An SBI Probationary Officer (PO) is an entry-level officer who undergoes a probation period of 2 years to learn the various operations of the bank. During this period, the PO is exposed to different roles and departments such as customer service, cash handling, account management, loans, foreign exchange, and back-end administrative work. The primary role of an SBI PO is to manage day-to-day banking activities, assist in loan processing, handle customer queries, manage accounts, ensure compliance with rules and policies, and help in increasing branch-level business.
As they gain experience, POs are also involved in decision-making, marketing of banking products like credit cards, insurance, and fixed deposits, and supervising clerical staff. After successful completion of the probation and internal assessments, the PO is confirmed as an Assistant Manager in Junior Management Grade Scale-I. Over time, with promotions and departmental exams, an SBI PO can rise to high-ranking positions such as Branch Manager, AGM, DGM, or even CGM. The role is dynamic, challenging, and offers significant growth in responsibility and status within the organization.
