The Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) Probationary Officer exam is a highly competitive banking test. Apart from the standard photograph, signature, and left thumb impression, the IBPS portal requires candidates to submit a "Handwritten Declaration". This unique document verifies that all information provided in your application is truthful and submitted by you personally. Failing to upload this document in the exact format required, or writing the wrong text, will result in immediate rejection of your application.
You must write the following exact text on a plain white sheet of paper. Do not change the wording. Make sure to fill in your name where the blank line indicates:
The IBPS is extremely strict about how this text is written. It must be written entirely in English. You must use a Black Ink Pen to write the declaration. Using blue ink, pencils, or gel pens that smudge can cause the scanner software to flag your upload.
Most importantly, the declaration MUST NOT be written in CAPITAL LETTERS. If you write the entire sentence in uppercase (e.g., "I HEREBY DECLARE THAT..."), your application will be deemed invalid. You must use your natural, running handwriting (sentence case).
Once you have written the declaration on paper, you must scan it or photograph it clearly. For the IBPS PO portal, the file must be heavily formatted. The dimensions should be approximately 10 cm by 5 cm, which digitally translates to 800 pixels in width and 400 pixels in height (800x400 px). The file format must be strictly JPG or JPEG.
The file size limit is specifically set between 50 KB and 100 KB. This is larger than the signature size allowance because the portal needs the full sentence to remain highly legible. If your file is over 100 KB, the system will reject the upload. Attempting to compress a large mobile phone photo down to 100 KB without making the handwritten text blurry can be challenging, which is why utilizing our dedicated resizing tool is highly recommended.
Manually adjusting pixel dimensions and compressing kilobyte sizes for the handwritten declaration using standard mobile apps is frustrating and often leads to unreadable text. Our specialized IBPS PO tool handles this automatically. Simply select the "Declaration" tab above. The tool calibrates to the exact 800x400 pixel and 50-100 KB limits. You can safely upload a high-resolution photo of your paper (up to 3 MB), and the algorithm will crop, resize, and compress it securely inside your web browser. Similar to formatting your IBPS PO Photo or SSC CGL documents, your files remain 100% private and are never uploaded to our servers.
