I am 50 years old and I have been retired from Army as Sundar Clerk after 30 years of service. So, am I eligible to apply for Clerk post in any nationalized banks in India? Is there any age relaxation for retired Army personnel?

IBPS stands for Institute of Banking and Personnel Selection. The age limit for IBPS Clerk is 20-28 years. There is three years upper age relaxation for OBC and five years for SC/ST candidates.

There is five years upper age relaxation for clerk in nationalized bank. But even availing upper age relaxations, you will not be eligible to apply for post of clerk in nationalized banks.

The upper age limit to apply for post of Clerk in nationalized bank is 28 years. In some banks, it is 30 years.

Candidates belonging to OBC and SC/ST candidates are eligible for upper age relaxation. The upper age limit is relaxed by three years for OBC and five years for SC/ST candidates.

The upper age limit for the post of Clerk in Nationalized bank is 20-28 years.

Age Relaxation:- 3 years for OBC and 5 years for SC/ST candidates.

For nationalized bank, age limits are defined as follows:

• Lower Age limit: 20 years
• Upper Age limit: 28 years

• Relaxation for SC/ST: 5 years
• Relaxation for OBC: 3 years

While for Ex-Servicemen, relaxation is the actual period of service rendered in defense services + 3 years (subject to maximum 50 years).

Since, your age is already 50 years, so you cannot apply for Clerk post in nationalized bank.
