IBPS has opened the CRP-RRBs-XV Officer Scale I preliminary examination call-letter download, with the official login listing November 9 to 22, 2026 as the download window. The IBPS homepage posted the link on November 9. Applicants can reach it through the Regional Rural Banks XV page, using the entry specifically labelled for Officer Scale I prelims.

This is the document-preparation stage for the regional rural bank recruitment process. The same page provides English and Hindi information handouts and separate scribe guidance. A download closing date is not an individual examination appointment: the call letter supplies the candidate’s own examination date, reporting time and venue.

Official XV Officer Scale I download window 9–22 November 2026; prepare printed letter, pasted and extra photos, original and copied valid photo ID; retain authenticated prelims papers for mains if called.
Original editorial preparation flow from IBPS’s XV login and information handout, pages 5–6. The download window is separate from each candidate’s own exam date, reporting time and venue. No candidate login or document issuance was tested. View full-size graphic ↗

Find the exact XV Officer Scale I route

On ibps.in, open the CRP-RRBs-XV update or navigate through CRP RRBs to Regional Rural Banks XV. Choose the November 9 Officer Scale I preliminary call-letter entry; it leads to the ibpsreg.ibps.in login carrying the same XV recruitment name. The official page states download commencement on November 9 and closure on November 22. Generic PO/MT or Office Assistant links belong to different recruitment or post categories.

The login asks for Registration No/Roll No and Password/DOB, with the displayed date-of-birth format DD-MM-YY, plus a CAPTCHA. Its help text says the birth date must match the registration record and can be checked against the application printout. Use the current page’s displayed format. After downloading, read the personal examination date, reporting time and venue, then prepare the printed letter and matching documents.

Prepare a matching document set

The official handout’s page 5 requires the call letter with a recent passport-size photograph pasted on it—the same photograph used for the application—and one additional photograph. Bring a photocopy of a currently valid photo ID stapled with the call letter and the same ID in original. Printing the letter is therefore one part of preparing a matching set of documents.

Page 6 lists accepted examples including PAN card, passport and Aadhaar/E-Aadhaar with photograph. It excludes ration cards and learner’s driving licences, and requires the call-letter name to match the photo ID. For a changed name, the stated exception requires an original Gazette notification, original marriage certificate or original affidavit. The full handout governs the accepted documents and conditions.

Keep the authenticated prelims papers

The prelims call letter is authenticated or stamped at the venue and is not collected there, according to page 5. Keep it safely together with the authenticated/stamped ID-proof copy: candidates called for mains must bring these along with the mains call letter and other required documents. Applicants using a scribe also need the separate declaration and applicable supporting documents specified in the official guidance.

The useful sequence is to download through the correct XV Officer Scale I route, read the personal appointment, prepare the photographs and matching ID, and retain the authenticated prelims papers afterwards. Access to the login or a downloaded letter does not itself establish final eligibility or selection. The official window and document rules make advance preparation possible; the candidate’s call letter determines the actual attendance plan.
