The live photo is taken during registration

The IBPS notification for CRP-CSA-XVI (the clerk recruitment published on 1 August 2026) says that, in addition to the photograph you upload, you must capture and upload a live photograph through your webcam or mobile phone during the registration process. Choosing "Capture Photo" activates the webcam and uploads the picture automatically. Choosing "Click here to Scan" lets you scan a QR code with your phone and take the picture on a website, and the photo is uploaded to the form. The notification's dos and don'ts: use a light-coloured, preferably white background with adequate light, look straight at the camera, and keep the photo passport sized. Do not wear coloured glasses, sunglasses or a cap, and avoid shadows on the face, a face covered by a mask, blur or poor light.

Keep the same appearance

IBPS may capture and verify your photograph and biometric data, such as the right thumb impression, at different stages of the selection process. The photo captured is matched with the photo uploaded or captured live in the application, and you must not change your appearance from it. Failure to produce the same photograph at various stages, or doubt about identity, can lead to disqualification. IBPS advises keeping about 8 copies of the photograph you uploaded, and you need to bring one additional photograph, the same as the one pasted on the call letter, to the preliminary exam.

If you have no left thumb

The notification's guidelines for the left thumb impression say that if you have no left thumb you may use the right thumb. If both thumbs are missing, use a finger of the left hand starting from the forefinger, then of the right hand, and if no fingers are available, the left toe may be used. In every case where the left thumb is not uploaded, specify in the uploaded document the name of the finger and whether it is the left or right hand or toe.

The handwritten declaration

The declaration must be in your own handwriting, in English only, and not in capital letters. If it is written by anybody else or in another language, the application is considered invalid. Candidates who cannot write may type the declaration and put their left thumb impression below it, then upload that document. Photo, signature, thumb impression or declaration that is smudged or unclear can lead to rejection. A signature in capital letters is not accepted.

IBPS document specifications

The Institute of Banking Personnel Selection asks for four scanned documents in its PO/MT and Clerk (CSA) applications: a photograph, a signature, a left thumb impression and a handwritten declaration. The numbers below are as per the IBPS detailed notifications for CRP PO/MT-XV and CRP CSA-XV. All files must be JPG or JPEG.

Source: IBPS detailed notifications for CRP PO/MT-XV and CRP CSA-XV (Clerk), 2025. Specifications can change between recruitment cycles, so always check the current notification before you apply.

Photograph

Use a recent colour passport-style photo with a light background, preferably white. Look straight at the camera with a relaxed face. Caps, hats and dark glasses are not allowed. IBPS also captures a live photo during the application through a webcam or phone, in addition to this upload, so dress the same way for both.

Signature

Sign on white paper with a black ink pen. A signature written in CAPITAL letters is not accepted.

Left thumb impression

Press your left thumb on a black or blue ink pad and then on white paper. Roll it gently for a full, clear print. If the tool's cleanup makes the ridges faint, untick Clean up and try again. The notification describes what to do if a candidate does not have a left thumb; read that section if it applies to you.

Handwritten declaration

Write the declaration text below in English, in your own running handwriting with black ink on white paper, not in capital letters. Write it clearly across about three or four lines, then photograph or scan it:

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.

Scanning tips

The notification suggests scanning at 200 DPI or more in colour. A phone photo taken in daylight works as long as the page is flat and sharp. The tool writes 200 DPI into the thumb and declaration files and hits the exact pixel sizes and KB ranges. Keep copies of all four files; you may need them again for the mains or interview stage.
