Punjab & Sind Bank has released the provisional shortlist for the Local Bank Officer (LBO) Phase III recruitment on 21 October 2026. If your roll number appears in the notice, congratulations — but hold the celebration for one more stage. This is not the final result. It is a provisional list of candidates who cleared the personal interview and are moving to the next stages. In this article we break down exactly what the notice says, how to check your roll number, and what happens next — all verified against the official 4-page PDF issued by the bank’s Head Office HRD department.

First, read this: shortlist is not the final result
This is the single biggest source of confusion on bank job forums every time a shortlist comes out. The notice itself uses the word “provisionally” twice for a reason:
| What many candidates assume | What the notice actually says |
|---|---|
| “My roll number is in the PDF, so I am selected.” | The list is provisional. Final selection needs two more stages. |
| “The final merit list is out.” | The final merit list will be prepared only after the Language Proficiency Test and document verification. |
| “Someone will call me with the details.” | The bank will communicate only through email on your registered email ID. No phone calls, no WhatsApp. |
| “I will get a separate letter.” | The notice itself is the intimation. No separate communication will be sent to candidates who are not shortlisted. |
So treat a shortlisted roll number as a strong position to be in — not as an appointment letter.
What the official notice says, point by point
We read the full 4-page notice (signed by Anchal Nayar, Assistant General Manager, HRD). Here is what it establishes, in plain words:
- Who is listed: applicants who appeared for the personal interviews for the LBO Phase III post and are provisionally shortlisted for further selection. Only roll numbers are printed — no names.
- How it is organised: roll numbers are grouped under each state. The notice covers 17 states: Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Nagaland, Odisha, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal.
- What comes next: a Language Proficiency Test for eligible candidates, followed by document verification. The final merit list comes after both.
- One honest gap: the notice does not explain who counts as “eligible” for the Language Proficiency Test, and it does not give the date, venue or document list for the next stages. Those details sit in the advertisement dated 31.03.2026 — check it before assuming anything.
- Bank’s right to correct: the bank states that all care was taken in compiling the list, but it reserves the right to rectify any inadvertent error, and its decision on all selection matters is final and binding.
How to check whether your roll number is shortlisted
The list contains hundreds of roll numbers across 17 state sections, so do this methodically:
- Open the official shortlist PDF (link in the Important Links table below).
- Scroll to the section for the state you applied from — roll numbers are grouped under state headings, not in one long list.
- Search for your roll number using Ctrl+F on a computer or the search option in your mobile PDF reader.
- Match all 10 digits carefully. A near-match is not a match.
- If your roll number is there, keep watching the email ID you registered with — that is the only channel the bank will use to contact you about the next stage.
- Save or print the notice page showing your state section for your records.
What happens after the shortlist — the road ahead
According to the notice, the remaining selection process looks like this:
- Language Proficiency Test — for eligible candidates (the notice does not define eligibility here; refer to the 31.03.2026 advertisement).
- Document verification — date, venue and the document list are not given in this notice; they will be communicated to shortlisted candidates.
- Final merit list — prepared only after the two steps above are complete.
If you are on the shortlist, the practical things to do now: keep your original documents and their photocopies ready, check your registered email inbox (and spam folder) every day, and do not resign from your current job or make relocation plans until the final merit list is out.
