⚠️ Row-sum verification — discrepancy flagged, not resolved: Each post row is internally consistent (its category counts sum to its own row total), and the six row-totals correctly add up to 34. However, the notification's own printed "Total" row states UR = 22 — the UR column as printed across the six rows actually sums to 20, not 22 (and 22+4+1+7+2 = 36, not 34). This is an arithmetic error in the source document's own summary row. We're reproducing it exactly as printed rather than silently correcting it — candidates should treat the grand total of 34 and the individual row entries as reliable, and note this specific inconsistency in the UR subtotal when checking category-wise reservation.

Abbreviations: UR – Unreserved, SC – Scheduled Caste, ST – Scheduled Tribe, OBC – Other Backward Classes, EWS – Economically Weaker Section, PwBD – Persons with Benchmark Disabilities, VI – Visually Impaired. PwBD reservation is horizontal (included within the parent category's count, not additional to it). Vacancies including reserved vacancies are provisional and may vary per the Bank's actual requirement.
