The declaration text
Write this on white paper in your own handwriting, in English, with a black pen. Don't write in capital letters.
"I, (your name), hereby declare that all the information submitted by me in the application form is correct, true and valid. I will present the supporting documents as and when required."
Copy the wording from your own notification if it differs. A typed declaration is not accepted. Candidates who cannot write may have the text typed and put their left thumb impression below it, as the notification explains.
The left thumb impression
- Press your left thumb on a blue or black stamp pad, then once on plain white paper. Roll it slightly so the full width shows.
- Photograph it straight from above in good light. The ridges should be sharp, not smudged.
- In ExamPic choose IBPS (or SBI) and then Left thumb. Centre the print in the circle; the tool saves a 240 × 240 px file within 20–50 KB.
Do all four at once with the exam kit
ExamPic shows an Exam kit for bank exams: add your photo, signature, thumb and declaration, and each is marked Ready once it passes the checks. One button downloads all four in a ZIP, already named photo.jpg, signature.jpg, left_thumb.jpg and declaration.jpg.

- Declaration typed, in capitals, or in someone else's handwriting
- Thumb impression smudged or too faint to show ridges
- Photo older than a few months: your face is matched biometrically at the exam centre
