Srinagar, Sep 22:\u00a0<\/strong>Jammu and Kashmir Bank is set to restart recruitment of banking assistants and officers after a gap of five years, with a recruitment notification likely to be issued within days, Managing Director and CEO Amitava Chatterjee said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Chatterjee made the announcement while responding to a query during the Bank’s 88th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of shareholders held at the Sher-i-Kashmir International Convention Centre (SKICC) here.<\/p>\n

He said the agreement with the agency that will conduct the recruitment examinations has been finalised and the notification will be issued shortly.<\/p>\n

The recruitment process will cover Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh, he said.<\/p>\n

On recruitment outside Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, Chatterjee said the Bank may undertake limited hiring based on local language requirements in areas where it operates.<\/p>\n

“The bank has a presence in 22 states outside J&K and we require employees who are proficient in local languages to serve our customers,” he added.<\/p>\n

Earlier, J&K Bank held its 88th AGM at SKICC, with Part-time Non-Executive Chairman S. Krishnan chairing the meeting in the presence of MD & CEO Amitava Chatterjee and members of the Board of Directors.<\/p>\n

Addressing shareholders, Krishnan said the Bank’s past, present and future were reflected in the AGM’s theme.<\/p>\n

“Our past gives us identity. Our present gives us strength. Our future gives us responsibility. Trust is our inheritance. Tradition is our anchor. Transformation is our obligation,” he said.<\/p>\n

He said the Bank’s progress should ultimately be measured by its contribution to the economic and social transformation of the region and beyond.<\/p>\n

Record Profit, Business Milestone<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking on the occasion, Chatterjee said the Bank had maintained its growth trajectory despite challenging circumstances and recorded its fourth consecutive year of record profitability.<\/p>\n

“Net profit reached an all-time high of Rs 2,363 crore, registering year-on-year growth of 13.5 per cent. The growth momentum has continued into the current financial year. By June 2026, the Bank crossed the historic milestone of Rs 3 trillion in total business,” he said.<\/p>\n

He said the Bank’s progress had been broad-based, with profitability, asset quality, efficiency and capital strength advancing together.<\/p>\n

Digital Transactions Up 94%<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chatterjee said investments in digital platforms, data analytics, cybersecurity and process automation had improved customer experience and operational efficiency.<\/p>\n

“The rapid growth of up to 94 per cent in digital transactions during FY 2025-26 demonstrates the increasing trust customers place in our digital ecosystem,” he said.<\/p>\n

‘Bank Of Choice’ Remains Aspiration<\/strong><\/p>\n

Outlining the Bank’s future plans, Chatterjee said it would continue investing in people and technology while strengthening cybersecurity, customer experience and innovation.<\/p>\n

“Our aspiration is clear: to become the ‘Bank of Choice’. Towards this goal, we will continue to invest in our people and technology, reinforce cybersecurity, improve customer experience and institutionalise a culture of innovation and excellence,” he said.<\/p>\n

The AGM concluded with a question-and-answer session during which shareholders raised queries that were addressed by the MD & CEO. Shareholders also appreciated the Bank’s improving performance during FY 2025-26\u2014(KNO)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
