Srinagar, September 3, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Jammu and Kashmir Bank has approved 1,400 fresh posts for recruitment at various levels, in what officials described as the bank’s largest hiring exercise in recent years.
J&K Bank Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Amitava Chatterjee said the bank’s Board had approved the posts for advertisement in the coming weeks.
The recruitment will primarily be open to candidates holding Jammu and Kashmir domicile, while around 40 posts will be earmarked for eligible candidates from Ladakh.
The proposed recruitment is expected to generate significant interest among educated youth in Jammu and Kashmir, where demand for institutional and government-sector employment remains high. The bank has not undertaken a hiring exercise of this scale for some time.
A detailed recruitment notification is expected to be issued in the coming weeks, specifying the number and nature of vacancies, educational and other eligibility requirements, age criteria, application procedure and selection process.
The bank said the recruitment plan also underlines its role as a major regional financial institution and employer. With an extensive presence across Jammu and Kashmir, J&K Bank has traditionally been an important source of employment for local professionals and graduates.
While the Board has cleared the proposed posts, the final details will be known only after the formal notification is issued. Candidates have been advised to rely on the official advertisement for information regarding vacancies, eligibility and the selection process.
Founded in October 1938 by Maharaja Hari Singh, J&K Bank is a scheduled commercial bank headquartered in Srinagar. The governments of the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh hold a majority stake in the bank.
J&K Bank acts as the exclusive agent of the Reserve Bank of India for conducting government banking business in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. Its shares are listed on both the National Stock Exchange and the Bombay Stock Exchange.
The bank offers corporate and retail banking services, including savings accounts, fixed deposits, housing and car loans and business financing, besides digital services such as mobile banking, UPI and internet banking.
