CDS Examination Fees

Candidates (except Female, SC, and ST candidates) will have to pay Rs. 200 as examination fee either in cash in any State Bank of India branch or by using State Bank of India net banking facility or by using Master/Visa/Debit Card/RuPay Credit.

NOTE 1: Applicants who choose the “Pay by Cash” option should get a printout of the Pay-in-slip generated by the system during registration and deposit the fee the next working day at the SBI branch counter. This payment mode option will be made inactive at 11:59 pm on 10th January 2022, one day before the deadline. Applicants who have already generated their pay-in slip before the end of 10th January 2022, can pay the fee at the SBI Branch counter till 6 pm on 11th January 2022. Applicants who are unable to pay the fee by cash will have no other option but to opt for an online Credit/Debit Card or internet banking payment mode to pay the examination fee before the deadline, i.e., 6 pm on 11th January 2022.

NOTE 2: Applicants who have not received payment details from the bank will have their applications rejected. Within two weeks of the last day for online application submission, a list of all such applicants will be posted on the Commission’s website. The applicants must submit proof of their fee payment to the Commission within 10 days of receiving such communication, either by hand or by speed post. Genuine fee payment cases will be considered after receiving documentary proof, and their applications will be accepted if they are found otherwise eligible.
