Applicants may note that with the merger of five nationalized banks with the SBI, the number of ‘SBI’ branches has increased. State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur (SBBJ), State Bank of Hyderabad (SBH), State Bank of Mysore (SBM), State Bank of Patiala (SBP), State Bank of Travancore (SBT) and the Bharatiya Mahila Bank (BMB) are now renamed as State Bank of India (SBI).

It takes around 24 hours from the time of registration for the candidate & challan details to get activated for payment. LawMint.com recommends giving the system at least two days before processing the payment.

For example, if you complete the registration and take a print-out of the challan on the 10th of the month, wait till the 12th of the month to go to any branch of SBI to complete the payment.

Take a printed copy of challan; without it your payment cannot be processed.

Step 13

Upload the soft-copy of the challan and enter the ‘journal number’, ‘branch code’ & ‘date of challan’ exactly as mentioned on the student copy of the challan copy. Click the ‘submit’ button when you are done.
