The Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and Industry has urged Jammu & Kashmir Bank to increase its maximum recruitment age to 40 years, citing the need to broaden its talent pool.
The Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) has formally appealed to Jammu & Kashmir Bank to lift the upper age ceiling for its recruitment drives to 40 years. In a statement released earlier this week, KCCI argued that the current limit restricts the bank's ability to attract a wider range of qualified candidates.
KCCI highlighted that many experienced professionals in the region fall just beyond the existing age threshold, and extending it would help the bank tap into this pool while also addressing broader employment concerns. The chamber suggested that a 40-year limit aligns with practices observed in several other Indian banks.
Jammu & Kashmir Bank has not yet issued a response to the appeal. The bank’s human resources department is expected to review the recommendation and consider its implications for future hiring cycles.
If adopted, the revised age limit could reshape the bank’s recruitment strategy and potentially influence hiring norms across the regional banking sector.
