Being an employee in a bank is considered as a prestigious profession. This is due to the nature of the job as well as the salaries that the bankers command.

The Bank PO Salary and Bank Clerk Salary hikes were implemented retrospectively from November 2017 once the bank unions and the Indian Banking Association reached a consensus.

In this article, we will see the salary of Bank PO, Clerk, and SO under the State Bank of India and Institute of Banking Personnel Selection pay structure.

As per the update released in October 2019, on the Wage Settlement of the Bank employees, it was decided that the employees can claim a part wage arrear before the wage settlement agreement reaches an inevitable conclusion. The part wage arrear is like a Diwali bonanza for the employees of public sector banks as there is a 12% wage revision amounting to a sum of close to Rs. 50,000/- to Rs.100000/-.
