Salary of SBI Clerk after 10th Bipartite Settlement

State Bank of India (SBI) is the premiere public sector bank of India with over 10000 branches spread over the nation and over 190 foreign branches in the 36 different countries. The SBI conducts recruitment examination from time to time in order to recruit candidates into various clerical, probationary and specialist officer posts. Due to the reputation of being the number one public sector bank in the country, lakhs of students try to get into the banking sector holding hands of SBI. The selection process over the years has become tougher by introducing two step written examination-prelims and mains. The salary of the candidates was quite less a couple of years ago. The scenario changed to some extent with the 10^th bipartite settlement coming in last year. The settlement gave the much needed respite to the workers of the bank, who were demanding the settlement for long. Though, the settlement has been done, keeping in mind the benefits of all the shareholders, the SBI clerical salary is much higher than that off the other public sector banks in the country.
