The Associated Public-sector Government Banking (APGB) recruitment drive for 2025 has officially opened for the post of Financial Literacy Counsellor. A total of seven vacancies are available across various regions, and eligible candidates may submit their applications through the official online portal.
The recruitment is aimed at strengthening financial literacy programmes at the grassroots level. Financial Literacy Counsellors play a critical role in spreading awareness about banking services, digital transactions, savings schemes, and government financial initiatives among rural and semi-urban populations. Their work directly supports the national mission of expanding financial inclusion and ensuring that underserved communities benefit from formal banking channels.
Candidates who receive this appointment can expect a monthly salary ranging between ₹23,500 and ₹30,000, depending on qualifications and experience. The position comes with standard benefits applicable to public-sector banking recruitment norms.
Applicants must meet the prescribed eligibility criteria, which typically include a minimum educational qualification of graduation from a recognised university. Preference may be given to candidates with prior experience in financial advisory roles, banking operations, or community outreach programmes. The upper age limit and any relaxations for reserved categories will follow standard public-sector recruitment guidelines.
The selection process is expected to involve a combination of a written examination and personal interview. The written test will cover areas such as general awareness, quantitative aptitude, reasoning ability, and domain knowledge related to financial literacy and banking operations. Shortlisted candidates will then appear for the interview round, where communication skills and subject familiarity will be assessed.
The application window will remain open until November 28, 2025. Interested candidates are advised to visit the official APGB recruitment portal, register themselves, fill out the application form carefully, upload the required documents, and pay the application fee before the deadline. Late applications will not be entertained.
This recruitment represents a valuable opportunity for individuals seeking a stable career in the banking and financial services sector while contributing to social impact through financial education at the community level.
