1. India Post GDS & IPPB Signature Requirements Overview
Applying for India Post Gramin Dak Sevak (GDS) recruitments (Branch Postmaster BPM, Assistant Branch Postmaster ABPM, Dak Sevak) or India Post Payments Bank (IPPB) online examinations is one of the most frequent citizen services conducted across CSC centers and Cyber Cafes. However, thousands of online application submissions fail at the final stage because of signature dimension errors and file weight mismatches.
The Department of Posts recruitment server employs an automated document pre-check parser. It requires an exact 5:2 horizontal aspect ratio (300 × 120 pixels) and mandates that the final file size must strictly fall between 20 KB and 100 KB. Signatures captured casually with mobile phones often exceed 2 MB or drop below 15 KB when compressed using basic apps, resulting in upload errors.
2. Official Specification & Dimension Breakdown
Always verify your scanned signature against the exact notification standards published by India Post:

4. Step-by-Step Guide: How to Prepare Your Signature
- Sign on Clean Paper: Sign your natural signature on a crisp, unruled white A4 sheet using a black or dark blue pen.
- Capture Under Good Lighting: Take a clear top-down photo ensuring no mobile phone shadows or dark desk background.
- Upload to Tool: Drop the image into our resizer box above.
- Position Within the 5:2 Frame: Adjust the interactive box so your signature sits centered with equal margins on all sides.
- Click Crop & Download: Click "Crop & Resize Signature" and download the final compliant JPG file.
5. Top Reasons Why Postal Application Signatures Get Rejected
- File Size Less than 20 KB: Many online compressors crush simple black-and-white lines down to 8–12 KB. The India Post server rejects anything under 20 KB with the error: "File size must be between 20 KB and 100 KB". Our tool includes automated canvas padding to keep it safely above 25 KB.
- Signatures in Capital Letters: If a candidate writes their full name in capital/block letters, the recruitment board disqualifies the application. Only natural cursive/running handwriting is accepted.
- Dark or Patterned Backgrounds: Signing on lined notebook paper creates background noise that fails automated biometric OCR verification.
