PwBD note: From the IBPS CRP SPL-XVI notification and the Mains scribe guidelines (22.10.2026): candidate-arranged scribe at own cost, opted for in the online application. The scribe 'may be' from an academic stream different from the post (one general instruction in the notification says 'should be' — choose a different-stream scribe to be safe). The one-step-below-qualification rule applies only to candidates under the 10.08.2022 OM (less than 40% disability with writing difficulty, Appendix I certificate). 20 minutes per hour compensatory time only if registered for it in the online application. VI candidates (40%+) may opt for magnified font instead of a scribe, not both. Before Mains: fill the online scribe declaration form (scribe.ibps.in), upload the scribe's 10th/12th/degree certificate, and bring the printout; the scribe brings the original certificate; carry your UDID card or disability certificate; both of you carry Aadhaar. Post-wise VI/PwBD suitability varies — check Annexure I and the PwBD clarification notice.

PwBD instructions: SCRIBE ELIGIBILITY & RULES (from the IBPS CRP SPL-XVI notification dated 01.07.2026 and the Guidelines for Scribe for the Mains exam, 22.10.2026): 1. Scribe Source: The candidate arranges their own scribe at their own cost, and must have opted for a scribe in the online application. 2. Academic Stream: The scribe 'may be from an academic stream different from that stipulated for the post' (scribe guidelines). One general instruction in the notification says the scribe 'should be from a different academic stream from the candidate and the post applied for' — the notification is inconsistent, so choosing a different-stream scribe is the safe course. 3. Qualification Limit: Only for candidates using a scribe under OM dated 10.08.2022 (less than 40% disability with difficulty in writing): the scribe must be one step below the candidate's qualification, with the Appendix I medical certificate and Appendix II undertaking produced at the exam. No qualification limit is stated for other scribe users. 4. Non-Candidate Rule: The scribe must not be a candidate in CRP SPL-XVI, and must not have been a scribe for, or be, a candidate debarred in CRP examinations. 5. One Scribe, One Candidate: A scribe can act for only one candidate in CRP SPL-XVI. 6. Extra Time: 20 minutes per hour, only for candidates who registered for compensatory time in the online application — it is system-based and cannot be granted at the centre. 7. Magnified Font (VI): Visually Impaired candidates (40%+) may view the test in magnified font with 20 minutes per hour; not available to those using a scribe. 8. Online Scribe Declaration (Mains): Fill the online scribe declaration form (link on ibps.in, scribe.ibps.in, and in the exam intimation e-mail), upload the scribe's class 10th/12th/degree certificate, download it and bring a printout on exam day. The scribe brings the original certificate; you carry your UDID card or disability certificate; both carry Aadhaar for biometric verification. 9. Misconduct: If the scribe answers independently or prompts answers, the session is terminated and candidature cancelled; candidate and scribe may be debarred. 10. Post Suitability: Check bank/post-wise VI, HI, OC, ID vacancy counts in Annexure I and the IBPS PwBD clarification notice — many specialist posts suit only some sub-categories (e.g. low vision only, not blindness).
