IBPS photo, signature, thumb impression and declaration size

Check the official notice before you upload. We read these rules in the documents named under Sources on 11 November 2026. A new notice can change them, and the form on the day is the final word. This site is not connected with any exam body.

• Dimensions 240 x 240 pixels in 200 DPI, that is 3 cm by 3 cm. File size 20 KB to 50 KB.

• Dimensions 800 x 400 pixels in 200 DPI, that is 10 cm by 5 cm. File size 50 KB to 100 KB.

The declaration text

The notification gives the exact words to write by hand:

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.

Write your own name in the blank. Use ordinary handwriting, not capital letters. The notification says a candidate who cannot write may get the text typed and put the left thumb impression below it.

How IBPS says to scan

• Set the scanner to at least 200 dpi and to True Colour.
• Crop to the edge of the photograph, signature, thumb impression or declaration.
• Save as JPG or JPEG.
• If a file is larger than allowed, the notification suggests lowering the scanner settings such as dpi and number of colours.

A phone camera works too. Take the picture from straight above in daylight, then crop and resize it with the tool on this site.

Things that get an IBPS form stuck or rejected

• Photo and signature swapped: each must go in its own place. The notification says a candidate who gets this wrong will not be allowed to appear for the exam.
• An unclear or smudged face, signature, thumb impression or declaration.
• Signature or declaration in capital letters.
• A small photo, a shadow on the face, sunglasses or a cap in the captured photo.

Is IBPS Clerk the same?

We read the annexure in three notifications (PO/MT-XVI, SPL-XVI and RRBs XV) and the sizes are identical in all three. We have not read the Customer Service Associate (Clerk) notification for this cycle ourselves, so check its Annexure before you upload.
