Branches of both UCO Bank and SBI are functioning in Secretariat premises. As the UCO Bank branch is operating since 47 years, and the SBI Branch since 13 years, many of the employees of the Secretariat have opened their accounts in UCO Bank. 
Although its not compulsory to open your salary account in banks of Secretariat Branches but as our job is Secretariat centric, many of us prefer to operate our account from either of these two branches. 
Many of the recent 500 ASOs may have salary accounts for their present job. So anyone already having a bank account, they can transfer it to Secretariat branch for their easy correspondence with bank.
You can also open your salary account for this Secretariat Job separately in this bank. For this you can send your documents to the bank email id and getting your passbook on the day of orientation program. Otherwise bring your KYC to the orientation venue and the bank officials will help you in opening your account on the spot.
