Typically, a bank PO undergoes a 2 year probation period or training and then gets the post of Assistant Manager on joining a branch. During this period, officers are assigned various responsibilities and roles such as:
Providing Service to Customers: In many branches of public sector banks, a probationary officer will be asked to assist customers in various services such as opening new bank accounts, handling cash receipts, depositing money etc. The responsibility of issuing ATM cards, cheque books, Demand Drafts etc. is also assigned to probationary officers.
Expanding Business: As an IBPS PO, you need to interact with customers directly. During this process, you need to promote various products and services of the bank and its partners such as fixed deposits, mutual funds, insurance policies etc.
Handling Cash and Customer Complaints: You may be required to perform clerical work or activities related to the bank. You should be able to control the ATM activities as well. Another responsibility of IPBS PO job profile is to work as public relations officer and handling customer complaints.

You will have to send official letters and e-mails to other departments and ensure a free flow of communication. You need to follow these responsibilities effectively as well as efficiently to maintain your position of IBPS PO.
After knowing about the roles and responsibilities in a typical IBPS PO job profile, you must be curious to know the salary. In most of the public sector banks, Salary of PO is almost same. Thus, CTC will vary from bank to bank and place of posting. Current, revised basic pay of PO:
23700 – (980 x 7) – 30560 – (1145 x 2) – 32850 – (1310 x 7) – 42020

In most of the public sector banks, the first term of the pay scale Rs 14500/- is the initial basic pay of Bank PO. The second term in the pay scale shows that officers can get up to 7 increments worth Rs 600/- each. The third term involves 2 increments worth Rs 700/- rupees. Similarly, the fourth term in the pay scale will mean that a Probationary Officer can get 7 more increments worth 800/- each This means that the total salary which an IBPS PO can draw after completion of all the terms will be Rs 25,700. After adding all the allowances, the total salary will be approx Rs. 42,000. Let us see the perks & allowances breakdown:
