# PSB LBO Phase III Result 2026 Released, 587 Shortlisted 2026-10-21T14:47:42+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Punjab & Sind Bank released the Phase III result for Local Bank Officer (LBO) Recruitment 2026 on 21 October. The bank has provisionally shortlisted 587 candidates for the next stage from a total of 1,000 vacancies. Shortlisted candidates, listed by roll number in a PDF on punjabandsind.bank.in, belong to 17 states including Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and West Bengal. They must now appear for the Language Proficiency Test followed by document verification. The final merit list will be prepared based on performance across all selection stages. The bank has advised shortlisted candidates to monitor their registered email for further communication. ## Indian Opinion Analysis With 587 candidates shortlisted against 1,000 vacancies, over 400 posts remain unfilled at this stage, suggesting the bank may conduct further recruitment or additional rounds. The provisional nature of the shortlist means candidates who clear the language test and verification are still not assured a final offer until the merit list is drawn up. The next step is entirely in the bank's hands: it will communicate separately for the Language Proficiency Test and document verification, but has set no date for these stages. ## Coverage - jagranjosh.com Factual listing of result details and steps, no slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
