PDCC Bank Peon Recruitment 2026 – Overview

Important Dates

Vacancy Details / Post Wise Break-up

This drive is uncomplicated in terms of vacancy structure — all 289 openings sit under a single designation, Shipai (Peon), so there's no post-wise split to work through.

The bank has reserved the right to reduce the number of posts on offer, or to pause or cancel the recruitment at any stage, and no horizontal or parallel reservation applies to this particular drive.

Eligibility Criteria

Educational Qualification

Applicants need to have cleared at least their Higher Secondary Certificate (12th standard) or hold a diploma treated as equivalent to it. It's worth going through the official notification PDF once to confirm there are no additional post-specific conditions.

Age Limit (as on 01 Aug 2026)

• Minimum Age: 18 Years
• Maximum Age: 38 Years

Age Relaxation

This recruitment doesn't carry the usual category-wise (SC/ST/OBC/PWD) age relaxation, since no horizontal reservation applies here. The one relaxation on offer is for candidates already working on contract with agencies under the bank: if they've completed at least 3 years of relevant experience as on 1 August 2026, their upper age limit extends to 43 years instead of 38.

Domicile Requirement

This is a locally-restricted recruitment. Applicants must be original residents of Pune district for at least the past 15 years and must hold a valid Domicile Certificate issued after 2018. Married women who are residents outside Pune district can still apply, provided they submit their husband's Pune domicile certificate along with a marriage registration certificate.

Salary Details

Selected candidates first go through a 6-month probation period, during which they're paid a flat consolidated amount. Once confirmed, they move to the bank's regular pay scale for the Shipai cadre, along with allowances as applicable under bank rules.

Selection Process

Selection runs through three stages, and the final merit list is drawn up on a combined 100-mark scale.

• Offline Written Examination (OMR-based, 70 marks, Marathi medium)
• Document Verification (candidates shortlisted 1:3 against vacancies)
• Interview (30 marks)
• Final Merit List (written + interview marks combined out of 100)

Application Fee

Required Documents

Keep these scanned copies ready before you start filling the online form, so the process goes through without last-minute delays.

How to Apply Online

1. Visit the official website: https://www.punedccbank.com (or pdcc.bank.in/careers).
2. Go through the notification and instructions carefully, then click on "New Registration" to begin.
3. Fill in every field accurately — details cannot be edited once submitted, so double-check before moving ahead.
4. Upload your scanned photograph and signature as per the specified size and format.
5. Upload your Domicile Certificate and Aadhaar Card — both are mandatory at this stage.
6. Head to the payment gateway and pay the exam fee online; the application isn't complete until this is done.
7. Download and print the confirmation page along with the fee receipt, and keep it safe for the rest of the process.

Only one application is allowed per candidate — submitting more than one will get all of them rejected during scrutiny.

Important Instructions

• Any false, fabricated, or concealed information in the application will lead to immediate cancellation of candidature.
• Trying to seek recommendation or influence any bank official during the process will get a candidate disqualified outright.
• Being physically present is mandatory for the written exam, document verification, and interview stages.
• Any change to the process will be announced through local newspapers or the bank's website — individual candidates won't be notified separately.
• The written exam will mostly be conducted in Pune city, though other centres in the district may be used depending on turnout.
• Working knowledge of Marathi, Hindi, and English is expected.
• The bank hasn't authorised any coaching institute, YouTube channel, or Telegram group for guidance on this recruitment — treat any such claims as unverified.

Why Should You Apply?

This is a genuinely accessible opportunity for 12th-pass candidates from Pune district who are looking for stable, long-term employment in the cooperative banking sector. The entry qualification is low compared to most bank recruitments, which widens the pool of eligible freshers considerably. And because this drive is reserved for local residents, competition is naturally narrower than in an all-India recruitment.
