To know the perks of being a RBI Assistant and the allowances and other benefits which an aspirant could get, can be checked from the links below.
PERKS OF BEING A RBI ASSISTANT
When comparing the benefits IBPS PO over ranks the RBI Assistant as the rank of the latter is low when compared to a PO and also the benefits too remains the same. In the entire career progression stint, a PO will move in more ranks but only in the organizational level of that particular bank and here in this criteria RBI Assistant cadre selected ones will get moved to officer cadre if they perform well in the internal exams and it is way ahead when compared to the PO posting and as you all know the end progression stops in becoming the Managing Director / CEO of that particular bank for a PO and the Deputy Governor / Governor of RBI for a RBI Assistant.
The other thing to note is that, transfers are likely to happen in the RBI and usually it will be only out of the aspirant’s living state and there are chances that he/ she may take long years to return to their own state. When compared to the previous statement, IBPS PO selected candidates will have to serve in pan India and can return to their native states in a shorter period (if there are chances).
In the perspective of work wise, RBI Assistant don’t take any decisions and on the contrary IBPS PO takes important decisions for the bank branches. If ease of work is the only criteria, then choosing the former will be the best one, as you have to do only 5 days of work and in the latter from taking important decisions to working 6 days a week comes to the selected candidates.
So seeing in long term, at the end of 15 years, an aspirant getting selected as a RBI Assistant will be in the Grade C position (in the event of clearing the internal exams and other possibilities) and an IBPS PO will be in the Deputy General Manager cadre on the same years of service(in the event of clearing the internal exams and considering the possibilities).
So we have mentioned all the differences and the perks of both the posts and put in more hard work for the RBI Assistant exams because it will be more tough when compared to IBPS PO. It’s time that you decide these types of Questions as this should not hinder the preparation works and also the later stages of the exam preparations. We wish all the candidates a great future and do put in all your efforts for the examinations and do well in the forthcoming examinations.
