Canara Bank Securities Limited (CBSL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Canara Bank, has released its General Recruitment Process 2026-27 combined with a Special Recruitment Drive for filling SC, ST and OBC backlogs, dated 20 August 2026 from Mumbai and signed by the General Manager. A total of 10 posts are on offer across seven departments – AVP Operations, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, and Assistant Manager/Officer/Junior Officer on Contract in DP Back Office Operations, Risk Management, Compliance, Institutional Dealing and Research. Postings are at Mumbai and Bengaluru. There is no online application portal and no written examination. Candidates must download the physical application form from the company website, fill and sign it, and email it along with an updated resume to the recruitment mailbox by 15 September 2026 till 6:00 PM. All eligibility – qualification, age and experience – is computed as on 31 July 2026. Selection is by shortlisting followed by a personal interview only.
Important – Read Before You Apply: Four things that will get your application rejected before anyone reads it. First, the email subject line is fixed and different for every single post – the job description for each department prescribes an exact wording, and each one states plainly that no application will be accepted with any other subject. Second, the notification sets the minimum age at 20 years while the official application form prints it as 21 years – if your age as on 31 July 2026 falls between 20 and 21, write to the company and get this confirmed before you apply rather than assuming either figure. Third, candidates who applied to CBSL on earlier occasions in the last 12 months and were not shortlisted or selected need not apply again – CBSL ran multiple recruitment rounds through 2025, so a large number of repeat applicants are directly excluded by this clause. Fourth, this engagement is not employment in Canara Bank and carries no claim whatsoever against Canara Bank – several of the 10 posts are Junior Officer on Contract, and the company reserves the right to conduct police verification and draw CIBIL credit reports on successful candidates.

The EWS column carries no vacancy in this cycle. The single AVP post is Unreserved. The CS and Compliance Officer post sits within the group of 9 in this table rather than being shown separately. Reservations apply as per prevailing government guidelines.
Post-wise Eligibility and Experience
| Department | Educational Qualification | Minimum Experience |
|---|---|---|
| AVP Operations | Graduate or Postgraduate in Finance or Commerce | 8 years in capital market operations. Preference to candidates with Back Office, Compliance, Surveillance and Audit handling experience in a broking firm |
| CS and Compliance Officer | Qualified Company Secretary, plus NISM Series-III-A (Non-Fund) | 2 to 4 years in the broking industry |
| DP Operations, Bengaluru | Graduate from a recognised University, Commerce or Finance preferred | Junior Officer on Contract 2 years; Officer 3 years; Assistant Manager 5 years, all in broking back-office operations |
| Risk Management, Mumbai | Graduate or Postgraduate in Commerce, Finance or Management. NISM certifications preferred | Junior Officer on Contract 2 years; Officer 3 years; Assistant Manager 5 years, all in a broking firm |
| Compliance, Mumbai | Graduate or Postgraduate in Law, Finance or Commerce. CS or LLB preferred | Junior Officer on Contract 2 years; Officer 3 years; Assistant Manager 5 years, all in a broking firm |
| Institutional Dealing Desk, Mumbai | Minimum Graduate. NISM SORM, FO and CD certifications mandatory. MBA or Postgraduate in Finance preferred | Junior Officer on Contract 2 years; Officer 3 years; Assistant Manager 5 years, all on an institutional dealing desk in a broking firm |
| Research Department, Mumbai and Bengaluru | Graduate, with MBA, CFA or CA preferred. Valid NISM Research Analyst certification mandatory | Junior Officer on Contract 3 years; Officer 3 years; Assistant Manager 5 years, all in the research department of a broking firm |
Computer proficiency is required for all posts. Note that Research is the only department where the Junior Officer on Contract experience bar is 3 years rather than 2, placing it level with the Officer grade. Note also that Institutional Dealing and Research both require the relevant NISM certification as a mandatory condition, not a preference – candidates without a valid certificate on hand should not apply to those two departments.
The Email Subject Line – Fixed Per Post
Every department job description prescribes an exact subject line and states that no application will be accepted with any other subject. This is the single most common reason a correctly eligible application gets discarded.
| Post Applied For | Exact Subject Line to Use |
|---|---|
| AVP Operations | Application for the post of AVP – Operations |
| CS and Compliance Officer | Application for the post of Company Secretary and Compliance Officer |
| DP Operations, Bengaluru | Application for DP Operations – Bengaluru |
| Risk Management | Application for Risk Management |
| Compliance | Application for the post of Compliance |
| Institutional Dealing Desk | Application for Institutional Dealing Desk |
| Research Department | Application for Research Department |
Send one email per post. Do not combine two applications into a single mail.
Age Limit
Age is reckoned as on 31 July 2026 (inclusive).
| Category | Age Limit |
|---|---|
| Minimum age | 20 years as per the notification; the official application form states 21 years |
| Maximum age (Unreserved) | 30 years |
| SC and ST | 30 + 5 years relaxation |
| OBC | 30 + 3 years relaxation |
| Candidates with capital markets or financial services experience | Further relaxation in the upper age limit to the extent of work experience, up to a maximum of 10 years, for all categories, on production of satisfactory proof |
The experience-based relaxation is what makes the AVP post workable at all. The AVP role demands a minimum of 8 years in capital market operations, which almost nobody can hold by age 30. Candidates applying for AVP Operations should be ready to document their full working history, because the relaxation is granted only against proof of relevant experience.
Pay and CTC
Every job description states that CTC is offered as per company policy. CBSL has not published a pay scale, grade pay or indicative CTC range for any of the 10 posts, so no salary figure should be assumed from earlier CBSL cycles. The company has also reserved the right to recruit candidates at any grade or designation depending on their qualification and past work experience, meaning the grade you apply for is not necessarily the grade you are offered.
Selected candidates as Assistant Vice President, Assistant Manager or Officer will be on probation for one year, counted as 12 months of active service from the date of joining, as per company HR policy. Junior Officer positions are explicitly on contract.
Application Fee
The notification does not prescribe any application fee for any category. No payment gateway, challan or fee receipt forms part of this process. Applications are submitted by email only.
Selection Process
| Stage | Details |
|---|---|
| Shortlisting | Based on academic track record, experience and suitability, as decided by the company. CBSL reserves the right to shortlist a requisite number of candidates depending on vacancies |
| Interview call | Time, date and place intimated by email to the candidate’s registered address only |
| Personal Interview | Candidates attend at their own cost |
| Final selection | On the basis of marks secured in the interview |
| Identity verification | Photo ID required at the interview – PAN Card, Passport, Driving Licence, Voter’s Card, Bank Passbook with photograph or photo-embossed Credit Card |
| Medical fitness | Selection is subject to being declared medically fit as per company requirement |
| Post-selection checks | The company may conduct police verification and draw CIBIL reports on successful candidates |
There is no written examination at any stage. Being called for interview is purely provisional and does not mean CBSL is satisfied about your eligibility – candidature can be rejected at any stage.
