROVISIONAL ALLOTMENT

On completion of the interview process / main examination, depending on the actual vacancies to be filled in
as per the business needs of the RRBs and as reported to IBPS, candidates shortlisted will be provisionally
allotted to one of the RRBs, based on merit-cum-preference keeping in view the spirit of Govt. Guidelines on
reservation policy, various guidelines issued by Govt. of India/Others from time to time, administrative
exigencies, etc. Vacancies given in this notification are indicative. Provisional allotment shall be done on the
basis of actual vacancies to be reported by RRBs. Candidates should not claim indicative vacancies as final
for provisional allotment. No change/modification/correction in the data already registered by the
candidate in the online application form is possible after the expiry of ‘Edit Window for Candidates to
Modify/ Correct Application form’. Candidates are advised to take note of the fields which cannot be edited
during the ‘Edit Window.’

For Officers in Scale I and Office Assistants (Multipurpose), the provisional allotment shall be restricted
within the RRBs of the State opted for.

A candidate belonging to reserved category, selected on the basis of norms as applicable to General Category,
will be treated at par with a General category candidate. Such own merit candidates belonging to reserved
categories who are provisionally allotted under unreserved (General) category will not be adjusted against a
reserved post. However, their original category as registered in the online registration will remain unchanged
and they shall be required to produce their caste certificate as applicable to them irrespective of their selection
under unreserved category. Failure to provide the same shall debar the candidate from further process.

In the event of two or more candidates having obtained the same score, merit order is decided as per
date of birth (the candidate senior in age is placed before/ above the candidate junior in age), as per the
prevailing practice.

The provisional allotment is subject to the candidate fulfilling the criteria for RRBs and identity verification
to the satisfaction of the allotted RRB. Verification of documents with regard to eligibility criteria will be
carried out by the Allotted RRB. This does not constitute an offer of employment. In case it is detected at any
stage of the recruitment process that, the candidate does not satisfy the eligibility criteria his/her candidature/
chance in the selection process shall stand forfeited.
As the provisional allotment will be made to the Participating RRBs on merit cum preference basis, once the
provisional allotment is made, no request for change shall be entertained. Any request for change shall result
in cancellation of candidature.

23

Provisional allotment once made shall be final and binding on the candidate and no further provisional
allotment can be requested.
A candidate who is provisionally allotted will forfeit his/her candidature/ chance for the selection process if
he/she does not avail the offer of appointment from the allotted RRB.

Issuance of offer of appointment including terms and conditions, formalities for verification, joining etc.
is solely the decision of the RRBs and shall be final and binding. IBPS shall have no role therein. Any
queries in this regard shall be directed to the RRBs only.

A reserve list to the extent of vacancies as per extant provision will be drawn in each category subject
to exigencies and availability of candidates. This does not guarantee provisional allotment
to/recruitment by the RRBs. In the event of RRBs providing further vacancies, within the validity period
of the Reserve List at different intervals, provisional allotment will be carried out three to four times
for the candidates in the reserve list subject to vacancies being provided within one year after the date
of provisional allotment. However, if no vacancy is furnished by the RRBs owing to exigencies or
otherwise during the validity period the candidates under the reserve list will not be considered for
provisional allotment. The reserve list will expire automatically on the day which is one year after the
date of Provisional Allotment or until a fresh provisional allotment is made, whichever is earlier, with
or without any notice. Candidates who are not provisionally allotted or not in the reserve list will not be
considered for any further process under CRP RRBs- XIV.

IBPS is not responsible in case the RRBs do not notify sufficient vacancies to exhaust the reserve list.
Similarly, neither the RRBs nor IBPS is bound to notify every vacancy that may arise in any RRB during
pendency of reserve list. IBPS is not responsible for the recruitment of candidates, and will only act upon the
vacancies notified by the RRBs in that regard within the specified period.

The decision of IBPS in provisional allotment of RRBs shall be final and binding upon the selected candidates.
However, IBPS reserves the right to cancel, reallot RRB-wise allocation/ change the process depending upon
exigencies or otherwise. The candidates however, shall have no right to demand re-allotment on any grounds
