The Jammu and Kashmir Staff Association has appealed to the Lieutenant Governor, requesting his intervention to obtain an age relaxation for candidates applying to the Jammu and Kashmir Bank recruitment drive.
The Jammu and Kashmir Staff Association (JKSA) has formally written to the Lieutenant Governor, seeking his immediate intervention in the ongoing recruitment process of Jammu and Kashmir Bank. The association argues that the current age criteria exclude a significant number of qualified applicants, especially those who have taken career breaks or are re‑entering the workforce.
JKSA contends that an age relaxation would broaden the talent pool and align the bank's hiring policy with broader employment norms observed in other public sector banks. The association has not disclosed the exact age limit it proposes, but it emphasizes that the change is essential to ensure fairness and to meet the bank's staffing needs.
The Lieutenant Governor has not yet responded publicly to the request. JKSA has indicated that it will continue to press the matter and may explore further legal or administrative avenues if the appeal is not addressed promptly.
