J&K Bank introduced an amended reservation policy, which opponents described as an “act of exclusion in the garb of reservation”. The bank plans to fill 1400 vacancies, including 323 probationary officers and 1033 banking associates, under this new policy. The policy reduced the age limit for Open Merit to 30 and raised the age criteria for reserved categories to 40 years.

As a major non-government recruitment agency in the Union Territory, the bank's policy change has sparked opposition from regional political parties and social organizations.
