The Gandevi People’s Co-Operative Bank Limited, headquartered at Parsiwad, P.B. No. 10, Gandevi – 396360, District Navsari, Gujarat, has released a notification dated 10 August 2026 inviting online applications for 13 posts in the Clerical cadre. The posts will be filled in a phased manner across various locations within the Bank’s area of operation. Candidates must be domiciled in Gujarat State, aged 21 to 28 years as on 10 August 2026, and hold a Bachelor’s degree with at least 55% marks, subject to specific exclusions. Selection is through an Online Written Examination followed by a Personal Interview held at Gandevi. The application fee is Rs. 590 for all candidates. Applications are accepted online only through gpcb.bank.in, with the window closing on 31 August 2026. Please note that this is a co-operative bank recruitment, not a Government department or nationalised bank vacancy.
Important Note: Three things every applicant must check before paying the fee. First, the official notification carries two conflicting application windows – the schedule table and the fee-payment clause state 10 August 2026 to 31 August 2026, while a separate line in the same document states 01 August 2026 to 20 August 2026. A second conflict exists on the qualifying-result cut-off, stated as 10 August 2026 in the Eligibility section and as 01 August 2026 in the interview documents clause. Both inconsistencies are in the official notification itself. Confirm the operative dates on gpcb.bank.in or with the Bank directly before you apply, because applying against the wrong window could cost you the fee. Second, your degree may disqualify you even if you meet the 55% mark – B.A. graduates are not eligible at all, and Engineering graduates are not eligible except those holding BE or B.Tech in Information Technology or Computer Science. CA Intermediate and CMA Intermediate candidates are eligible. Read the exclusions before paying. Third, the notification specifies no age relaxation and no fee concession for any category – SC, ST, OBC, PwD and Ex-Servicemen candidates are not shown any relaxation in age or exemption from the Rs. 590 fee anywhere in the document. Verify from the official notification on gpcb.bank.in before assuming any category benefit applies.
